术语“密涅瓦计划”的详细信息

英译术语:

Minerva Initiative

汉语语境:

为弥补军方在某些政策相关领域基础性科研的不足，以及重塑军方与社会科学界的关系，美国国防部于2008年推出“密涅瓦”计划。该计划由国防部资助地方院校对一些美国军方关注的领域，如反恐、宗教、某些重点国家及地区的军事潜力或社会发展等进行基础性的研究和培训。该计划实施以来取得了不少进展，也在美国国内重新引发了一场关于国家安全、军方偏好与学术自主性之间关系的讨论。“密涅瓦“计划尽管存在一些问题，但它在项目选择、发挥军地比较优势，以及促进安全研究共同体的建设等方面有许多经验值得借鉴。

英语语境:

In order to strengthen its capacity of conducting basic social research in certain policy-related areas, and to redefine the relationship between the military and the social science academia, the U.S.Department of Defense(DOD) launched the Minerva Initiative in 2008. According to this initiative, DOD has been sponsoring dozens of educational and/or research institutions to conduct research and training in various areas such as anti-terrorism, religious studies, and the potential military power and social development in certain countries and regions of critical importance. This initiative has made much progress and reignited a debate about the relationship among national security, military preferences and academic autonomy. Despite some controversial problems it has raised, the Minerva Initiative is an illuminating case for the construction of a security studies community in China, especially in terms of streamlining project selection and integrating the comparative advantages of the military and the civilian universities.
