現(xiàn)代西方的中國學(xué)研究大致經(jīng)歷了兩個(gè)代際的變化。第一代是歷史主義流派，第二代是意識形態(tài)流派。當(dāng)代西方對中國的認(rèn)知，不論是學(xué)術(shù)界或大眾媒體，都深受這兩大代際流派的影響。
In the modern era, Chinese studies in the West have gone through two main generations: the generation of the historic school and the generation of the ideological school. Contemporary Western perceptions and understanding of China, in both the academic world and popular press, have been informed by the methods and aims of these two schools.

現(xiàn)代中國學(xué)研究的第一代，可以追溯到20世紀(jì)初。他們用歷史主義的語境研究中國，研究方法深受傳統(tǒng)文化影響，研究領(lǐng)域涵蓋了中國的政治、歷史、社會狀況和中國歷史上重要的領(lǐng)袖人物。
The first generation has guided the world’s understanding of China since the early 20th century. They seek to study China in a historical context. Their methods are deeply cultural. Their studies encompass China’s politics, historical and social conditions, and the personalities who drove China’s history.

中國學(xué)的第二代，始于1989年，在后冷戰(zhàn)時(shí)代的意識形態(tài)狂熱中誕生。這一時(shí)期的研究，陷入自由民主或?qū)Ｖ篇?dú)裁的意識形態(tài)兩元對立。在研究取向上，強(qiáng)調(diào)政治立場先行和意識形態(tài)掛帥，目的只有一個(gè)，即證明中國的政治制度必然崩潰?？上В@一代流派的研究一再被中國成功發(fā)展的事實(shí)證偽，備受質(zhì)疑。
The second generation materialized after 1989 in the context of the post Cold War ideological fervor. The entire school was defined by the ideological dichotomy between liberal democracy and authoritarianism. The aim of their studies carried an overtly political and ideological agenda - to prove the Chinese political system is on an inevitable course towards eventual collapse. This school has been largely discredited by facts on the ground and their impact on the future will be limited at best.

第三代中國學(xué)發(fā)端于新的形勢背景下，研究方法和取向都不同以往。這一代流派的演進(jìn)，將推動(dòng)中國學(xué)從基礎(chǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)上發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)型，并使世界對中國的認(rèn)知產(chǎn)生決定性影響。這對中國共產(chǎn)黨來說意義深遠(yuǎn)，作為中國政治治理模式的核心。
A third generation is emerging. This new generation is approaching China with new methods and different aims within different contexts. This development has placed the fundamental frameworks of Chinese studies in transition. How this evolves will have decisive impacts on the world’s interpretations of China.
?
最近幾十年來，中國全方位快速崛起，全球政治、歷史、經(jīng)濟(jì)研究的頂尖人士，紛紛聚焦中國，希望探究這一歷史重大事件的深遠(yuǎn)含義。這個(gè)群體不再象前兩代那樣限于中國通，而是來自各個(gè)領(lǐng)域。
With the dramatic rise of China in all aspects of its national power in recent decades, some of the brightest minds in political science, history, and economics are beginning to examine closely what it all really means. Many of them are no longer China experts but generalists.
?
一個(gè)趨向可以稱為實(shí)證派，即以收集客觀數(shù)據(jù)為基本研究方法，從歷史和現(xiàn)在的角度客觀分析中國的治理模式。
A much more interesting emerging trend is the empirical school. In this approach, the methods center around empirical data and the aim is the objective understanding of Chinese governance in both historic and contemporary contexts.
