人文的和整体的历史：西方经济—社会史初论

经济一社会史的英原是“Economic and Social History”,所以准确的翻译应是“经济与社会史”或“经济—社会史”。经济—社会史研究在欧美各国历史学界和高校经历了几十年不同程度的发展,至今仍方兴未艾。现在,我们愿借此机会对经济-社会史的来源、发展现状和基本特征做一概要性的述评,以进一步推动和开拓我国的历史学研究领域。     

Systems and Boundaries in International History

The recent transnational, global, and cultural turns have challenged international historians to reconsider the approach, purpose, and value of their field. Although the new trends are beneficial to the extent that they challenge the premise that the nation-state should be the primary framework of historical inquiry, the boundaries of international history have expanded too far, and the cultural turn's preoccupation with national discourses at the expense of international structures and processes is diverting the field away from the analysis of the causes of war and the conditions of peace. The author argues that international history should distinguish itself from global and transnational history by drawing clear yet open disciplinary boundaries. Every field of inquiry needs some consensus about what it is, where it is going and why: in other words, an identity, purpose, and values. The author argues that what defines international history is its focus on the origins, structures, processes, and outcomes of international politics, above all the causes of war and the conditions of peace.
