Australia is an influential country in the Asia -Pacific region,Sino -Australian relations are an important group of bilateral relations in the Asia -Pacific region,Therefore,Australia Studies have attracted much attention from the domestic academic community。November 2023,Australian Prime Minister Albanis invited to visit China,Relations between the two countries stabilize and recover。This move also helps to promote exchanges and cooperation between the academic circles of the two countries。For this,Our reporter interviewed the president of the Oceania Research Branch of the Chinese Asia -Pacific Society、Professor Wang Shiming at the School of Political and International Relations of East China Normal University,Comment on domestic Australia research situation。

Wang Shiming:In the context of traditional disciplines,Australian research does not have an exact definition,Of course, there is no necessity for academic discussions to define the connotation of Australian research。The birth of the country's country,It provides a overall discipline structure and clear cognitive ideas for clarifying the border of Australia and explaining its research connotation。Since all -round research is the main purpose of regional national learning,So Australian research must not only investigate its politics and laws、Economy and Society、Diplomacy and Defense,Also study its history and geography、Turkey and humanity、Language and Culture、Health and Health, etc.。but,What needs to be clarified is,Comprehensive research does not mean that everything must be studied,Study everything is not only necessary,It is impossible to do it。For example,Research on some extreme "fragmented",Although it provides a certain knowledge,But it has a knowledge system that is studied in the construction area of ​​the area、The disciplinary system and the talent training system are not related。Recognize this,The continuous advancement of regional countries or the healthy development of regional countries is meaningful。

  "China Social Sciences": more than forty years of reform and opening up,Academic circles have given due attention to Australian research,Related research has a certain academic accumulation。So,What is the current status of domestic Australian research?

Wang Shiming:I talk about this problem from two aspects。On the one hand, it is a progress made by Australia research。2,The research team is constantly growing。From a few people in the early days of reform and opening up to now a considerable research camp,This is one of the main manifestations of Australian studies' significant progress。2,Research institutions bloom everywhere。So far,Nearly 40 Australian Research Center in the country。In addition,There are also some research institutions named "Oceania", "South Pacific" and "Pacific"。In these regional research institutions,Australia becomes an important branch or research object。third,Various research results are endless。Past,Australian research results are small and the form is relatively single; now the number of results is increasing and diverse,Show academic theory、Think Tank Report、Development report and current affairs comments that go hand in hand。Fourth,Academic exchanges enter the mechanism -based orbit。The first Australian Academic Symposium opened in 1988,It was held every two years after it was held。The First Oceania Seminar was held in 2018,Since then held a regular meeting every year。Except the above two national academic seminars,There are also some research institutions to hold various special seminars or academic workshops for regularly or irregularly。

On the other hand, the shortcomings exist in Australian research。2,Distribution of research strength。Among the domestic Australian research team,More than half of it is associated with literature research,There are fewer researchers in other fields。If this phenomenon continues,Obviously not conducive to the comprehensive spread of Australian research and the improvement of overall research level。2,Underestimal in the research field。Look at the four main disciplines covered by the nations of the regional country to look at,Literary Studies、Historical research has gone in front of other disciplines; economic research has a period of dazzling performance,But in recent years, it has been going downhill; political research (hereinafter means research on Australian domestic politics) has not yet formed an academic camp; research in other fields is basically in a state of being ignored。

  "China Social Sciences": The construction and development of any discipline cannot be separated from the pursuit of methodology。Please talk about the meaning of methodology in Australia。

Wang Shiming:First of all, what I want to say is,Methodism is not a priority existence,It comes from practice,Derived from the inspection and meticulous thinking of the object of recognition,It is a path for finding problems and solving problems。Methodology Various ways,Some research methods are beaten on the mark of a certain discipline,But it does not mean that it is only applicable to this discipline。

Regional Guoxue is a cross -disciplinary discipline,It is another new subject,Therefore,Methodism of the country's national learning will inevitably present multiple disciplines、Multi -dimensional、Multi -mode state and other features。Current,The research methods of the academic world have been widely discussed on the regional countries' other research methods,"Research on Local Research" and "Discipline Research" is highly respected。These two methods are so popular,It is related to the unique attributes of the discipline of the regional Guobo。Take Australia research as an example,If you want to study indigenous issues or immigration problems,Only literature analysis is obviously inadequate,Need the blessing of other research methods,For example, research。On -site inspection of the local area,Communicate with locals face to face,Docking history with reality,Not only can it confirm the accuracy of historical documents to a certain extent,And the scope of research and rich research。If you want to inspect the Australian "White and Australia Policy",Interdisciplinary research is a good choice。History can sort out the ins and outs of this policy; economics can reveal the economic motivation behind the implementation of this Bet365 lotto review policy; political science can analyze the race that affects this policy、Culture and party factors; literature can provide some valuable case analysis and language reference; so, etc.。

Of course,Any research method is related to its specific research object,Change the research object,This method may not be used to use。Any research object has a dominant research method,Other research methods can only play a role in helping or icing on the cake。Therefore,The choice of methodology must start from actual,Taking the problem as the criterion,Do not move a hard suit or cut the foot to perform。This is the scientific problem of the methodology mentioned by Engels。

  "China Social Sciences": Current,In what aspects of Australian research need?

Wang Shiming:Regional Guoxue provides rare opportunities for Australian research,It also brought some new challenges。The academic community needs to face up to its own deficiencies,Construction from the subject、Professional construction、Research system refinement、Talent training and other aspects to plan the future development direction of Australian research。2,Consolidate basic research。Basic research not only determines the thickness of the country's research,also determines the breadth of the country's research。The foundation of Australia research is undoubtedly historical research。In order to provide the necessary historical background and sufficient basic knowledge for the study of other disciplines,Some of the weaknesses in Australian history research are necessary to be strengthened,Some academic blind spots are necessary to fill in。2,Pay attention to the study of the Australian economy (history) and political (history)。These two research areas have become a weaker link in Australia's overall research。Economic (History) Studies should pay attention to the industrial policy of Australia、Industrial structure、Carbon Tax Policy、Free Trade Agreement、Free Trade Agreement、Participate in the research on the division of labor and regional economic governance; political (history) research should be biased towards Australia's domestic political research。third,Strengthen the discussion on some macro or some issues that have important influence。For example, the myth and spiritual heritage of "Australia and New Legion"、Australian Republican Movement and its prospects、Change of relations between Australia and Pacific Island countries。Fourth,Organic combination of academic research and application research。One of the significant distinctions between regional countries in the regional country in the regional country is a significant distinction between the background of traditional disciplines.。This means,Academic research needs to embed the consciousness and open consciousness of the times,Can't sit in the well to watch the sky or lonely,To keep pace with the times; application research also requires historical thinking and academic thinking,Support for academic research,Not to moan without disease,Not to moan without disease。Speech,Academic Research and Application Research is not this that is the other、A relationship with mutual exclusion,but mutual dependence、The relationship between mutual promotion。If artificially split the two,This will inevitably return to the regional country under the traditional science state research。I believe this is not the situation that the academic community wants to see。
