Australia is an influential country in the Asia-Pacific region,China-Australia relations are an important set of bilateral relations in the Asia-Pacific region,Therefore,Australian studies have attracted much attention from domestic academic circles。November 2023,Australian Prime Minister Albanese was invited to visit China,Relationships between the two countries stabilize and pick up。This move will also help promote exchanges and cooperation between the academic circles of the two countries。For this,Our reporter interviewed the president of the Oceania bet365 horse racing odds Branch of the China Asia-Pacific Society、Professor Wang Shiming, School of Politics and International Relations, East China Normal University,Comment on the domestic Australian bet365 horse racing odds situation。

 "Chinese Social Sciences Journal": Australian bet365 horse racing odds belongs to country bet365 horse racing odds,How do you define the connotation and significance of Australian studies in the context of regional and national studies?

Wang Shiming:In the context of traditional disciplines,Australian studies does not have an exact definition,Of course there is no need to launch an academic discussion to define the connotation of Australian studies。The birth of regional and national studies,Provides an overall disciplinary framework and clear cognitive ideas to clarify the boundaries of Australian bet365 horse racing odds and explain its bet365 horse racing odds connotation。Since all-round bet365 horse racing odds is the essence of regional and country studies,Then the study of Australia must not only examine its politics and law、Economy and Society、Diplomacy and Defense,We also need to study its history and geography、Customs and customs、Language and Culture、Health and wellness, etc.。But,What needs clarification,Comprehensive bet365 horse racing odds does not mean studying everything,It is not necessary to study everything,It’s also impossible。For example,Some extremely “fragmented” bet365 horse racing odds,Despite providing a certain aspect of knowledge,But it has nothing to do with constructing the knowledge system of regional and country studies、There is no connection between the subject system and the talent training system。Recognize this,It is meaningful for the continued advancement of regional and country studies or the healthy development of regional and country disciplines。

  "China Social Sciences Journal": More than 40 years of reform and opening up,The academic community pays due attention to Australian studies,Relevant bet365 horse racing odds has a certain academic accumulation。Then,What is the current status of Australian bet365 horse racing odds in China?

Wang Shiming:I talk about this issue from two aspects。On the one hand, the progress made in Australian bet365 horse racing odds。First,The bet365 horse racing odds team continues to grow。From a few people in the early days of reform and opening up to a considerable bet365 horse racing odds camp now,This is one of the main manifestations of the remarkable progress made in Australian bet365 horse racing odds。Second,bet365 horse racing odds institutions are blooming everywhere。so far,There are nearly forty Australian bet365 horse racing odds centers across the country。In addition,There are also some bet365 horse racing odds institutions with names such as "Oceania", "South Pacific" and "Pacific"。In these regional bet365 horse racing odds institutions,Australia has become an important branch or bet365 horse racing odds object。Third,Various bet365 horse racing odds results emerge in endlessly。Past,The number of Australian bet365 horse racing odds results is small and the form is relatively simple;Nowadays, the number of results is increasing day by day and in various forms,Presenting academic works、Think tank report、Development reports and current affairs reviews go hand in hand。Fourth,Academic exchanges have entered the track of institutionalization。The first Australian Academic Symposium opened in 1988,Convened every two years thereafter。The first Oceania Symposium was held in 2018,Thereafter, a regular meeting will be held once a year。Except the above two national academic seminars,There are also some bet365 horse racing odds institutions that hold various seminars or academic workshops on a regular or irregular basis。

On the other hand, there are shortcomings in Australian bet365 horse racing odds。First,Study the imbalance of power distribution。In the domestic Australian bet365 horse racing odds team,More than half are related to literary bet365 horse racing odds,There are fewer researchers in other fields。If this phenomenon continues,Obviously it is not conducive to the comprehensive spread of Australian bet365 horse racing odds and the improvement of the overall bet365 horse racing odds level。Second,Imbalance in bet365 horse racing odds fields。Looking at the four main disciplines covered by regional and national studies,Literary bet365 horse racing odds、Historical bet365 horse racing odds is ahead of other disciplines;Economic bet365 horse racing odds has had outstanding performance for a period of time,But it has been declining in recent years;Political studies (here meaning the study of Australian domestic politics) has not yet formed an academic camp;bet365 horse racing odds in other fields is basically ignored。

  "China Social Sciences Journal": The construction and development of any discipline are inseparable from the questioning of methodology。Please talk about the significance of methodology to Australian studies。

Wang Shiming:First of all, what I want to say is,Methodology is not a priori existence,It comes from practice,From careful observation and careful thinking of the objects of knowledge,It is a way to discover and solve problems。Diverse methodologies,Some bet365 horse racing odds methods are marked by a certain discipline,But it does not mean that it is only applicable to this discipline。

Regional and national studies is an interdisciplinary subject,Another new subject,Therefore,The methodology of regional and country studies is bound to be multidisciplinary、Multidimensional、Multimodal and other features。Currently,Academic circles have conducted extensive discussions on regional and country bet365 horse racing odds methods,“Local bet365 horse racing odds” and “interdisciplinary bet365 horse racing odds” are highly respected by everyone。The reason why these two methods are so popular,Related to the unique attributes of the discipline of regional and country studies。Take Australian bet365 horse racing odds as an example,If you want to study indigenous issues or immigration issues,Literature analysis alone is obviously insufficient,Need the blessing of other bet365 horse racing odds methods,For example, on-site bet365 horse racing odds。Conduct a field trip to the local area,Communicate face to face with locals,Connecting history with reality,Not only can it confirm the accuracy of historical documents to a certain extent,And it can expand the scope of bet365 horse racing odds and enrich the content of bet365 horse racing odds。If you want to investigate Australia’s “White Australia Policy”,Interdisciplinary bet365 horse racing odds is a good choice。History can sort out the ins and outs of this policy;Economics can reveal the economic motivations behind the implementation of this policy;Political science can analyze the race that influenced the introduction of this policy、Cultural and political party factors;Literature can provide some valuable case analysis and language reference;And so on。

Of course,Any bet365 horse racing odds method is related to its specific bet365 horse racing odds object,Changed the bet365 horse racing odds object,This method may not be useful。Any bet365 horse racing odds object has a dominant bet365 horse racing odds method,Other bet365 horse racing odds methods can only provide certain assistance or the icing on the cake。Therefore,The choice of methodology must be based on reality,Based on solving problems,Do not copy mechanically or cut the feet to fit。This is the scientific issue of methodology mentioned by Engels。

  "Chinese Social Sciences Journal": currently,What aspects does Australian bet365 horse racing odds need to focus on?

Wang Shiming:Regional and national studies provide a rare opportunity for Australian studies,Also brings some new challenges。The academic community needs to face up to its own shortcomings,And constructed from disciplines、Professional construction、bet365 horse racing odds system refinement、Plan the future development direction of Australian bet365 horse racing odds in terms of talent cultivation and other aspects。First,Consolidating basic bet365 horse racing odds。Basic bet365 horse racing odds not only determines the thickness of country bet365 horse racing odds,Also determines the breadth of country bet365 horse racing odds。The foundation of Australian studies is undoubtedly historical bet365 horse racing odds。In order to provide the necessary historical background and sufficient basic knowledge for the bet365 horse racing odds of other disciplines,Some weaknesses in Australian historical bet365 horse racing odds need to be strengthened,Some academic blind spots need to be filled。Second,Attach importance to the study of Australian economy (history) and politics (history)。These two bet365 horse racing odds areas have become relatively weak links in Australia’s overall bet365 horse racing odds。Economic (historical) bet365 horse racing odds should focus on Australia’s industrial policy、Industrial Structure、Carbon tax policy、Labor-management relations、Free Trade Agreement、Participate in bet365 horse racing odds on international market division of labor and regional economic governance;Political (history) bet365 horse racing odds should be biased towards Australian domestic political bet365 horse racing odds as a whole。Third,Strengthen discussions on some macro or important issues。For example, the myth of “Anzac” and its spiritual legacy、The Australian Republican Movement and its Prospects、Changes in relations between Australia and Pacific island countries, etc.。Fourth,Integrate academic bet365 horse racing odds and applied bet365 horse racing odds。One of the significant differences between regional and country bet365 horse racing odds in the context of regional and country studies and that in the context of traditional disciplines is that the former advocates the organic integration of academic bet365 horse racing odds and applied bet365 horse racing odds。This is to say,Academic bet365 horse racing odds needs to embed awareness of the times and openness,You cannot sit in a well and look at the sky or admire yourself in isolation,To keep pace with the times;Applied bet365 horse racing odds also requires historical thinking and academic thinking,Should be supported by academic bet365 horse racing odds,Don’t talk empty words,Don’t moan unnecessarily。Quick words,Academic bet365 horse racing odds and applied bet365 horse racing odds are not either/or、Mutually exclusive relationship,But mutual dependence、mutually reinforcing relationship。If the two are artificially separated,This is bound to return to the stereotype of regional and country studies in the context of traditional disciplines。I believe this is not a situation that the academic community wants to see。
