近现代离散华人经济分型研究

Research on Economy Types of Modern and Contemporary Chinese Diaspora

在罗宾·科恩等学者对离散族群的分类基础上,对19世纪中叶至今海外离散华人的经济行为类型进行梳理,并分析祖籍国态度、政策在其离散模式塑造中的关键作用。研究发现,“劳工型、商贸型、大国型”发展演变的整体趋势背后,反映出离散华人群体在故土与现居地之间徘徊的时代抉择和双重关切。作为离散群体中最为积极、主动的跨国华人,他们一方面“无以为家”,另一方面又“处处为家”,其兼顾超越民族与国家疆界的实践,恰可成为“全球化中国”与人类命运共同体理念的最佳写照。

Based on Robin Cohen and other scholars'classification of diaspora communities,the author examines the economic behavior types of overseas Chinese diaspora since the mid-nineteenth century,and analyzes the key effects that their motherland's attitude and policies have had on the formation of their diaspora model.The research results indicate Chinese diaspora communities'historical choice and dual concerns between their native land and current residence against the backdrop of the overall development trend,i.e.,“laborer type—commerce and trade type—large nation type”.As the most active transnational Chinese among all diaspora groups,they are“non-homeland-based”on one hand,and“feel at home everywhere”on the other.Their practice has gone beyond ethnic and national territories,which perfectly mirrors the ideal of“globalized China”and a community with a shared future for mankind.
