关于我国区域经济地理学和区域经济学融合发展的思考

区域经济地理学与区域经济学是地理科学与经济科学在解决"经济区域(系统)"的发展问题过程中交叉发展的产物。区域经济地理学是一门古老而年轻的学科,区域经济学则是二战后形成的新兴学科,但两门学科有着共同的思想发展特点,与区位论的发展紧密相联,与区域问题相伴而生,并随着相关学科的发展而越发具有生命力。20世纪80年代以来,尽管在思维方法、研究侧面、学科层次等方面仍存在较大差异,但两门学科在研究内容和理论框架上越来越靠拢,在学科性质上也日益走向融合。

VIEWPOINTS ON THE BLENDING DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY AND REGIONAL ECONOMICS IN CHINA

Regional economic geography and regional economics are the offspring in the process of geographical science and economic science,developing crosswise in resolving developmental problems of economic region(economic regional system) in China.Regional economics in China,born of geographical system,has basically formed theories and thoughts that match with economic lives in China.Since 1980s,two courses are getting conciliatory in nature day by day. Looking into the developmental characteristics of regional economic geography and regional economics,we can find that the two courses were deeply affected by locational theory.They were all put into application fields by regional problems in different periods.And they are also facing common challenges in China. Regional economics develops by resolving concrete regional problems.Otherwise,economic geography,which emphasizing that space and current human society should be a "community" in the fields of history,society,politics and culture,has made great progresses in the studies of regional growth mechanism,new industry geography,regionalization,globalization and localization etc.Therefore,two courses are getting more and more closer in contents and academic frame,and they have common missions in the construction of theoretic frame and other fields in China. The conciliatoriness of two courses in nature is as followings:(economic region(economic regional system) is the common end-result of two courses.(both of them serve for regional economic development.(the development blending in harmony can make them more popular and become "useful sciences".
