复旦大学研究生院于2023年开始推出并资助学校一流学科的“研究生国际暑期学校”项目。复旦大学国际关系与公共事务学院作为首批院系，承办涵盖政治学、公共管理、国际关系、国家安全学、区域国别学交叉学科议题的研究生国际暑期讲习班。按照重大议题以及建设规划，本暑期班主题确定为“大变局与新秩序下的中国与世界”，建设期为十年。2025年度的专题为：全球南方与多样性的现代化路径

1. 课程简介

全球南方国家现代化进程所面临的一个共同问题是：这些国家19世纪以来的现代化是在一个发展极度不平衡的世界体系中展开的历史进程，是在世界市场霸权结构与大国地缘竞争的多重压力下展开的现代化。进入到20世纪，亚非拉新独立的国家更是在工业化的西方多重干涉与复杂影响下，谋求国家建设、社会发展以及国际平等地位的艰难进程。这个全球南方谋求平等与发展的进程直到今天仍在继续。

这种对平等与发展的追求是全方位的。它包含了不同国家、地区、人群、文明，在一个共同的理想驱动下，面对各自高度差异化的社会经济、地缘政治、文化传统的语境，对形式平等与实质平等的积极追求。如何将世界市场全球霸权影响与全球南方国家内部的政治、经济、社会、文化多样性结合起来，通过整体性梳理、比较与理论化，建设一个有机包含了全球南方历史与实践经验在内的，真正具有普遍性意义的现代化观念，这是本次暑期班希望提出的基本问题意识。

我们还希望将语境化、整体性的方法，将时间与空间的多重维度，以及强调语境中不同主体之间位置性关系的马克思主义视角重新纳入到对世界秩序变迁、国际发展、全球化进程的思考与研究中。并在这个基础上，进一步探讨全球南方国家如何在国际格局变迁的动态中，创造性地走出自主发展之路？中国在这一变化的世界格局中，所处的位置及其面向未来的历史责任是什么？又应当在怎样的整体性与普遍性关系中，理解中国自主知识体系的时代意义?

在此认识基础上，本年度的暑期班以“全球南方与现代化的多样性路径”为主题，围绕这一主题，暑期班集合了中外在这个问题上的领军学者，并特别注重来自“全球南方”学者的声音，尝试理解他们基于在地经验和跨文化实践对全球南方的认识。同时希望扩展对现代化问题的理解，从政治经济角度，讨论西方现代化的另一面——资本主义全球化秩序对环境、人文造成的压力，及其对全球，特别是全球南方国家造成的相关社会发展压力、环境问题以及贫困问题；以及反过来，全球南方国家针对这种压迫性结构，又如何反抗干涉、寻求主体性以及尝试联合等。除了对既有的西方现代化理论与范式进行反思和祛魅，更希望探索随着全球南方现代化的多样性路径展开，面向未来的人类发展可以生发出怎样的可能性。

Fudan University's Graduate School began launching and funding the 'Graduate International Summer School' program in 2023. The School of International Relations and Public Affairs at Fudan University, as one of the first departments to undertake this, hosted an international summer school for graduate students covering interdisciplinary topics in political science, public administration, international relations, national security studies, and regional studies. The theme of this summer school project is 'Major Changes and the New Order: China and the World,' with a planned duration of ten years. The focus for the year 2025 will be: The Global South and Diverse Pathways to Modernization

1. About This Year’s Theme

A common challenge in the modernization processes of Global South nations lies in their historical trajectory: since the 19th century, their modernization has unfolded within a profoundly unequal world system, navigating the dual pressures of hegemonic structures in the global market and great-power geopolitical competition. By the 20th century, newly independent nations across Asia, Africa, and Latin America further confronted the arduous task of state-building, social development, and pursuing equitable international status—all under the multifaceted interference and complex influence of industrialized Western powers. This struggle for equality and development within the Global South persists to this day.

The quest for equality and development is multidimensional. It encompasses diverse nations, regions, communities, and civilizations, united by a shared ideal yet operating within highly heterogeneous contexts shaped by socioeconomic conditions, geopolitical realities, and cultural traditions. This pursuit actively interrogates both formal equality (procedural justice) and substantive equality (material outcomes). A critical question emerges: How can we reconcile the global hegemony of the world market with the political, economic, social, and cultural diversity inherent to Global South nations? Through systematic analysis, comparative studies, and theoretical innovation, this summer program seeks to advance a truly universal conception of modernization—one that organically integrates the historical and practical experiences of the Global South.

We also seek to reintroduce a contextualized and methodologically collective approach—one that incorporates the multiple temporal and spatial dimensions, as well as a Marxist perspective that emphasizes the positional relationships among different actors within specific contexts—into the study of transformations in the world order, international development, and globalization. Building on this foundation, we further explore how Global South countries can creatively chart an independent path of development amidst the dynamic shifts in the international landscape. What is China’s position in this evolving global order, and what historical responsibilities does it bear for the future? Moreover, within what framework of holism and universality should we understand the contemporary significance of China’s ‘autonomous knowledge system’ (自主知识体系)?

Building on this understanding, this year’s summer program is themed “The Global South and Diverse Pathways to Modernization.” Centered on this theme, the program brings together leading scholars from both China and abroad, with a particular emphasis on voices from the Global South. It seeks to understand their perspectives on the Global South, grounded in local experiences and inter-cultural practices.

At the same time, the program aims to expand the understanding of modernization by examining it from a political and economic perspective. This includes discussing the often-overlooked aspects of Western modernization—namely, the pressures exerted by capitalist globalization on the environment and human societies, as well as its broader social, environmental, and poverty-related consequences, particularly for countries in the Global South. Conversely, it also explores how these countries resist external interference, assert their agency, and seek solidarity in response to these oppressive structures.

Beyond critically reassessing and demystifying existing Western modernization theories and paradigms, the program aspires to explore the future possibilities for human development that may emerge as the diverse pathways of modernization in the Global South continue to unfold.

Requirements: Applicants must be proficient in both Chinese and English. The program is open to master's and doctoral students, as well as early-career scholars from universities in China and abroad. Preference will be given to those with academic backgrounds in international relations, international political economy, area studies, or political science.
