【摘要】 研究型大学之“国际化”,在很大程度上来说是一个实践命题。当前,国际化战略已为诸多研究型大学颁布,然而关于在实施层面如何落实以推进大学发展,仍是摆在研究型大学面前的实际挑战。同时,世界上有若干研究型大学是位居国际型城市之中的,这一点亦是我国研究型大学普遍存在的区位现实。然而,我国学术界对这一领域的研究仍然存在诸多不足,这在一定程度上亦导致我们研究型大学国际化领域面临的重大挑战,表现在:已有的研究关注更多的是如何“鉴别”研究型大学国际化的研究,而对国际化的实施动态缺乏应有的理论关照,亦鲜有人将国际型城市置于国际化实施之区位进行过相关探讨。至于采用实证研究、田野调查和跨国比较分析等方法,则更为罕见。上述事实均在指向一个关键议题,即不仅是现实实践所面临的重大挑战,还是在理论上关于这一议题的欠缺,均凸显出对研究型大学国际化的深入研究之重要性,尤其是国际型城市中的研究型大学。有鉴于此,本研究以国际型城市中的研究型大学为研究对象,从实施之视角对英属哥伦比亚大学和华东师范大学这两所研究型大学进行深度考察。同时,考虑到其位居的区位温哥华和上海是社会公认的国际型城市之实然,亦对国际型城市对国际化实施之优势予以一定探讨。本研究的方法除了一般意义的理论研究、文本分析之外,还实施了大量的访谈、问卷和现场田野调查。每个访谈在征得受访者同意后进行了录音,且对100名留学国际型城市的人员之访谈内容进行了重点分析。此外,本研究亦有幸获得专家(教育学专家和城市学专家)当面访谈的机会,比如欧洲比较教育学会会长罗伯特·柯文(Robert Cowen)教授等。导论的“研究方法”对此做了较为翔实的说明。根据行文思路,研究内容分解为三大部分,即:国际型城市对于国际化实施之优势探讨,两大个案的国际化实施动态之重点解读,我国国际型城市中的研究型大学实施国际化之对策探讨。这三大部分构成了正文的三大篇。第一部分的“优势探讨篇”,主要探讨了国际型城市对研究型大学实施国际化的区位优势。研究发现,相较于非国际型城市,国际型城市中的研究型大学在一定程度上已经对留学人员产生了拉力效应,且这种拉力效应是基于留学人员对国际型城市的总体认识和具体理解之综合作用的结果,这部分的数据是立足于对国际型城市(上海、温哥华为主,兼顾其他国际型城市)留学人员的访谈录音文本之深度分析而得出的结论。第二部分的“作为探讨篇”,遴选了具有一定代表性的两所研究型大学(英属哥伦比亚大学和华东师范大学)为剖析对象予以解读。这两所研究型大学均位居国际型城市之中,且近些年来取得较为突出的国际化进展。本研究主要对其国际化实施动态展开了重点探讨,首先均介绍了学校制定的国际化战略文本,之后对学校实施国际化的行动举措予以重点解读,在每所大学的论述最后予以一定程度的小结与反思,最后在此基础上得出了比较性的结论,即:这两所大学在国际化实施过程中均在致力于对留学人员、本土学生、城市居民的支持性服务。这部分内容构成了论文的第三、四和五章。第三部分的“对策探讨篇”,结合当前我国研究型大学之实然,尝试为学校提供实施国际化之对策建议。对策的探讨重心是放在国际化实施方面,且兼顾了对国际型城市之考量。其中,第六章聚焦于实施的“思路和目标”,尝试回答国际型城市中的研究型大学国际化实施之“道”,即:需要追逐的理念是什么,需要服务的目标是什么。第七章进一步探讨了实施的“路径和技术”,尝试回答国际型城市中的研究型大学国际化实施之“路”,即:可行的路径是什么,具体的技术又是什么。这部分内容构成论文的第六章和第七章。

【Abstract】 Internationalization of the research University, to a large extent, is a practical issue. Despite of the fact that the strategy of internationalization has been adopted by many research universities, how to achieve it so as to promote further development still remains a big challenge. Among the research universities in the world, many of them are located in international city. This situation also applies to the research universities in China.However, this inviting field has not received due attention from scholars and researchers, and there are many deficiencies in the existing studies. These deficiencies, to some extent, also result in some problems that confront us. For example, the existing studies concerns more about how to identify the internationalization of the research university. Many of the studies on the implementation of internationalization lack a coherent theoretical framework. Moreover, very few studies take the international city into consideration when examining the approaches to carry out the strategy. Not surprisingly, study in this field which is based on empirical studies, field work and transnational comparative studies, is a very rare phenomenon.A survey of the existing studies suggests that a thorough study on the internationalization of research universities, especially those located in the international city is of great importance. Based on the status quo, this study will examine the research university located in international city, with University of British Columbia and East China Normal University as the case study. Considering the locations of these two universities, namely Vancouver and Shanghai, are generally acknowledged international cities, this study also explore the advantages of the research university located in international city in terms of the implementation of internationalization.Apart from theoretical studies and textual analysis, generally used by researchers, this study adopts many other research methods, such as interview, questionnaire, field work, etc. This study recorded interviews with all interviewees if permits. Besides, the researcher made a deep analysis of the recorded texts of one hundred international students studying in international city. It is worth mentioning that this study also benefits from a face-to-face interview with the renowned Prof. Robert Cowen, President of the European Association of Comparative Education. The part "research methods" in the "introduction" provides a detailed account in this aspect.This dissertation mainly comprises three parts:an examination of the advantages of international city in implementing internationalization of research universities, a detailed analysis of the internationalization of University of British Columbia and East China Normal University as the case study, and a discussion on the strategies that Chinese research universities located in international city may adopt. These three parts form the main body of this dissertation.Part One examines the advantages of international city in implementing internationalization strategy for the research university. According to the study, the research university located in international city, compared with those located in non-international city, already taken the role of "pulling the international students", with the results of their general understanding and specific understanding toward international city. Statistics in this part mainly focus on the recorded texts of international students studying in international city including Vancouver and Shanghai, two international cities, although some other international cities have also been taken into consideration.Part Two probes into the internationalization of two typical research universities, The University of British Columbia and East China Normal University, as the case study. To point out, these two research universities both exist in international city, great achievements revealed in the implementation of internationalization as well. This part begins with an introduction of the strategy of internationalization drawn by them, followed by a detailed analysis of their practical measures and ways. A brief summary is supplied at the end of the examination of each university. Based on the comparative study, this part arrives at the conclusion that both University of British Columbia and East China Normal University are dedicated to the supportive service for international students, local students, and local residents in the course of implementing internationalization. Part Two covers Chapter Three, Chapter Four and Chapter Five of this dissertation.Based on the actual condition of research universities in China, Part Three provides tentative solutions for universities. These suggestions include both general guidelines and feasible strategies. This consideration is based on but also goes beyond the case study of University of British Columbia and East China Normal University, for it has included exploration of other research universities. Part Three is composed of Chapter Six and Chapter Seven of this dissertation.
