前近代时期的边疆地区,多被预设为一个恒定性的”边缘”范畴,然则进入近现代以来,伴随着经济现代化含义的植入,借由地理位置与社会发展的双重推动,边疆的范围已经具有变动性的特质。当前边疆省区在努力融入”一带一路”战略的过程中,大多充满”从边缘到中心”的情怀,试图以此摆脱边缘化的角色。不言而喻,”一带一路”战略为我们展现了一个重新思考边疆传统发展模式的新视域,即边疆地区从曾经的发展边缘地带,将经历一个”去边疆化”的进程,呈现出其开放、多元的一面,边疆议题越来越具有全国性乃至国际性意义,因此之故,边疆地位的重要性得以凸显,边疆省区已经成为中国当下最活跃的政治空间与经济地带,关乎国家发展大局。
English abstract
The borderland in pre-early modern period is mostly categorized into a homeostatic “border” but in early modern age,coupled with the introduction of economic modernization and driven by geographical location and social progress ,the feature of borderland scope becoming fluid. At present,the borderland regions are striving to integrate in “One Belt and One Road” strategy, most of which are full of feelings from margin to center and attempt to rid themselves of marginalization. It is self evident that “One Belt and One Road” strategy unfolds us a new vision to rethink traditional borderland development model, namely: once marginal belt for development to experience a process of de-marginalization, taking on liberal diversified pattern. The borderland issue is becoming more of national and international significance, thus the borderland status is highlighted; borderland region as the most active political and economic space that matters with national development.
