中国边疆多为信仰、语言与文化不同的多民族的聚居地,不仅"守边、管边、控边"的分散性和涉外性明显,而且"固边、治边、富边"的复杂性和自治性突出.中国历史上有以夷制夷、羁縻州府、土司制度、改土归流、盟旗制、伯克制及屯田制等独特的边安经验,也有民族区域自治的丰富实践.然而,着眼于历史的逻辑、现实的语境及未来的图景,边安问题研究的缺失与边安政策的摇摆凸显了建构"边安学"的价值."边安学"是以边疆安全为研究对象、以探索边疆安全治理规律为主要内容的交叉性学科,其问题域是边疆安全治理,价值基点是"人的安全",理论范式是"和合主义",研究重点是边疆安全能力建设."边安学"将丰富边疆治理的内容、方法、途径与实效,使边安研究从零散、被动、经验化转向系统、主动、理论化.

An Opinion on the Development of "Frontier Security Studies"

China's frontier areas are regions inhabited by multiple ethnic groups with different religious beliefs , languages , and cultures . Therefore , not only is the decentralized and cross-national nature of″guarding the border , managing the border , and controlling the border″obvious , but the complexity and autonomy of″securing the border , governing the border , and enriching the border″are also evident and important . Historically , China had experience with several unique approaches to managing its frontier areas , which included :playing different foreign powers off one another;governing frontier regions with local officials and customs;centralizing control over frontier areas;employing a league and banner system;and garrisoning frontier areas with troops that produced their own food . At present , China is well experienced with self-governance in ethnic minority regions . Nevertheless , the deficiency of research on frontier security issues and the fluctuation of frontier security policies highlight the value of developing ″frontier security studies″.″Frontier security studies″are an interdisciplinary field that takes frontier security as its research object and the exploration of the patterns of frontier security governance as its main content . Its domain of inquiry is the governance of frontier security , its normative basis is″human security″;its theoretical mode is″peace-and-cooperation-ism″, and its research emphasis is capacity- building on frontier security governance . The development of ″frontier security studies″will enrich the contents , methods , and actual effectiveness of frontier security governance , and help frontier security researches make the transition from being scattered , passive , and experience-based to being systematic , proactive , and theoretical .
