處於轉折點的世界：對國際關係學者的意涵

The World at a Turning Point: Implications for Scholars of International Relations

誠如本次研討會的主題，我們身處於「時代的轉折點」，德語稱之為Zeiten Wende，係指舊時代的結束，以及新時代的開端。對於我們這些對國際事務深感興趣的同好而言，無可否認，我們身邊幾乎每天都充斥著牽動事件發展的新資訊，而這些發展都可能對國際關係造成重大影響。

As the title of this conference suggests, we are at a moment that Germans describe as a“Zeiten Wende,”a term that literally means a turning point in time and that, therefore, implies the end of a previous era and the beginning of a new one.
