Yang Dan gave a special report titled "Learning from Great Countries, Learning from Universities, and Learning from Beijing Foreign Studies University—Building a New Pattern for the Development of Regional and National Studies".

Yang Dan discussed the current domestic and international environment, national strategies, discipline background, as well as Beijing Foreign Studies University’s school history, professional advantages, and development plans, as well as why we should build regional and national studies, the challenges faced by the construction of regional and national studies, and how to build a world-class, From three aspects, including regional and national studies with Chinese characteristics and Beijing Foreign Studies University’s characteristics, a comprehensive analysis and deployment of the new development pattern of regional and national studies at Beijing Foreign Studies University under the new situation were carried out. He pointed out that thinking about “what kind of regional and national studies are needed for Chinese-style modernization” and “how to build a world-class regional and national studies with Chinese characteristics” is the mission of BFSU people. The times call for regional and national studies with Chinese characteristics to bring new values ​​to the harmonious coexistence of mankind. Beijing Foreign Studies University should strive to grasp the pulse of the times, take advantage of opportunities to open up new areas and new tracks for school development, and create new advantages and new momentum.

Yang Dan elaborated on the importance of the construction of regional and national studies from the three perspectives of "learning from a great country, learning from a university, and learning from Beijing Foreign Studies University". First of all, regional and country studies are “the study of great powers.” As China's participation in global governance accelerates, building the young discipline of regional and country studies has become an integral part of my country's participation in global governance and the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. It is not only a "stand-up" intellectual innovation in China's plan, but also an important academic support for the rise of a great power. Secondly, regional and country studies are “university studies”. Regional and national studies combines the common features of political science, history, foreign languages ​​and literature, economics and other disciplines, and has its own personality as an interdisciplinary subject, testing the academic, governance and service capabilities of the university. It has not only achieved platform transcendence from regional country studies to regional country studies, but also achieved value transcendence from serving world hegemony to serving the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, and resource integration transcendence from integrating disciplinary resources to integrating global resources. Furthermore, regional and country studies are “Beiwai Studies.” Regional and national studies have built a ladder for Beijing Foreign Studies University to move from extensive nationalization to deep globalization. Beijing Foreign Studies University is determined to seize the strategic growth points of the "three countries" disciplines of "regional countries, international communication, and international organizations", realize the "strong alliance" of languages ​​​​and majors, and promote the formation of a Chinese view of the world, a Chinese world view, and a future global view. , shaping a new pattern of development of related disciplines.

Yang Dan made a profound analysis of the challenges faced by the construction of regional and national studies in China. From a national level, the current regional and national studies still lack a solid disciplinary foundation and rich comprehensive talents. They are faced with the contradiction between traditional academic training and economic and economic capabilities. They urgently need to build joint disciplines, joint talent training, and joint Scientific research, joint social services, joint The "five major alliances" of international cooperation achieve the "five-degree integration" of global coverage, long-term research depth, discipline integration intensity, demand response speed, and cross-verification accuracy, and effectively utilize existing resources, share and use unique resources, and develop and utilize unavailable resources. , to break the bottleneck of subject development. From the university level, many universities are faced with common conflicts between limited resources and unlimited possibilities, stable input and diminishing marginal output, capacity building within the school and cross-school alliances in the development process, which are difficult to effectively resolve. From the perspective of Beijing Foreign Studies University, although the school has advantages in language, global network and geography, and has unique conditions and capabilities, it still has shortcomings in terms of subject resource support, methodological foundation and scientific talent training system. Under the background of the construction of new liberal arts, the cross-disciplinary integration of Beijing Foreign Studies University needs to be further deepened to achieve the ultimate goal of "building an open, shared, and efficient communication and collaboration platform for regional and national studies, carrying out organized scientific research, and improving the collaborative research capabilities of universities" to help Development of regional and national disciplines in China.

Yang Dan comprehensively discussed how to build a world-class regional and national study with Chinese characteristics and Beijing Foreign Studies University's characteristics based on the actual situation of Beijing Foreign Studies University. Beijing Foreign Studies University should focus on the joint efforts and coordinated advancement of the three strategic growth points of regional countries, international organizations, and international communication to build a regional country-level study center with "strong points, connections, expansion, networking, and three-dimensionality" Study development pattern. “Strong points” aim to seize strategic opportunities. It is necessary to strengthen interaction and collaboration among colleges, promote the construction of high-level talent teams in regional countries, and enhance regional and national research capabilities. "Connect" aims to deepen school-level cooperation. It is necessary to strengthen the linkage of disciplines within the school and deepen international and domestic cross-school cooperation. “Expansion” aims to bring together resources from multiple sources. It is necessary to deepen cooperation with ministries, international organizations, enterprises and other parties. "Network" aims to achieve high-level leadership. It is necessary to help build regional and national scholar networks and social service networks. "Three-dimensional" aims at double breakthroughs in resources and reputation. It is necessary to integrate multi-dimensional resources and build a new ecology for the construction of "new liberal arts" disciplines. Through "strong points, connections, expansion, networking, and three-dimensionality", we will ultimately promote the construction of regional and national studies that serve China-style modernization, open up a new track and add new impetus to the development of Beijing Foreign Studies University.
