Features: The role of government and market in economic development is a long-standing and highly complex topic. The author focuses on exploring the impact of government actions on coordinated regional economic development from micro, macro, and meso levels, appropriate government behavior norms. It examines the regional policies and government actions of some typical countries and analyzes China's regional economic policies and government actions over the past 50 years. A series of policy recommendations are proposed. This book selects four typical countries—America, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the former Soviet Union—to conduct empirical research on their regional policies and government actions. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of China's regional economic policies and government actions over the past 50 years, proposing a regional economic coordinated development target model that aligns with the "Scientific Development Concept." Based on the conclusions of this book, a series of policy recommendations are proposed, including: establishing a scientific development outlook and coordinating regional economic development; cultivating market entities and promoting factor mobility; establishing a public finance system and standardizing intergovernmental transfer payment mechanisms; regulating local government behavior and promoting resource mobility; and advancing democratic and legal system construction to move toward political civilization, covering five major aspects.
