Research on the Urban Modernization of the Treaty Ports in China

摘要:

立足学术背景源流，考察近百年来通商口岸城市近代化发展的研究趋势，揭示通商口岸研究从20世纪上半叶兴起至今在国内共经历两次热潮，在国际先后受到“冲击-回应模式”“中国中心观”“超越上海”等理论影响，并展现出从史志纂修到系统研究，从城市表象到内在机理，从历史研究到多方视角等特性。

Abstract:

This study draws on academic background and origins to examine research trends in the urban modernization of treaty ports over the past century. It reveals that research on treaty ports in China has undergone two significant waves of interest since its emergence in the first half of the 20th century. Internationally, this research has been shaped by theories such as the ‘impact-response model’, the ‘China-centered approach’, and the ‘Beyond Shanghai’ paradigm. The research has also evolved from historical compilation to systematic study, from focusing on urban phenomena to exploring internal mechanisms, and from historical research to incorporating multiple perspectives.
