組織緣起

 

 今日世界是一個全球化、多元化的世界,每一個地區或國家都不再能夠自外於國際社會而生存。台灣當前的外交形勢險峻,島內多種意識型態紛呈,因此了解其他地區或國家,對於台灣的國際處境與外交議題做出正確的判斷是十分重要的。在國際關係中,中國與台灣的關係可說是既複雜、又密切,思考兩岸關係或大陸政治、社會情況時,也常有眾多的說法和不同的思考方向。然而,任何議題若欠缺宏觀的眼光來關照和解釋其結構和變化,便很容易被意識型態或短時間的突發事件所誤導。因此歷史學研究扮演了一個十分重要的角色,它提供的一個長時段的視角來關注並解釋中國今日面貌的形成過程,並從各個不同資料、不同行為者的角度互相比較參照,以求真實的呈現。

基於推動中國近代史研究的目標,「國立政治大學中國近代史研究中心」特於2003年四月成立,期望能整合與中國近代史研究相關之學術活動,結合各項資源,進行學術研究及資料整編等工作,加強與國內外各相關研究機構之交流為宗旨,促進中國近代史研究的深化與發展。

 

Prelude

Today, the world is increasingly globalized and pluralistic that every region and country cannot live without the international society. The diplomatic situation of Taiwan is harsh, and the ideologies in the island are diverse. Therefore, it is essential for Taiwan to understand other countries for the sake of proper decision-making on diplomatic issues and international relations. In international politics, the relationship between China and Taiwan is sensitive and complicated. There are so many ways of interpreting political and social affairs of Mainland China and cross-strait relations. Without the guide of microscopic views one may possibly get lost in certain ideologies and events, not to mention to give appropriate explanations. Historical studies thus play an important role to provide us a long-term perspective for observing and explaining the transition of modern China, and to help us to reconstruct historical realities by means of various materials and comparative approaches.

       With the aim of promoting researches into modern Chinese history, the “Center for Studies in Modern Chinese History” has been founded since April 2003. The Center attempts to integrate academic activities in relation to modern Chinese history, to incorporate different resources for researches and database establishment, and to improve scholarly exchanges between research institutions at home and abroad. These works will undoubtedly help to broaden and deepen scholars’ views in the researches on modern Chinese history.
