臺灣典藏之近代中國檔案：機構網絡、典藏特色與研究價值

臺灣典藏近代中國檔案極為豐富，因歷史因緣分散於中央研究院近代史研究所檔案館、國史館、中國國民黨黨史館、檔案管理局等機構。本演講將先梳理各館沿革、典藏特色與來源脈絡，說明跨館資源如何互補、如何串聯，以提升研究取材的效率與深度。接著聚焦近史所檔案館的成立背景與發展歷程，並重點介紹五大館藏類別——外交、經濟、機關團體、個人文書與地圖——同時分享檢索策略與運用要訣，協助聽眾快速找到材料、開展研究新線索。

Seminar - How Chinese Censorship Allows Public Discourse on Democracies but Not Their Institutions

26 February 2026

Room 2408 (via lifts 17-18), 2/F Academic Building

Conventional wisdom holds that authoritarian regimes censor positive information about liberal democracies and negative information about themselves to maintain legitimacy and support. I argue instead that the primary objective of censoring foreign information is to limit public exposure to the institutions and processes in foreign democracies. This strategy is increasingly effective because, as autocracies have developed over recent decades, the gap in living standards between them and democracies has narrowed, making socioeconomic comparisons less threatening than institutions. Moreover, institutional knowledge is more complex and harder to acquire, making it less likely to provoke immediate backlash. To test this argument, I compiled over half a million pre-censorship articles about foreign democracies posted on China’s largest social media platform between 2016 and 2022. I find that content related to democratic institutions, such as elections and judiciary, is nearly four times more likely to be censored than content concerning socioeconomic conditions and governance, such as economic performance. These findings suggest that the Chinese censorship apparatus is primarily aimed at obstructing public familiarity with democratic institutions, rather than simply discrediting Western democracies.
