Features: Economic balanced development is a very complex issue involving various aspects. It concerns the level of economic development and the strength of economic power, the unequal distribution of development opportunities, as well as mechanisms, policies, competition, and the environment. It also involves the abundance or scarcity of production factors and the balanced and rational allocation of these factors. This book takes the issue of regional economic balanced development during the process of European integration as its research subject, which is an important topic awaiting exploration and in-depth discussion in academic circles both domestically and internationally. The author proposes and thoroughly argues the definition, formation mechanism, developmental stages, and supporting conditions of the "center-periphery" structure in Asia from the perspective of European integration, along with theoretical and empirical analyses. From the perspective of the formation and development of the Asian center, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the formation, development, expansion, and deepening of economic integration. Through the analysis and argumentation of a large amount of data, it specifically proposes the formation and development of the "center-periphery" structure in the process of European integration, offering valuable insights for China's balanced economic development, industrial integration, and regional coordinated development, particularly in addressing the gap between the eastern and western regions.
