地缘环境研究的本体论、认识论和方法论
Ontology, Epistemology and Methodology of Geo-Setting Studies

地缘环境研究是中国地缘政治学近十余年来取得实质较大发展的一个重要研究领域，被认为是复兴中国地缘政治学，开展中国独立自主研究地缘政治学的重要标志。本文在已有理论与案例研究基础上总结分析地缘环境研究的本体论、认识论和方法论，并得出以下结论：(1) 地缘环境是行为体所在地理环境及其所决定的地缘关系和地缘结构的集合，它由地理环境、地缘关系和地缘结构组成。它的学理基础包括地缘政治学、国际关系学、地理学、历史学、社会学和经济学等。(2) 国内学者对于地缘环境已开展过较为丰富的研究，包括国别、地区地缘环境解析，海洋地缘环境解析，以及以地缘环境为视角解析国内外地缘政治问题等。(3) 地缘环境分析路径为跨尺度耦合、跨领域互动和多元地缘体博弈分析。
Geo-setting research is an important field of study in which Chinese geopolitics has made substantial development over the past decade or so and was once considered an important symbol of the revival of Chinese geopolitics and the development of China’s independent research on geopolitics. This paper summarises and analyses the ontology, epistemology, and methodology of geo-setting research on the basis of existing theories and case studies, and draws the following conclusions: (1) The geo-setting is a collection of geographic environments in which actors are located and their determined geo-relationships and geo-structures, and it is made up of geographic environments, geo-relationships, and geo-structures. Its doctrinal basis includes geopolitics, international relations, geography, history, sociology, and economics. (2) Domestic scholars have carried out rich research on geo-setting, including analysis of national and regional geo-setting, analysis of marine geo-setting, and analysis of domestic and international geopolitical issues from the perspective of geo-setting. (3) The path of geo-setting analysis is cross-scale coupling, cross-field interaction, and multiple geopolitical game analysis.
