西方跨国绅士化研究进展及对中国的启示

A REVIEW OF RESEARCH ON TRANSNATIONAL GENTRIFICATION IN THE WEST AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR CHINA

进入21世纪以来,伴随着全球化进程的加速,由跨国移民组成的跨国绅士化群体的流动速度和频率也大量增加,由此产生的跨国绅士化这一新兴绅士化类型开始引起了学者们较多的关注。本文针对西方跨国绅士化研究文献,从跨国绅士化概念的提出开始,系统整理和回顾了跨国绅士化现象的发展背景、现象特征、形成机制、社会效应、以及发展趋势,并指出跨国绅士化在其发展趋势中的正面效应是地区全球化发展的关键。在展望西方跨国绅士化的研究方法、实证案例、后效预测的基础上,认为我国的跨国绅士化研究应当注意中国语境下的概念衍生、发展程度、政府角色以及政策应对,从而构建基于中国语境及本土化的跨国绅士化研究框架。

Gentrification is a process of socio-spatial reconstruction in which the higher income class replaces the lower income class and improves the built environment of the community.It not only appears in the change of domestic living space,but also is caused by transnational capital and immigration in other countries or regions.It leads to a new gentrification phenomenon in the era of globalization.Therefore,the concept of transnational gentrification is introduced in this study to explain how transnational immigrants inject their own preferences of consumption behavior and pursuit of material space into the process of community transformation,and replace local residents as the main users of community space.Aiming at the research literature on transnational gentrification in the west,starting with the concept of transnational gentrification,this paper systematically arranges and reviews the development background,phenomenon characteristics,formation mechanism,impact consequences and development trend of transnational gentrification,and points out that how to retain transnational gentrifiers is the key in the development trend of transnational gentrification.The effect of sustainable construction of transnational communities on economic growth cannot be ignored.Yet the negative impact on vulnerable groups is also clear.On the basis of looking forward to the research methods,empirical cases and aftereffect prediction of western transnational gentrification,this paper believes that Chinese transnational gentrification research should pay more attention to the concept derivation,development degree,role of government and policy response in the Chinese context,so as to build a transnational gentrification research framework with Chinese context and characteristics.
