Abstract: Comparative regionalism represents a new development of the theory of regionalism, a new way for international relations researchers to participate in international and area studies, and a new opportunity for establishing the Chinese School of regionalism. Based on Western and nonWestern theories and practices, this paper interprets the generative logic of comparative regionalism. And by comparing the concepts of “region” and “area”, it clarifies the research objects of comparative regionalism, and introduces its research methods. It argues that qualitative and quantitative comparative analyses can play an important role in future research. More importantly, this paper analyzes literature using the concept of guanxi based on the Chinese culture to interpret ASEAN and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. It proposes to compare the difference between the conception underlying the Belt and Road Initiative and Western regionalism, and theorize China's regional practice from the perspective of comparative regionalism, in order to incorporate the Chinese view into regionalism. Comparative regionalism advocates for the integration of theory and method, and theory and practice, and will provide a new approach to international and area studies.

Key words: comparative regionalism, regionalism, international and area studies, Belt and Road Initiative

摘要： 比较地区主义是地区主义理论新进展，国际关系学者参与区域国别研究新途径，构建中国学派的地区主义理论新机遇。本文立足于西方和非西方的理论与实践，解读比较地区主义的生成逻辑，通过对比地区和区域概念，明确比较地区主义的研究对象，介绍比较地区主义的研究方法，指出定量和定性比较具有广泛的应用前景。更为重要的是，本文梳理了基于中国文化提炼出的关系思维解读东盟和上海合作组织的文献，主张立足比较地区主义，对比“一带一路”倡议秉承理念与西方地区主义的差异，理论化中国的地区实践，达到将中国的视角植入地区主义的目的。比较地区主义倡导理论与方法、理论与实践相结合，将为区域国别研究提供新思路。
