摘　　要：20世纪西方地理学特别是人文地理学的发展史,就是一种“区域主义”运动并不断转折的历史。文章以区域研究及其争论为核心,分析了20世纪西方地理学从区域地理学到区域方法、从区域方法到区域主义、从区域主义到区域主义的解构、从区域主义的解构到新区域主义的建构等四次重大转向的历史脉络,探讨了区域研究范式不断转向的原因及其意义,并在此基础上阐释了当前西方地理学“新区域主义”运动的性质和特点。Among the 20th century, the substantive focus and the theoretical mood of western geography had made a great transformation. In some extents, the history of development of western geography was also the history of “regionalism” movement and its continual turns. Centered on the regional studies and their arguments, the paper analyses the evolutionary trajectory of western geography and the four important paradigm turns in the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century to the immediate postwar period, the research paradigm of regional geography founded by Hettner and Hartshorne etal and emphasized the synthesizing idiographic urge was the core of western modern geography.

Up to the 1960s, the needs of economic and social development, the quantitative and theoretical revolution and the practices of urban and regional development policies and planning commonly promoted the regional approach to develop and become a new paradigm named as “regionalism” centered on the development and planning of cities and city - regions. But to the middle 1960s especially in the 1970s, the fast rising of behavioral geography, humanist geography and radical geography criticized and deconstructed deeply this positivism “spatial science”. During the late 1970s and 1980s, with the radical transformations from Keynesian and welfare - statist policy system and Fordist mass- production to neoliberalism and workfare policy system and post- Fordist production, old regionalism had gone to pieces and a constructing movement of new regionalism had come into being. Up to 1990s, new regionalism had become the domain ideology in western geography mad the theoretical constructing
