Features: This book primarily studies the issue of the redevelopment of Special Economic Zones (SEAs) in China after its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) against the backdrop of economic globalization. The author, within the broad perspective of modern world market economic development, attempts to comprehensively, dialectically, historically, and dynamically understand the intrinsic relationships among economic globalization, uneven development, WTO, and SEAs. It aims to research the redevelopment of Chinese SEAs under WTO, combining the realities and needs of China's reform and opening-up and economic development in the new era, based on an understanding of the current trends in the global economy and the development of SEAs worldwide. This book is a theoretical monograph on WTO research and international economics, and can also serve as a reference for teaching and research on economic globalization, WTO, and SEA development. The book is divided into ten chapters, with the first three chapters elaborating on the relationships among economic globalization, uneven development, WTO, and SEAs. The following seven chapters discuss major theoretical and practical issues such as the domestic and international environments, basic approaches, legal foundations, and countermeasures for the redevelopment of SEAs in China after its accession to WTO.
