经贸科学理论中心全球地域转移的特征——以国际贸易理论为例

Translocational Features of the Economic and Trade Theories Center Across the World--Use International Trade Theories As the Case

经贸科学理论的孕育和形成需要特殊的地理环境——地域温床,随着社会生产力水平在全球不同地域范围内的此消彼长,地域温床不停地发生空间转移,从而导致经贸科学理论中心的全球地域转移。通过研究得出四个结论:①创新环境是决定经贸科学理论形成的地域温床;②经贸科学理论中心存在清晰的自西向东全球空间转移路径;③随着经济全球化和区域经济一体化的不断深入,经贸科学理论的阶级性在削弱、理性在成长;④经贸科学理论中心的地域转移总是发生在社会生产力大变革的转型时期。

Gestation and formulation of economic and trade theories requires special geographical conditions, which create a so- called regional hotbed. Along with change of the level of regional productive forces and the continuous translocation of the regional hotbed, the center of economic and trade theories moved from place to place across the world. Through detailed study, this paper argues that firstly, the innovational environment is a regional hotbed that decides the formation of economic and trade theories, and the hotbed, guided by technological innovation, comes into being in a special international political pattern and in an environment of dynamic ideas and democratic politics; secondly, economic and trade theories shift along a clear path from west to east, and the route is as follows: from Southern Europe along the Mediterranean to Western Europe, onwards to North America along the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean and finally to East Asia along the west coast of the Pacific Ocean despite un - emergence of the last stage at the moment,we have full reason to believe,with the prosperity of East Asia, that the urban system of East Asia will become the center of economy and international trade of the world and gestate epoch - making international trade theories; and thirdly, with development of the economic globalization and integration of regional economies, the class character of the theories of economic and trade sciences is weakening whereas its rational faculty is growing. The fact that the means of analysis evolve from qualitative analysis to quantitative analysis and that the content of idealism become smaller and smaller accounts for why trade theories express the rational faculty of respecting facts and the disappearance of ideological brands. Leontief's Puzzle has become the major theoretical source for international trade. It explains why modern trade theories show the rational faculty of respecting scientific spirit and it also demonstrates that the trade theories created in accordance with national requirements are losing in popularity. Mean while this paper discusses why the spatial shift of the source of trade theory has always taken place at a critical moment also when a great change of productive forces occured.
