跨国视野下的中国农村问题——以太平洋国际学会为中心的考察

Chinese Rural Social Surveys in A Transnational Perspective:A Study with a Focus on the Institute of Pacific Relations

20世纪二三十年代中国农村调查研究热潮兴起。太平洋国际学会资助了一系列重要的中国农村调查。此时知识领域频繁、深入的跨国交流推动和深化了中国农村的调查与研究。这一跨国学术思想脉络表明,30年代兴起的中国农村问题不仅是中国内部的学术问题,也是国际学术界关注的重要问题。其涉及的跨国学术研究和论争突出了以农村问题为关键的中国工业化问题。这一段跨国学术史彰显了一个重要史实,即20世纪中国社会变革的关键是农村问题的解决。

The 1920s and 1930s witnessed an upsurge of social surveys on rural China.The Institute of Pacific Relations(IPR)funded a series of important surveys.The frequent and in-depth transnational and cross-continental intellectual exchanges and collaborations among social scientists show that the Chinese agrarian problems were not only academic hotspots within the Chinese social scientist community,but were also important issues of concern for the transnational academic community at large.The series of transnational academic discussions and debates have ultimately pointed to the particularities of Chinese industrialization.This study demonstrates the significance of the agrarian problems in the social transformation of twentieth-century China.
