摘要
长期以来,区域国别研究与政治科学研究具有密切的联系.在区域国别研究成为一级学科的当下,政治科学与区域国别研究具有实现共同进步重要契机,而两学科研究方法的对话联通将起到重要作用.田野调查作为区域国别中的常用方法,可成为连接区域国别与政治科学的重要方法路径.但是传统田野研究方法由于案例数量少、信息类型单一、侧重内部效度等问题,其科学论证程度受到政治科学研究的质疑,甚至导致两个学科隔阂的产生.因此,本文尝试提出"混合田野调查路径"概念,试图将区域国别中常用的田野调查方法与政治科学研究方法中的假设检验、过程追踪、多重定位等思路相融合."混合田野调查法"可有效提高田野调查的论证效力,同时有助于区域国别研究与政治科学的协同效应进一步发挥.通过两个具体田野调查案例,本文阐释了"混合田野调查法"在实际中的应用.
Abstract
For a long time,area studies and polit-ical science have been closely related.Now that area studies has become a primary discipline,there is a signif-icant opportunity for mutual progress between political sci-ence and area studies.The dialogue and connection be-tween the research methods of these two disciplines will play a crucial role.Field research,a commonly used method in area studies,can serve as an important meth-odological bridge linking area studies and political science.However,traditional field research methods,due to issues such as the small number of cases,limited types of information,and an emphasis on internal valid-ity,have had their scientific rigor questioned by political science researchers,leading to a gap between the two disciplines.Therefore,the concept of a"mixed field re-search path"has been proposed,aiming to integrate commonly used field research methods in area studies with hypothesis testing,process tracing,multiple posi-tioning,and other techniques from political science re-search methods.The"mixed field research method"can effectively enhance the argumentative power of field re-search and foster further synergy between area studies and political science.Through two specific field research cases,this study demonstrates the practical application of the"mixed field research method".
