Convinced~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Abstract] From the perspective of bibliometrics, the development of national defense economics in New China can be divided into three stages, namely, the inception of the discipline before 1985, and the

Discipline construction at the end of the 20th century and discipline transformation since the 21st century.

The evolution of New China's defense economics is closely related to the evolution of the international strategic situation, changes in my country's national development strategy, the development of national defense strategy and military strategy, the enhancement of national strength, and economic and academic progress. The development of war patterns also promotes the development of New China's national defense Progress in Economics.

On the whole, the development of national defense economics in New China is staged, dynamic and uneven, lagging behind the development of mainstream economics.

Further research shows that the development of national defense economics after reform and opening up shows the characteristics of leaps, stability and continuity, and there will be a trend of integration with mainstream economics in the future.

[Keywords] Evolutionary Characteristics of New China’s Defense Economics [Document Identification Code] A [Article Number] 1005-4952 (2010) 01-0080-08 Since the founding of New China, defense economics has made great progress and has a lot of experience and lessons.

Summarizing and studying this will undoubtedly provide insight into the long-term changes in the international strategic situation and changes in national power comparisons. Defense economics focuses on the changes in military strategy under the guidance of national interests and studies military investment, military production and management, and military manpower.

The process of ideological changes in defense economic issues such as resources, war conflicts, and disarmament.

As for the research on the national defense economics of New China, the fundamental task is to comprehensively review the evolution process of national defense economics, and on the basis of comprehensive collection, sorting and research of literature, and in accordance with the contemporary national defense economics discipline system, sort out different topics by stages and topics.

Clues, such as military expenditure research at different stages, military industry economic research, etc., establish the basic facts of academic development itself, reveal its development context, and conduct simple evaluation within a limited scope. The evaluation criteria will adopt the method of restoring history and explaining history. This kind of

Method is the specific embodiment of Marxism in the field of economic history.

As a scientific method, Marxist economics reveals that economics itself is a historical science.

This article will review the basic development context of New China’s defense economics, analyze the various influencing factors of discipline development and the basic characteristics of New China’s defense economics, and provide rich materials for discipline construction and academic basis for national defense strategic decision-making.

1. The development context of New China’s defense economics New China’s defense economics is becoming a discipline with both theoretical significance and application value in the field of contemporary economics.

From the literature review, we found that the research on my country's defense economics began with the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the first 17 years of concept formation and vision expansion, and the "***" ten-year combat readiness mobilization research, truly systematic disciplinary research began in the 20th century. In the mid-1980s, after more than 20 years of hard work and development, a relatively complete defense economic theory with Chinese characteristics was established, including the basic theory of defense economics and a number of sub-disciplines with substantial content and strong practicality. system.

From the perspective of the evolution of defense economics, it seems that it can be divided into three periods, namely the inception of the discipline before 1985, the discipline construction from 1986 to the end of the 20th century, and the discipline transformation period since the 21st century.

(1) The establishment of the discipline before 1985. This period can be divided into three stages: 1949 to 1966, 1966 to 1976, and 1976 to 1985.

1. Defense economics research from 1949 to 1966. After the founding of New China, defense economics based on war economic research, used new methods to comprehensively study the national defense construction issues of New China in response to the new reality.

At this stage, the main research object of defense economics is the experience of foreign defense economic development. From the perspective of literature aggregation, it mainly studies the profound impact of U.S. defense economic policies and issues. A large number of documents have been translated and introduced, and academic circles have focused on the development of U.S. defense economy.

Using the method of Marxist political economics, we conducted in-depth research on strategic issues, changes in military expenditures, military industry economy, military procurement and arms trade issues, military manpower economics and disarmament issues, etc. We believe that the United States relies on military strength and continues to increase military expenditures.

Allocating funds to establish extensive military alliances and military bases, the purpose is to dominate the world, and the main ideological support is the "strength theory."

Although there was no formal establishment of the discipline of defense economics at this stage, the research methods, objects and content, as well as the basic problems it sought to solve, were very different from the scope of contemporary economics.

2. Research on National Defense Economics from 1966 to 1976. Theoretical research at this stage tended to stagnate due to the outbreak of the "Japanese War", and the research topics on national defense economics were mainly concentrated in the field of combat readiness economics.

Through sorting out the literature, it was found that the research topics in the past ten years were basically focused on the Soviet Union’s war threat, and centered on the “digging holes deeply and accumulating grain widely” type of combat readiness mobilization and the “combination of labor and force” type of armaments construction.

In the late period of the "Communist Revolution", national defense modernization put forward the requirements of attaching importance to national defense science and technology, reducing the number of military personnel, and improving the combat effectiveness of the military, so there was much discussion on this issue.

But there are few academic results at this stage that have long-term impact.
