關於中國歷代之國家性質及其延續興革，中外學界歷來多有論述，並圍繞此議題對不同歷史時期何謂「中國」概念，展開一系列學術研討。而在中國史研究中，清朝多元而複雜的政權性質，向來是學界爭論之焦點；近年來從內亞史乃至世界史格局重新檢視清朝史的研究風潮，無疑使得相關的學術討論愈加熱絡。本文重點回顧過往一百年來清朝與內亞史之推進，進而歸納近年相關研究發展之新趨勢，並提出清朝與內亞史研究之未來展望。

Scholars have extensively discussed the nature of the state across different historical periods in China, provoking a series of academic debates centered around the concept of “China” itself. In the field of Chinese history, the diverse and complex nature of the Qing dynasty has long been a focal point of these scholarly debates. In recent years, there has been a growing trend of re-examining Qing history through the lens of Inner Asian history, and more broadly through the framework of world history. This article focuses on reviewing the development of Qing and Inner Asian historiography over the past one hundred years, highlights recent trends in related research, and explores future directions for the study of Qing and Inner Asian history.
