族际居住隔离的普遍存在及其复杂的社会后果,使得这一社会现象逐渐成为西方国家学术研究和社会政策的重要议题之一。本文在对西方研究文献系统整理的基础上,对城市化进程中族际居住隔离的形成原因、社会后果、作用机制、政策干预以及存在的争议等问题进行全面概述。中国城市化进程中也面临着族际空间分化问题的严峻挑战,而西方的理论和实践经验无疑可以在一定程度上提供有益的借鉴。 The prevalence of inter-ethnic residence isolation and its complicated social consequences make this social phenomenon gradually become one of the important topics of academic research and social policy in western countries. On the basis of sorting out the western research literature system, this paper gives a comprehensive overview of the causes, social consequences, mechanism of action, policy intervention and existing disputes in the process of urbanization. The process of urbanization in China is also facing the severe challenge of the inter-ethnic space division, and Western theory and practical experience undoubtedly can provide useful reference to some extent.
