Reflection and Reconstruction of the Study of Diplomatic Figures in the Republic of China (Abstract)

 

Huang Renguo

 

Since the 21st century, influenced by the changes in realistic diplomatic issues and international academic trends, the study of diplomatic figures in the Republic of China has undergone a significant transformation. Though this has broadened the scope of research, it also has tended to deviate from the core of political history, and thus it has gradually exhibited a lack of momentum. Constructing a multi-level and multi-dimensional dynamic research framework centered on political history, one that seeks reality, truth and goodness while being practical, to cross the “chasm” of existing political history studies, could be a worthwhile approach to breaking through the bottleneck of the study of diplomatic figures in the Republic of China.
