课程简介(教工部数据)
本课程追溯了自1450年以来,从奥斯曼帝国征服君士坦丁堡到第一次世界大战结束这一历史时期欧洲殖民帝国向世界各地不断扩张的演变。19世纪末20世纪初,美国、日本迅速崛起,加剧了瓜分殖民地的斗争,资本主义世界殖民体系初步形成。课程旨在从全球历史和文化的角度出发,通过分析欧洲殖民扩张的复杂动机,包括政治、经济、心理、资源、国家利益、文化和意识形态输出,乃至所谓的“文明使命”种种因素互相作用和影响,深入探讨西方列强实施殖民统治的动因,殖民时代在全球范围内的扩张和影响。通过课程的学习,学生能够认识殖民主义和统治对土著居民的影响,以及对全球社会结构带来的深远后果,也能更好地理解当今世界格局、国际关系、大国博弈等深层问题。


This course traces the evolution of European expansion from 1450— roughly from the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople to the conclusion of World War I. We will try to understand the reasoning behind formal and informal colonization, from economic and political justifications to the “civilizing mission.” In this course, students will identify the causes and consequences of European, American and Japanese expansion. A solid historical and diplomatic background will help to situate colonial developments within a global context enhancing our knowledge of the metropole and the colonized as well. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, these European authorities were met with challenges from the rising empires of Japan and the United States. Responsible for the colonial impetus and its particular intensity is a complexity of ideological, economic, political, strategic, psychological, metropolitan and peripheral motives. Colonial expansion since its origins is a complicated phenomenon, a result of numerous events and quite often of irrational dispositions. Therefore, it cannot be described by a sole oversimplifying interpretation. Furthermore, every state acted, in accordance to its special needs and interests in a distinct way amidst the peripheral crises and global developments. Yet, since government policy is interchangeable and inconstant due to domestic pressures and political intentions and distinct in relation to every circumstance, the characterization of each states’ expansionistic tendencies cannot be attempted without the danger of overgeneralization. This course will shed light on a complex matter with the hope that understanding of the past can only improve our chances for a better future.
