本文回顾了“中国”政治地理学的谱系，在一定程度上，它可被视为中国学术界政治地理学状况的一份国情报告。文章首先概述了中国政治地理学发展历程较短这一情况，相较于西方政治地理学较长的历史而言。审视中国现存的与政治地理学相关的研究，本文提出该领域存在一种二元性。一种学术流派被称为“外源性政治地理学”，它在很大程度上受西方学术影响，特别关注经典地缘政治学和地缘经济学的理论和词汇。另一种流派被称为“内源性政治地理学”，它涵盖丰富的主题，包括但不限于国家间关系、中央 - 地方关系以及君民关系的政治和地理视角。这种二元性对于理解中国当前政治地理学的状况很重要。然而，这种二元化的理解似乎削弱了中国政治地理学的全面性。在这方面，本文呼吁为中国的政治地理学制定一个更完整、综合和批判性的议程。
This paper reviews the genealogy of 'Chinese' political geography, which, to a certain extent, can be read as a national report of the status of political geography in Chinese scholarship. It begins by outlining the short duration of the development of political geography in China, compared to the longer history of western political geography. Looking at the extant studies related to political geography in China, this paper suggests an existence of a duality in this field. One strand of scholarship is termed 'exogenous political geography', which is largely influenced by western scholarship with a particular focus on theories and vocabularies from classical geopolitics and geo-economy. The other strand is termed as 'endogenous political geography', which covers rich topics, including, yet not limited to, political and geographical views of inter-state relationships, central-local relationships and emperor-people relationships. Such a duality is important for understanding the condition of current political geography in China. The dualised understanding, however, seems to have undermined the comprehensiveness of political geography in China. In this regard, this paper calls for a more complete, integrated and critical agenda for political geography in China.
