Features: This book introduces the concepts of economic biology, combining and drawing on the new developments in specialization and division of labor from emerging classical economics. It regards successful high-tech industrial zones, economic and technological development zones, and traditional industrial agglomeration areas as the primary forms in the evolution of new industrial regions. It further incorporates the numerous and diverse special economic zones that objectively exist since China's reform and opening-up, as well as private enterprise agglomeration areas typical of regions like Zhejiang and Wenzhou, into the scope of economic theoretical research. From the aspects of original specialization, innovative enterprise networks, and agglomeration economies in space, it constructs an economic analysis framework for the "evolution of new industrial regions" and explores the related policy implications.
