我国世界史学科的历史回顾与前途展望

A Historical Review of World History as a Discipline in China and its Prospects

新兴的世界史学科,随着全球经济一体化趋势的形成,于二次世界大战以后在各国迅速发展起来。我国该学科的研究,也经历了从辛亥革命到中华人民共和国成立,再到20世纪末的萌芽和奠基阶段,迎来了目前的迅猛发展时期。为了取得更大的成绩,史学工作者应在扩大研究范围、吸收新理论、利用新材料、采用新方法、研究新问题等方面作出艰苦努力。

Since the Second World War and with the emergence of economic globalization, World History as a new discipline has quickly emerged in the world. The study of this discipline in China has experienced the rudimentary stage from the Revolution of 1911 to the founding of P. R. A, the foundation-laying stage of the later 20th century and the quick development of the present period. To make greater achievements, historians and other scholars concerned should spare no effort to enlarge their research areas, absorb new theories, use new materials and new approaches to solve new problems.
