本論文題目為「兩岸客家研究與客家社團之政治分析－以『世界客屬懇親大會』為中心」，筆者發現到「客家」作為一個群體名稱，用以鑑別與他族人之不同時，這個大家都稱之為「客家」的這群人，其內部就有許多跨地域性、跨行政區界上的不同。本論文的研究目的在於探討台海兩岸客家人，在「世界客屬懇親大會」上所進行的政治角力，並探討引起這政治角力的原因。
本論文所採用的研究途徑為歷史研究途徑和政治學研究途徑，在兩岸不同政治發展的時間與事件脈絡下，首先探討兩岸客家研究的政治性格，繼而探究客家社團與政治的關係，再切入客家研究如何與「世界客屬懇親大會」搭配，兩岸客家社團又如何在「世界客屬懇親大會」展現既聯合又鬥爭的互動形式。
資料來源上，因為筆者長期參與客家事務，對客家事務與相關之文獻有一定的了解，所以採用文獻分析法，參與觀察法及深度訪談法三者互為佐証運用。在客家研究、客家社團與世界客屬懇親大會三者的學術與實務上，務求達至一個由政治面向的角度來探討這發展的關係與模式。
本論文的主要研究發現是：客家研究與客家社團之間有著密不可分的關係，但是也要小心一些偽文獻的誤導，客家社團的轉型也是面對現代化社會過程中，在組織功能上必須面對的挑戰。當前世界各地有多個以客家為名的大會與社團組織。足證明，「客家」儼然成為一股跨越國界的勢力。為各區域間或國家內部所重視。
The title of this study is“Political Analysis on Hakka Studies and Hakka Associations of Cross-Strait:from the Center of‘World Hakka Convention’”. Hakka as a group name, the researcher finds that Hakka people, as we call them, have many cross-area and –administrative border differences within. The purpose of this study aims to discuss the political wrestling between Hakka people across the Strait at World Hakka Association and explore the reasons of such political wrestling.
The study approach adopted in this study is historical study and political science study. Under the time and event contexts of political development across the Strait, the researcher first discusses the political characteristics of Hakka studies across the Strait, explores the relationship between Hakka associations and politics and then reviews how Hakka studies coordinate with World Hakka Association as well as the interaction form of both alliance and fight between Hakka associations across the Strait at World Hakka Association.
In material resources, having long been involved in Hakka affairs, the researcher has a certain level of understanding of Hakka affairs and relevant documents. The citation analysis, as a result, is adopted with evidence use of participation observation method and in-depth interview method. In the academics and practice of Hakka studies, Hakka associations and World Hakka Association, it is required to discuss the development relationship and model in the political angle.
The major findings of this study: Hakka studies are closely related to Hakka associations. However, one has to be cautious of the incorrect reports from some documents. Transformation of Hakka associations under the modern socialization is a challenge in the organization function. There are a great number of conferences and association in the name of Hakka; Hakka has become a transnational power and emphasized inside regions and nations.
