**生平**
王赓武父亲王宓文1903年生于大清江苏泰州，南京国立东南大学英国文学系毕业后，1929年获聘为荷属东印度（今印尼）泗水市第一家华文中学的校长。王赓武1930年生于泗水，因父亲有新的教职，举家旋即迁至英属马来亚怡保。王赓武回忆，怡保人口主要是曼泰宁人、客家人、广府人、四邑人和闽南人，而王氏一家来自江苏苏北，操一口泰州腔的中华民国国语，在当地人眼中颇为异类。
1936年入读怡保Maxwell Primary School，1年后随着该校跟另一所官立英文小学Anderson School 合并而一同过渡，在Anderson School修毕小二至小五课程。1941年12月太平洋战争马来亚战役，未几王赓武转学至 Ming Teh Primary School（明德小学）。小六毕业后由父亲给予的初中教育，1945年才重返 Anderson School 入读中三年级。及后，他于1946年报考英国剑桥中学文凭公开试（即普通教育文凭前身），1947年入读中华民国南京国立中央大学历史系，1949年因国共内战国民政府失利而转入马来亚大学新加坡分校，毕业论文《Chinese Reformists and Revolutionaries in the Straits Settlements, 1900-1911》。1953年本科毕业后继续在马来亚大学攻读硕士，论文“The Nanhai Trade : a Study of the Early History of Chinese Trade in the South China Sea”。1957年获英国伦敦大学亚非学院博士学位，论文为“The Structure of Power in North Chinese During the Five Dynasty”。1957年起先后任马来亚大学历史系讲师，1963年任教授兼系主任、文学院院长。1968年移民澳大利亚，任澳洲国立大学远东历史系主任与太平洋研究院院长。1986年至1996年任香港大学校长。1996年起任新加坡国立大学东亚研究所所长，曾获福冈亚洲文化奖─学术研究奖（学术部门）。
所有资料都表明王赓武至少有两个国籍，但一般只指明其中一个是澳大利亚籍，另一籍则不得而知。“我在澳大利亚生活了18年，对那个国家很有感情。但我不认为自己是澳大利亚人，不管是我对他们的认识还是他们对我的认识都还很肤浅。”1957年马来亚联合邦独立，马来亚联合邦华人面临回籍中华民国、中华人民共和国还是留下入籍的选择。王赓武的研究兴趣由此扩展到东南亚各地、美国、澳大利亚、非洲华人的历史。

**主要观点**

**中国的国族史观**
王赓武认为中国天下观念更有包容性，中国版图的问题、主权的问题非常复杂，为避免狭隘民族的概念及政策的问题，主张古代中国向来有的天下观，与民族国家的概念是矛盾的，但可以和理想的国家之间互相照顾、互相支持秩序结合。澳大利亚首任驻中华人民共和国大使Stephen FitzGerald (diplomat)曾半开玩笑地说，王赓武可以当好中国总理，他也是马来西亚民政党创办人之一。

**大陆中国及海洋中国**
王赓武在中国海洋观及中国海洋发展史等课题提出的相关学术论文及专书。学者郑永年认为王赓武仍是启发学者的典范，因为其研究想像力正是连结中国研究及国际关系学研究所需，特别在处理国际关系学理论中的跨国性而言。
王赓武在近代海洋中国的发展和国族主义的研究包含开放性及革命的关系及海洋中国的诸多历史变化
以此历史观，王赓武对邓小平改革开放政策所获得的经济成果有以下描述：
同时他认为还有一种在地理、职业及文化个性上不同的国族情绪：
他进一步指出，在中国近现代史上这两种国族情绪的差异，鼓励另外一种型态的复兴民族主义来恢复中国一贯奉行的大陆的世界观：
