ISSCAD 2026

南南合作的真正标尺

The True Measure of Our South-South Cooperation

尊敬的各位嘉宾、老师，远道而来的各位亲友，2026届的全体毕业生们：

Honorable guests, distinguished faculty, beloved families, and above all, the graduating Class of 2026:

今天，校园里洋溢着喜悦与自豪的氛围。放眼望去，我看到的是一个才华横溢、满怀抱负的多元群体。你们来自五湖四海，说着不同的语言，却为一项共同的使命而凝聚在一起——你们是“全球南方”的新生代引领者。

Today brims with joy and pride. Looking out at all of you gathered here, I see a diverse cohort brimming with talent and aspiration. You hail from every corner of the globe, speaking different languages, yet bound by a rare, shared mission: you are the emerging leaders of the Global South.

这场毕业典礼，远不止意味着获得世界顶尖学府的学位，它更赋予你们一份至关重要的使命。我谨代表南南合作与发展学院全体教师，向每一位毕业生致以最诚挚的祝贺。

This graduation marks far more than earning a degree from one of the world’s most prestigious institutions—it bestows upon you a vital calling. On behalf of all faculty at ISSCAD, I extend my sincerest congratulations to every graduate.

应对时代挑战

The Defining Challenge of Our Times

在欢庆这一里程碑时刻的同时，我们也不能忽视燕园之外正等待你们的严酷现实。经济发展，仍然是我们时代最紧迫、最具决定性的挑战。

While we celebrate this milestone, we cannot ignore the stark realities awaiting you beyond Peking University’s campus. Economic advancement remains the most urgent, defining challenge of our era.

有一种主流观点认为，“全球南方”正走向全球经济舞台的中央。在某种程度上，这确是不争的事实。金砖国家的GDP总和占全球比重已从2000年的7%跃升至如今的近26%，这是全球经济史上空前的飞跃。

A popular narrative claims that the Global South is stepping onto the center stage of the global economy, which is partially truth. The combined GDP share of BRICS economies surged from 7% in 2000 to nearly 26% today, an unprecedented milestone in global economic history.

然而，作为严谨的学者，我们必须透过表面的数字，看到本质的现象。若剔除中国和印度的发展数据，这幅整体图景便会急剧转变：对于绝大多数发展中国家而言，它们占全球GDP的比例几乎没有变化。这一发人深省的数据揭示了一个残酷的真相：无数国家仍在全球发展中处于下风。此外，方兴未艾的人工智能革命也可能进一步拉大发达国家与发展中国家之间的鸿沟。

Yet, as rigorous scholars, we must look beyond surface-level statistics. Excluding China and India from the calculation, the outlook shifts dramatically. For the vast majority of developing nations, their proportion of global GDP has barely grown. This sobering figure reveals a harsh truth: countless countries are still being left behind in global development. In addition, the on-going AI innovation may further widen the gap between the advanced countries and the developing economies.

这就是你们即将直面的现实。更重要的是，这正是你们应当运用所学去肩负的使命。你们的职责不仅在于分析发展差距，更在于弥合这一差距。

This is the reality you will confront. More importantly, it is the mission you have been trained to fulfill. Your responsibility is not merely to analyze this development gap, but to bridge it.

南南学院的独特价值：理论、实践与“全球南方共识”

The Unique Value of ISSCAD: Theory, Practice, and the Global South Consensus

南南学院已经向你们传授了践行这一使命的完整方法。

ISSCAD has equipped you with comprehensive tools to deliver on this mission.

我们的课程远不止于教科书上的经济学，而是深入探索国家发展研究的精细框架。我们深知，经济增长从不是孤立存在的，它深受历史、政治和独特国情的影响。

Our curriculum moves far beyond textbook economics. We delve into the nuanced framework of National Development Studies, acknowledging that economic growth never exists in isolation—it is deeply shaped by history, politics, and unique local contexts.

你们在课堂上经受了严格的学术训练，也走遍中国各地，亲身观察其发展历程。你们没有将中国经验视为能够照搬的僵化模板，而是将其看作鲜活的案例，审视其中的突破、障碍与启示。

You have endured intensive academic training in our classrooms, while traveling extensively across China to observe its development journey firsthand. You do not treat China’s experience as a rigid model to copy blindly, but as a living case study to examine its breakthroughs, obstacles, and lessons.

除了培养南方国家学者，南南学院更致力于构建统一的发展愿景——“全球南方共识”。这一共识拒绝“华盛顿共识”的一刀切模式，倡导务实、本土化的治理之道，要求决策者充分考量本国独特的文化传统、政治生态和社会结构，在有效市场与有为政府之间达成平衡。

Beyond cultivating individual scholars, ISSCAD strives to build a unified developmental vision: the Global South Consensus. This framework rejects the one-size-fits-all model of the Washington Consensus. Instead, it advocates for pragmatic, localized governance. It demands that policymakers fully account for each nation’s distinct cultural traditions, political landscapes, and social structures, striking a balanced synergy between market efficiency and proactive state governance.

行动呼吁

A Call to Action

走出校园之际，你们身负着无限荣誉，更肩负着重大责任。

As you step out of this campus, you bear great responsibilities alongside immense honor.

回到各自祖国后，你们将成为第一批精通这一创新发展范式的政策专家。你们不仅是北京大学校友，更将作为文化的使者，在中国与你们的祖国之间架起相互理解的桥梁。

Upon returning to your home countries, you will stand as the first generation of policy professionals well-versed in this innovative developmental paradigm. You are not merely alumni of Peking University—you are cultural ambassadors, building bridges of mutual understanding between China and your homelands.

你们还将成为“全球南方共识”的传递者，成为将“有效市场+有为政府”的愿景转化为可行政策的开拓者，在工作中致力于创造就业、缩小不平等、推动发展中地区的可持续增长。

Your role extends further: you are the torchbearers of the Global South Consensus. You are the trailblazers who will translate the vision of efficient markets paired with proactive government into actionable policies. Your work will create jobs, narrow inequality, and advance sustainable growth across developing regions.

同学们，请将目光投向你身边的同窗们。你们在课堂内外和图书馆里结下的情谊将伴随终生。当你们或回到故乡，或走向世界的时候，请记住这这份不变的情谊。你们从不孤单。通过彼此协作，分享成功的喜悦与挫折的经验，你们将构筑一个更加团结、更具韧性的全球南方。只要携起手来，你们就能把冰冷的统计数据改写为数十亿发展中国家人民充满希望的美好故事。这是你们的职责和使命所在。

Graduates, turn to your classmates beside you. The bonds forged in our seminars and libraries will last a lifetime. When you return to Lima, Nairobi Port，Moresby, Beijing, and cities worldwide, remember this powerful network. You are never alone. By collaborating, sharing successes and setbacks alike, you will build a more united, resilient Global South. Together, you can rewrite those cold statistics into a hopeful story of prosperity for billions living in developing countries.

结语

祝你们勇往直前，运用所学，为祖国创造更光明的未来。南南合作与发展学院和北京大学永远是你们的家。

March forward with courage. Apply the knowledge you have gained, and shape a brighter future for your nations. Always remember: ISSCAD and Peking University will forever be your home.

再次祝贺你们！我们为你们感到无比骄傲！

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We are immensely proud of you!
