布罗代尔的“经济世界”与沃勒斯坦的“世界经济”

赖国栋

提 要：法国史家布罗代尔在《菲利普二世时代的地中海与地中海世界》一书中阐明了“经济世界”概念的内涵和外延，它们对世界经济体系理论产生了重要影响。美国史家沃勒斯坦则在其“世界经济”理论中重点揭示了世界经济与资本主义的相伴相生关系。本文认为，两位学者的论说在观念上的差异体现在一与多之争，以及看待市场、国家与资本主义的关系等问题的分歧上，同时指出，历史比较研究不仅对于理解世界历史进程有着重要的意义，还有利于深入理解当代全球化中民族经济的作用。

Abstract：French

historian Fernand Braudel clarified the concept of “economic

world” in his book Mediterranean, which brought significant

impacts on the theoretical thinking of the world economy. On

the other hand, American scholar Wallerstein, in his theory,

especially stressed the close relation of capitalism with

the system of world economy. This paper argues that the

differences between the two historians are mainly reflected

in the aspects such as unity or diversity, the relationship

of market with nation states, and the connection of state

with capitalism. This paper also highlights the importance

of historical comparison to the understanding of world

history and the understanding of the role of national

economy within today’s trend of globalization.

Key words:Economy-world
