英文摘要 |
The Graduate Institute of East Asian Studies at Chengchi University was founded in 1986. As Mainland China posed a considerable threat to Taiwan in the Cold War, the government of Taiwan found it necessary to establish the institute for the cultivation of professionals able to compile and analyze information on Mainland China. After the end of the Cold War, the Institute of East Asian Studies began a shift toward scholarly research in response to both the cessation of these needs and changes in Taiwan’s higher education. In the fifty years of its development, China studies at the institute have moved to and from area and discipline-based studies. This study aims to discuss the content and nature of academic papers submitted by the institute’s academic community to three distinguished periodicals: The China Quarterly, the China Journal, and the Journal of Contemporary China. In addition, this study aims to discuss how the institute deals with challenges in its academic development. |
