Accelerating the Construction of an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Political Science

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “To accelerate the construction of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics is, in the final analysis, to construct an independent knowledge system for China.” Political science is an important component of philosophy and social sciences, and constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science is a necessary part of developing philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward a series of new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies in advancing China’s political construction and national governance. These new concepts and measures have driven continuous innovation in Chinese political science research and have given rise to many original and iconic concepts in Chinese political science. At present, changes unseen in a century are accelerating globally, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period. Facing the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times, the Chinese political science community urgently needs to carry forward the historical initiative, accelerate the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science, provide theoretical support for interpreting “China’s governance” and unswervingly following the political development path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese strength to global governance.

习近平总书记强调，“加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学，归根结底是建构中国自主的知识体系”。政治学是哲学社会科学的重要组成部分，构建中国政治学自主知识体系是发展中国特色哲学社会科学的应有之义。党的十八大以来，习近平总书记在推进我国政治建设与国家治理中，提出了一系列新理念新思想新战略。这些新的理念与举措推动了中国政治学界的研究不断创新，并形成了中国政治学的诸多原创性、标识性概念。当前，世界百年未有之大变局加速演进，中华民族伟大复兴进入关键时期。面对中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问，中国政治学界亟须发扬历史主动精神，加快构建中国政治学自主知识体系，为解读“中国之治”、坚定不移走中国特色社会主义政治发展道路提供学理支撑，为全球治理贡献中国智慧和中国力量。

Political science research concerns important issues from the macro to the micro level in the modernization of national governance, and thus is tied to the practical process of Chinese-path modernization. To construct a political science knowledge system that both conforms to the general laws of social science and possesses Chinese characteristics, it is necessary to clarify the scope of research, improve the logic of research, highlight the focus of research, adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, persist in serving Chinese-path modernization, uphold the working method of systematic integration, and enhance the ability to address major issues in the process of modernizing the national governance system and governance capacity while maintaining characteristics and drawing on lessons from others.

政治学研究事关国家治理现代化从宏观到微观的重要问题，进而牵系中国式现代化实践进程。构建既符合社会科学一般规律又具有中国特色的政治学知识体系，需要明晰研究范畴、完善研究逻辑、突出研究重点，坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，坚持服务中国式现代化，坚持系统集成的工作方法，在坚持特色和吸收借鉴中提升解决国家治理体系和治理能力现代化进程中重大问题的能力。

Adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. To accelerate the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science, it is necessary to adhere to the guidance

坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导。加快构建中国政治学自主知识体系，必须坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，保证政治学研究发展的正确方向。党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央围绕新时代中国特色社会主义政治建设这一重大现实课题，提出了坚持以人民为中心的发展思想、发展全过程人民民主等一系列重要思想观点，作出了全面推进依法治国的重大战略部署，集中体现了我们党对社会主义政治建设规律认识的深化和拓展。构建中国政治学自主知识体系，必须深入理解把握习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想蕴含的重大判断与理论概括，以习近平总书记关于社会主义民主政治建设的重要论述为根本遵循，运用贯穿其中的马克思主义世界观方法论和立场观点方法，正本清源、守正创新，不断实现马克思主义政治学的丰富和发展。

Adhere to serving Chinese-path modernization. The vitality of theory comes from practice, and the value of theory lies in guiding practice. In the leapfrog development from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society and information society, Chinese-path modernization has taken a path markedly different from Western modernization, urgently requiring an independent political science knowledge system to explain and provide support. At the same time, the success of Chinese-path modernization has also greatly promoted the innovation and development of Chinese political science theory. The goal of serving Chinese-path modernization determines the direction and focus of theoretical innovation in Chinese political science. To construct an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science, it is necessary to insist on placing China's national governance theory and whole-process people's democracy in a prominent position, theoretically explaining the code of "China's governance," responding to new problems and challenges faced by China's national governance and democratic construction, and effectively increasing the contribution rate of the political science knowledge system to national governance and democratic construction. It is necessary to insist on capturing major practical issues with a keen eye, testing the knowledge categories and theoretical viewpoints of political science in the process of democratic construction and governance practice. Using scientific thinking, summarize and refine the practical issues of democratic construction and governance from various regions of our country into major theoretical issues, sublimate rational understanding from the practical experience of democratic construction and governance in various regions, achieve a positive interaction between theory and practice, and use the important breakthroughs and scientific application of the political science knowledge system to promote better results in national governance and whole-process people's democracy.

坚持服务中国式现代化。理论的生命力来自实践，理论的价值在于指导实践。在从传统农业社会向现代工业社会与信息社会迈进的跨越式发展中，中国式现代化走出了一条与西方现代化迥异的道路，迫切需要自主的政治学知识体系加以阐释与提供支撑。同时，中国式现代化的成功也极大地推动了中国政治学理论的创新与发展。服务中国式现代化的目标追求，决定了中国政治学理论创新的方向和重点。构建中国政治学自主知识体系，必须坚持把中国国家治理理论与全过程人民民主摆在突出位置，从理论上阐释“中国之治”的密码，回应中国国家治理与民主建设面临的新问题新挑战，切实提高政治学知识体系对国家治理与民主建设的贡献率。必须坚持以敏锐的眼光捕捉重大现实问题，将政治学的知识范畴和理论观点置于民主建设与治理实践过程中来检验。以科学的思维将我国各地民主建设与治理实践问题总结提炼为重大理论问题，从各地的民主建设与治理实践经验中升华理性认识，实现理论与实践的良性互动，以政治学知识体系的重要突破和科学运用推动国家治理与全过程人民民主取得更好成效。

Adhere to the method of systematic integration. Systematic integration is an important working method emphasized by General Secretary Xi Jinping in his explanation of the drafting of the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization" at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "comprehensively deepening reform involves the overall work of the Party and the state, involves various fields of economic and social development, and involves many major theoretical and practical issues; it is a complex systematic project," and that "reform should pay more attention to systematic integration, adhere to planning and promoting with an overall concept and systematic thinking, strengthen the coordination and matching of various reform measures, promote reform measures in various fields and aspects to work in the same direction and form synergy, and enhance overall effectiveness." The construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science is also a complex systematic project, because it includes the construction of the political science disciplinary system, academic system, discourse system, and textbook system. These four systems constitute an organic whole, both interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Among them, the political science textbook system originates from the consensus results formed by the academic system; the development of the political science disciplinary system promotes the development of the academic system and is the fundamental support for the academic system and discourse system; the discourse system is rooted in the academic system, is the expression form of the academic system, directly affects the acceptance of academic achievements, and academic innovation drives discourse innovation. The level and attributes of political science academic research ultimately determine the level and attributes of the discourse system. The independent knowledge system of political science is the overarching goal. To construct a good independent knowledge system for Chinese political science, it is necessary to fully apply the fundamental working method of systematic integration, coordinate and promote the construction of the disciplinary system, academic system, discourse system, and textbook system, not neglect any aspect of the work, and must form synergy and improve overall effectiveness in the construction work.

坚持系统集成的方法。系统集成是习近平总书记在党的二十届三中全会上就《中共中央关于进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的决定》起草情况所作说明中强调的重要工作方法。习近平总书记强调，“全面深化改革涉及党和国家工作全局，涉及经济社会发展各领域，涉及许多重大理论问题和实际问题，是一个复杂的系统工程”，“改革要更加注重系统集成，坚持以全局观念和系统思维谋划推进，加强各项改革举措的协调配套，推动各领域各方面改革举措同向发力、形成合力，增强整体效能”。中国政治学自主知识体系的构建也是一个复杂的系统工程，因为它包含政治学学科体系、学术体系、话语体系、教材体系等方面的建设工作。这四个体系构成一个有机整体，既相互联系，又相辅相成。其中，政治学教材体系来源于学术体系所形成的共识性成果；政治学学科体系的发展推动学术体系的发展，是学术体系、话语体系的根本依托；话语体系植根于学术体系，是学术体系的表达形式，直接影响学术成果的接受度，学术创新驱动话语创新。政治学学术研究的水平与属性最终决定了话语体系的水平与属性。政治学自主知识体系则是统领性的目标。要想建构好中国政治学自主知识体系，必须充分运用系统集成这一具有基础性的工作方法，统筹推进学科体系、学术体系、话语体系、教材体系的建设工作，不能轻视某一方面的工作，一定要在建设工作中形成合力、提高整体效能。

Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science is a pioneering undertaking. It is necessary to adhere to Chinese characteristics and autonomy, and deeply explore three resources: Marxist political science principles, traditional Chinese political wisdom, and the governance practice of socialist China.

构建中国政治学自主知识体系是一项开拓性事业，必须坚持好中国特色与自主性，深挖马克思主义政治学原理、中华传统政治智慧、社会主义中国的治理实践等三种资源。

Marxist political science principles scientifically reveal the objective laws of human social political activities and are the theoretical cornerstone that must be adhered to in constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science. The political science principles created by Marxist classical writers in various eras still have important guiding significance for contemporary China's political construction and national governance practice. For example, the political superstructure is established on the economic base, the state is a tool of class rule, political power is the power of class rule, and the nature of the state determines the political form, and so on. The independent knowledge system for Chinese political science we are constructing today is still essentially a Marxist political science knowledge system. It is a political science knowledge system that, on the basis of inheriting the state theory, class theory, etc., of Marxist classical writers, continuously develops and innovates in combination with China's political practice activities. To construct an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science, we should absorb the essence of Marxist political science principles, insist on using Marxist theory to examine contemporary Chinese political issues, dialectically understand major relationships such as the economic base and superstructure, the nature of the state and political form, the proletarian party and the bourgeois party, social existence and political ideology, war and peace, etc., scientifically grasp the laws of political development, the laws of national political construction, the laws of national governance, etc., and continuously open up new horizons in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times.

马克思主义政治学原理科学揭示了人类社会政治活动的客观规律，是构建中国政治学自主知识体系必须坚守的理论基石。马克思主义经典作家在各个时代创建的政治学原理，对当代中国政治建设与国家治理实践仍然具有重要指导意义。比如，政治上层建筑建立于经济基础之上，国家是阶级统治的工具，政治权力是阶级统治的权力，国家属性决定政治形式，等等。今天我们所要构建的中国政治学自主知识体系，本质上仍然属于马克思主义政治学知识体系，是在继承马克思主义经典作家国家理论、阶级理论等基础之上，结合中国政治实践活动不断发展创新的政治学知识体系。构建中国政治学自主知识体系，应汲取马克思主义政治学原理精髓，坚持用马克思主义理论审视当代中国政治问题，辩证认识经济基础与上层建筑、国家属性与政治形式、无产阶级政党与资产阶级政党、社会存在与政治意识形态、战争与和平等重大关系，科学把握政治发展规律、国家政治建设规律、国家治理规律等，不断开辟马克思主义中国化时代化新境界。

Only by taking root in the fertile soil of the nation’s historical culture can an independent knowledge system for political science flourish. The political wisdom and governance principles nurtured by China’s five-thousand-year civilization are an important source of theoretical innovation for Chinese political science. The concepts of people-oriented governance, such as “the people are the foundation of the state, and when the foundation is stable, the state is at peace,” “governing with virtue,” “appointing people on their merit,” “enriching the people to nurture them,” and “when the great Way prevails, the world is shared by all,” [1]1 These are classical Chinese political maxims from texts such as the *Book of Documents* and the *Book of Rites*, reflecting traditional ideals of people-centered governance and moral rule. drawn from fine traditional Chinese culture, have been forged into the historical process of the CPC’s leadership in national political construction. They provide a deep historical and cultural root for building an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science. On the new journey of the New Era, we should draw political wisdom from the long river of China’s five-thousand-year civilization, be adept at deepening our understanding of the laws of political operation through history and culture, attend to the real problems of current national political construction, predict future trends in national governance, combine traditional governance experience with modern governance methods, and use traditional political wisdom to generate new theoretical growth points for political science. We must endow fine traditional Chinese political culture with modern forms of expression and new contemporary connotations, realize the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese political culture, and provide rich cultural nourishment for the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

植根本民族历史文化沃土，自主的政治学知识体系才能根深叶茂。中华五千多年文明孕育的政治智慧与治理之道，是中国政治学理论创新的重要思想源泉。中华优秀传统文化中的“民为邦本、本固邦宁”“为政以德”“任人唯贤”“厚生以养民”“大道之行、天下为公”等民本观、为政观、治理观，熔铸于中国共产党领导国家政治建设的历史进程，为构建中国政治学自主知识体系提供了深厚的历史文化根脉。新时代新征程，应从中华五千多年文明长河中汲取政治智慧，善于从历史文化中深化对政治运行规律的理解把握，关照当下国家政治建设现实问题、预测未来国家治理态势，把传统治理经验与现代国家治理方法相结合，以传统政治智慧催生政治学新的理论增长点。赋予中华优秀传统政治文化以现代表现形式和新的时代内涵，实现中华优秀传统政治文化的创造性转化、创新性发展，为实现国家治理体系和治理能力现代化提供丰厚的文化滋养。

The history of the CPC leading the people in advancing national political construction and carrying out national governance is a history of continuously adapting the principles of Marxist political science to the Chinese context and the needs of the times, and also a history of continuous theoretical innovation in the field of political science. To construct an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science, we must base ourselves on the great practice of the CPC leading national political construction and political development, and promote the integration of the principles of Marxist political science with China’s political construction practice, national governance practice, and whole-process people’s democracy practice. We should focus on summarizing and applying the great historical achievements and experiences gained from national governance practice and whole-process people’s democracy practice since the New Era, creatively explain the laws of modern national governance and the essence of national political construction, and use them to guide whole-process people’s democracy construction and national governance practice on the new journey. The independent knowledge system for Chinese political science will inevitably continue to develop and innovate as whole-process people’s democracy deepens comprehensively, the system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC improves day by day, and the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity advances.

中国共产党领导人民推进国家政治建设以及开展国家治理的历史，是一部马克思主义政治学原理不断实现中国化时代化的历史，也是在政治学领域不断进行理论创新的历史。构建中国政治学自主知识体系，必须立足于中国共产党领导国家政治建设与政治发展的伟大实践，推动马克思主义政治学原理与中国政治建设实践、国家治理实践、全过程人民民主实践相结合。注重总结运用新时代以来国家治理实践与全过程人民民主实践取得的巨大历史成就与经验，创造性地阐释现代国家治理的规律以及国家政治建设的本质，并用于指导新征程上的全过程人民民主建设与国家治理实践。中国政治学自主知识体系必将随着全过程人民民主全面深化、中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度日益完善、国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的日益提升而持续发展、不断创新。

To construct an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science, we must focus on contemporary Chinese politics, focus on the great political practice currently underway in Chinese society, take real problems as the driving force, base ourselves on China’s political practice, and take comparison as the pathway.

构建中国政治学自主知识体系，必须聚焦当代中国政治，聚焦中国社会正在进行的伟大政治实践，以现实问题为牵引，以中国的政治实践为基础，以比较为途径。

Take real problems as the driving force. Political science theory is a general statement that describes and explains the causes or consequences of the same type of political phenomena, providing causal explanations for the relationships among multiple political phenomena and the mechanisms through which causal effects occur. Producing original theoretical knowledge is an important mission entrusted by the times. Based on the present and focusing on practice, we must neither engage in revisionist research centered on Western theories and Western problems, nor simply verify the theoretical propositions of Western political science. Instead, we must take China’s own problems as the new center of gravity and construct an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science. For example, how to clearly explain the issue of the “great unity” [2]2 “Great unity” (大一统, *da yitong*) refers to the historical ideal of political and territorial unification under a single central authority, a core concept in Chinese political tradition. at the national level being consistently maintained; the issue of the inherent consistency in the evolution from the tradition of consultative politics to consultative democracy; the issue of why “four things to look at and four things to look at even more” [3]3 “Four things to look at and four things to look at even more” is a standard proposed by Xi Jinping in 2021 for evaluating democracy: look at whether the people have is the standard for evaluating whether a country is democratic; the issue of why China’s modernization did not take the path of external colonization, military plunder, or armed expansion; and so on. By centering on the major strategies and major concerns of national development and taking real problems as the driving force, we can discover the unique mechanisms and laws of Chinese politics, thereby promoting paradigm breakthroughs, injecting vitality and momentum into the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science, and endowing it with enduring theoretical vitality.

以现实问题为牵引。政治学理论是对同一类政治现象发生的原因或导致的结果进行描述与解释的一般性陈述，为多个政治现象之间的关系提供因果解释以及因果作用发生的机制。生产原创性理论知识，是时代赋予的重要使命。立足当前，着眼实践，既不能围绕西方理论以及西方问题进行修正性研究，更不能简单验证西方政治学的理论命题，而是要以中国自己的问题为新的引力中心，构建中国政治学自主知识体系。比如，如何讲清楚国家层面的“大一统”能够一以贯之的问题，从协商政治传统演变为协商民主具有怎样的内在一致性问题，“四个要看、四个更要看”为何是评价一个国家民主与否的标准问题，中国的现代化为什么没有走对外殖民、军事掠夺和武力扩张的道路问题，等等。围绕国家发展的重大战略和重大关切，以现实问题为牵引，方能发现中国政治独有的机制规律，进而推动范式突破，为中国政治学自主知识体系的建构注入活力和动力，并赋予其持久的理论生命力。

Base ourselves on China’s political practice. We must construct concepts, propositions, and theories based on China’s political practice and experience, and establish a theoretical framework for political science based on the practice of Chinese-path modernization. Concepts are the cornerstone of the political science knowledge system and the subjective reflection of the attributes of the same type of political phenomena. The attributes of political phenomena in China differ significantly from those in Western countries. For example, Western theories of party competition cannot explain the system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC, nor can they properly understand the sixteen-character policy [4] emphasized by China’s new type of party system: “long-term coexistence, mutual oversight, treating each other with sincerity, and sharing honor and disgrace.” For this reason, we need to propose original Chinese concepts based on China’s local experience. Situated in a new historical juncture, we should focus on clarifying the rationale of the transition from the “Chinese system” to “Chinese governance,” and explore the theoretical foundation for constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science. We should deeply study and explain the political science principles embedded in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, elucidate from multiple dimensions the “improvement of the Party’s leadership system,” [5] emphasizing its key role in political construction; analyze the operational mechanisms of Party and state institutional reform and its driving effect on governance modernization; explain the connotations, characteristics, and theoretical foundations of the new type of party relations, contributing Chinese wisdom to the theory of party politics; conduct multi-angle research on building a community with a shared future for mankind, emphasizing its innovative significance for international relations theory and construction pathways; pay attention to the actual operational effectiveness of grassroots governance, highlighting the supporting role of grassroots consultative democracy; and explore from multiple aspects the connotations, functions, and theoretical significance of whole-process people’s democracy, promoting the expansion of research fields and disciplinary development in Chinese political science.

以中国的政治实践为基础。我们要以中国的政治实践与经验为基础来构建概念、命题和理论，基于中国式现代化实践建立政治学理论框架。概念是政治学知识体系的基石，是同一类政治现象属性在人们主观上的反映。中国的政治现象与西方国家政治现象的属性差异明显。比如，西方的政党竞争理论无法解释中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度，也就不能很好地理解我国新型政党制度所强调的“长期共存、互相监督、肝胆相照、荣辱与共”十六字方针。为此，我们需要根据中国的本土经验提出原创性的中国概念。处在新的历史方位上，应聚焦讲明“中国之制”迈向“中国之治”的道理，探索构建中国政治学自主知识体系的学理根基。深入研究阐释习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想蕴含的政治学原理，多维度阐释“完善党的领导体制”等，强调其在政治建设中的关键作用；剖析党和国家机构改革的运行机制及其对治理现代化的推动作用；阐释新型政党关系的内涵、特征与理论基础，为政党政治理论贡献中国智慧；多角度研究构建人类命运共同体，强调其对国际关系理论的创新意义与构建路径；关注基层治理实际运行效能，突出基层协商民主的支撑作用；多方面探究全过程人民民主的内涵、作用与理论意义，促进中国政治学研究的领域拓展与学科发展。

Take comparison as the pathway. Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese political science does not mean being closed, conservative, or talking to ourselves behind closed doors; on the contrary, only by strengthening comparative dialogue with an open and inclusive attitude, and actively absorbing all excellent achievements from Western political science and political science from other regions, can we truly form Chinese characteristics and establish autonomy. Only by mutually verifying through comparison, understanding the laws, strengths, and shortcomings of political construction and development in various countries, can we deepen our understanding of the laws of political development, learn to use universal scientific thinking and terminology, and employ a series of scientific terms such as concepts, propositions, theories, testing, inference, falsification, and generalization. Only in this way can our independent knowledge system engage in comparative dialogue with the Western political science knowledge system, and through comparative dialogue, enhance the international influence of Chinese political science discourse and highlight the unique value of Chinese political science in the world. Advancing this process requires the collective wisdom and systematic coordination of the Chinese political science community, jointly developing some open-source and shared academic infrastructure, including public databases for political science, institutional simulation experiment platforms, and global networks for area and country studies; it requires proposing Chinese standards for political science academic evaluation, including indicators such as local problem awareness, methodological innovation, and global dialogue capability. A good piece of Chinese political science research needs a strong awareness of Chinese problems, research methods that keep pace with the times, and outstanding global dialogue influence. We should accurately grasp the logic of the evolution of the world pattern, identify the era’s positioning and development direction, bring new theories and methods through multidisciplinary integration, and provide new perspectives for solving problems; promote the application of big data and artificial intelligence in political science research, emphasize the integration of political science with engineering and artificial intelligence, actively develop emerging and interdisciplinary fields such as computational political science, expand the disciplinary system of political science, and construct a future-oriented knowledge system for political science. Strive to break through the “compartmentalization” between domestic affairs and foreign affairs, properly handle the relationship between academic research and theoretical propaganda, achieve the integration of practical experience and academic discourse, and highlight the unique value of Chinese political science in international communication and international dialogue.

以比较为途径。构建中国政治学自主知识体系，并不意味着封闭保守、关起门来自说自话；相反，只有以开放包容的姿态加强比较对话，积极吸收西方政治学和其他地区政治学的一切优秀成果，才能真正形成中国特色并建立自主性。只有在比较中相互印证，理解各国政治建设与发展的规律、优势与短板，才能加深对政治发展规律的认知理解，学会运用通用的科学思维与术语，使用概念、命题、理论、检验、推论、证伪、普遍化等一系列科学术语。唯其如此，我们的自主知识体系才能够与西方的政治学知识体系进行比较对话，并在比较对话中提升中国政治学话语的国际影响力、彰显中国政治学在世界上的独特价值。推进这一过程，需要中国政治学界的集体智慧与系统协同，共同发展一些开源共享的学术基础设施，包括政治学公开数据库、制度模拟实验平台、区域国别研究全球网络等支撑体系；需要提出政治学学术评价的中国标准，包含本土问题意识、方法论创新、全球对话能力等指标。一项好的中国政治学研究，需要有强烈的中国问题意识、与时俱进的研究方法，以及卓越的全球对话影响力。应准确把握世界格局演变逻辑，找准时代定位和发展方向，通过多学科融合带来新理论与新方法，为解决问题提供新视角；推动大数据和人工智能在政治学研究中的应用，重视政治学与工科、人工智能的融合，积极发展计算政治学等新兴学科与交叉学科，拓展政治学的学科体系，构建面向未来的政治学知识体系。努力打通内政与外交之间的“区隔”，处理好学术研究和理论宣传之间的关系，实现实践经验与学术话语的融通，在国际传播和国际对话中彰显中国政治学的独特价值。
