新时代边疆治理的时空转换与边疆治理现代化的推进

The Spatiotemporal Transformation and Modernization Advancement of Frontier Governance in the New Era

中国新时代社会主要矛盾转化和外向性发展把边疆推置到一个更大的发展舞台和更广的空间之中,边疆的时空转换促使边疆形态变化和新的边疆观形成。由此给予了人们把传统定点的、静止的边疆治理认知,放置到由多样领域、多层空间的更为广阔的经济往来、社会互动与文化交往交流交融的形成过程之中去观察边疆治理现代化的契机。在理念上,新时代边疆治理跳出了传统认识与叙事的“古”与“今”历时态维度的观察,继而转向联系、联络与网络式的交往交流世界的“中”与“外”的共时态的开放性视角思考,需要在连续性的时空转换和多元间的关系调整中理解边疆治理的时代地位。在这一时空转换中重新认识边疆治理现代化,无论是学术界研究指出的边疆治理取向的区域主义、域际主义,还是元问题、共同体主义,在内容上都一致地指向了突出边疆性这一内容的治理,就是要突出边疆区域本身具有的特征以及在其治理与发展中的主体性功能,在国家治理统筹下,边疆治理回到根据边疆本身特征进行治理的路径上。基于此,边疆治理现代化需要从强化边疆发展的时序性思维、空间性特征、外部性因素、差异性现状和过程性内容等五个方面展开,不断推进边疆治理现代化进程。

The transformation of the main social contradictions and the outward development in the new era of China have pushed the frontier into a larger stage of development and a broader space.The spatiotemporal transformation of the frontier has led to changes in its form and the formation of new frontier perspectives.This gives us the opportunity to observe the modernization of border governance by placing traditional fixed and static notions of frontier governance into the process of broader economic exchanges,social interactions,and cultural exchanges and integration across diverse fields and multiple layers of space.In terms of concept,frontier governance in the new era transcends the traditional understanding and narratives of the diachronic dimensions of“ancient”and“present”,shifting towards a contemporaneous open perspective of connectivity,linkage,and networking in the world of“native”and“foreign”interactions.It requires understanding the epochal status of border governance in the context of continuous spatiotemporal transformations and adjustments in diverse relationships.In this spatiotemporal transformation,the modernization of frontier governance is re-recognized.Whether it is regionalism,inter-domain,or meta-issues and communalism proposed by the academic research on borderland governance orientation,they all point to the governance content emphasizing the“frontier nature”.It is necessary to highlight the characteristics of the frontier itself and the main function in its governance and development,and return to the path of governance according to the characteristics of the frontier under the overall planning of national governance.Therefore,the modernization of frontier governance needs to be approached from five aspects:strengthening temporal thinking,spatial characteristics,external factors,current differences,and process-oriented content to continuously advance the process of modernizing frontier governance.
