The research progress and prospect of marine geoeconomics
On the basis of putting forward the connotation of marine geoeconomics,this paper combs the development process,research hotspots and research priorities of Chinese scholars,summarizes the research characteristics and existing shortcomings of marine geoeconomics,and looks forward to the future research trends.(1)Marine geoeconomics derives from geoeconomics and marine geopolitics,and is influenced by geopolitics.The core theme of the study is the economic and trade linkages of sea related countries.(2)The evolution process of marine geoeconomics thought can be divided into four stages:the embryonic period of thought,the initial formation period,the rise and development period,and the steady exploration period.The hotspots of the research are from the germination of marine geo-thought which stays at the ideological level,to strategic thinking around the struggle for sea power,to the qualitative exploration under the system of geo-economic theory,and to the quantitative analysis which is becoming more diversified and clearer.(3)China's research focus mainly includes marine geo-economic theories,marine geo-economic activities,marine geo-economic relationship,marine strategic resources competition pattern,marine geoeconomic strategies,high seas protected areas,etc.(4)At present,the study of marine geoeconomics in China is still in its initial stage of exploration,and the relevant basic theoretical research and quantitative analysis from multi-scales and multi-perspectives are relatively lacking,and the disciplinary characteristics of geography and resource science have not been fully reflected.However,it has gradually attracted the attention of multidisciplinary scholars,and the research content shows a trend of diversification.In the future,it is necessary to strengthen the research on the theoretical paradigm and decision-making support of marine geoeconomics research,the development,utilization and protection of high seas resources and its spatial effect,the community of human maritime destiny and the sustainable development and utilization of international marine resources,the security of maritime transport channels and the resilience of port and shipping supply chain,and China's marine geoeconomic environment under the background of the construction of a maritime power.
