中国学术界对国际冷战史研究的现状与课题

The Study of Cold War International History in China:Conditions and Agendas

本文主要评论2005—2007年期间中国学术界在国际冷战史研究领域的进展状况、存在的问题以及未来的发展趋势。作者认为,中国学术界在国际冷战史研究领域取得的相当可喜的成就,正在逐渐缩小与国际学术界之间的差距。中国学术界在国际冷战史研究领域存在的问题突出表现在三个方面:现实政治关怀与学术追求之间的统一问题、一些具有重要现实意义和学术价值的课题还没有得到应有的重视、还没有能够在多边关系框架中探索东西方关系发展进程中的一些重要课题。伴随着有关国家历史档案解密范围的扩大,国际冷战史研究的重心将转向20世纪70年代以来的各类课题研究。后冷战时期亚洲地区国际政治经济关系发展进程中的矛盾,亦将推动中国学者更加关注亚洲区域冷战史的研究。

This essay discusses the progress,the remaining gaps,and the future directions of the study of Cold War international history by the Chinese academic circle during 2005-2007.The author contends that Chinese scholars have achieved considerable progress in the field of Cold War international history and are gradually narrowing the gap between their research and that of the international academic community.According to the author,three problems remain in the field of Cold War international history in China:the reconciliation between scholars' concern for important issues of current reality and their academic pursuit;the neglect of topics that have both academic value and relevance to significant issues of current reality;the failure to explore the history of East-West relations within a multilateral framework.With the declassification of historical archives in many countries,the study of Cold War international history will focus on the various issues and topics since the 1970s.The emergence of the contradictions in the development of international political and economic relations in post-Cold War Asia will push Chinese scholars to pay more attention to the examination of Cold War history in Asia.
