Features: Over the past two decades, the reform and opening-up has injected fresh institutional vitality and tremendous development momentum into the local economies of China. Across the country, numerous distinctive paths and models of local economic development have emerged, with Jiangsu province, particularly its southern region, standing out for its export-oriented and open-type economic growth. This book focuses on the "Jiangsu Model," discussing the development achievements, paths, and characteristics of Jiangsu since the reform and opening-up. It examines the rise of township enterprises, the significant growth of export-oriented economies, the strategic goal of "two pioneering advancements" to comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development, and the transformation of local government functions and the establishment of enterprises as market entities, along with their correlation to economic growth models. Placing this development process within the broader context of economic globalization, the book analyzes China's reform and opening-up and economic globalization from the perspective of their temporal and spatial convergence and mechanism interaction. Using Jiangsu as a case study, it offers a rational reflection and analysis of local economic development in China from the perspectives of development economics and regional economics.
