International Research Trends of Deep-sea Development and the Insight

Liu Shuguang

Abstract: The deep-sea development is a major measure of China and some other marine powers to respond to the transformation of global strategic pattern and lead the new round of economic transformation, its worldwide progress and trend merits high attention. On the basis of summarizing previous research and international scholars' theory and empirical research, it is found that many disciplines, such as ecology and applied economics, constitute the important subject foundation of deep-sea development. Mineral resources, fishery resources, oil and gas resources and genetic resources are the main targets in the deep-sea resources development; biodiversity conservation, transport link protection, science and technology support, and environmental impact assessment become a hot issue in the establishment of the deep-sea development support system; and development through international cooperation and agreement, establishment of high seas protection area, and high-sea three-dimensional space planning and so on are the major task of various parties having an interest in the international deep-sea development. At the same time, the theoretical results in the humanities and social sciences disciplines targeting at deep-sea development are too few and shallow to sustain the creation of new subjects "deep-sea development" and "deep-sea economics", but the huge demand behind the country's deep-sea exploration and the fierce international deep-sea development competition are the important driving force for establishing a humanities and social sciences theory system for deep-sea development in China.
