中国国际关系研究的问题与反思

近年来,中国国际关系研究中所存在的种种问题,如理论与现实脱节、理论创新缺失、方法论滞后、学术规范和学术批评薄弱等引起学界的积极关注与反思。作者指出,加强自身研究中的“问题意识”是一条连接国际关系的理论与实践、探索理论创新的有效途径;应充分发挥我国重视历史的优良传统,努力促进理论与历史之间的对话;推动方法论的建设,既需要补充定量研究方法的知识,也需要提高定性研究的品质;同时,要重视学术体制和学术规范的建设,开展健康的学术批评。

Problems in and Reflections on Studies of International Relations in China

In recent years,more attention has been directed to problems in the studies of international relations in China,namely,separation of theory and practice,lack of originality in theory,methodology that lags behind,irregular academic criteria and weakness in academic criticism.As a result of reflections on these issues,the author suggests that being aware of these problems in our own studies will promote combination of international relation theories with practice and will be a means to ensure theoretical innovation.We should take advantage of our tradition in emphasizing history to enhance dialogue between theory and history,reinforce researches on methodology by adding to our store of knowledge skills of quantitative studies and improving our ability to conduct qualitative studies.Meanwhile,we should not neglect establishment of academic criteria to carry out academic criticism scientifically.
