“地方军事化”这一概念由美国学者孔飞力在20世纪60年代率先在讨论社会结构中使用。这对于中国近代史的研究者来说不失为一个更好地考察近代社会变迁特殊性的坐标。文章以此为出发点,对于地方军事化的典型个案刘长佑作一考察。主要对他的军事建树、他在晚清地方军事化过程中的作用以及反映了何种政治现象三方面作了探讨。 The concept of “local militarization” was first used by the American scholar Kong Fei Li in discussing social structures in the 1960s. This is a good reference for investigators of modern Chinese history to examine the particularities of the changes in modern society. Taking this as a starting point, Liu Changyou made a study on a typical case of militarization in the region. Mainly on his military achievements, his militarization in the late Qing Dynasty, the role of the process and reflect what kind of political phenomenon were discussed.
