NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute (EAPSI) for FY 2013 in China

这项行动资助了科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的伊恩·罗文（Ian Rowen）于2013年夏天在中国上海复旦大学开展一个社会、行为和经济科学领域的研究项目。项目名称为“大中华区旅游与州域”。主持人是郭英志。2011年，超过100万中国游客到访台湾，尽管中国继续向台湾发射1000多枚弹道导弹。这标志着深刻的地区变化，在经历了数十年的紧张局势和旅行禁令后，从2008年开始，大陆游客只能直接前往台湾。本民族志研究计划以旅游业为视角，分析中华人民共和国与台湾之间的空间政治，并探讨旅游业与国家属地之间的关系。对台湾旅游业的研究，揭示了中国出境旅游市场快速发展的政治和文化影响。到2019年，中国出境旅游市场预计将超过1亿人次，很快将成为世界上最大的出境旅游市场。此外，本项目的理论框架将旅游实践带入到关于国家权力和空间实践的更大讨论中。EAPSI奖学金的广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；介绍该地区的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施；以及对社会、文化和语言的了解。这些活动符合美国国家科学基金会的目标，即在其科学家、工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期培养国际合作，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。此外，该研究员还将向复旦大学的同事介绍其研究成果，并在调查和其他研究工具方面进行合作。

This action funds Ian Rowen of the University of Colorado, Boulder to conduct a research project in the Social, Behavioral and Economic sciences area during the summer of 2013 at Fudan University in Shanghai, China. The project title is "Tourism and State Territory in 'Greater China.'" The host scientist is Yingzhi Guo.How is tourism reconfiguring "Greater China," and in particular, relations between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan? Over 1 million Chinese tourists visited Taiwan in 2011, even though the PRC continues to point over 1000 ballistic missiles at what it considers a breakaway province. This marks a profound regional change, with direct tour arrivals from China only permitted to arrive in Taiwan starting in 2008 after decades of tension and travel bans. This ethnographic research project uses tourism as a lens to analyze spatial politics between the PRC and Taiwan, and to explore the relationship between tourism and state territoriality in general. Examining tourism in Taiwan sheds light on the political and cultural implications of the rapid development of China's outbound tourist market, soon to be the world's largest, with over 100 million annual visits overseas projected by 2019. Additionally, this project's theoretical framework brings tourism practice into larger discussions about state power and spatial practice. Broader impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce. Furthermore, the Fellow will present the research to his associates at Fudan University, and collaborate on surveys and other research tools.
