Features: With the continuous advancement of China's reform and opening-up and the development of a market economy, especially after joining the World Trade Organization, China's economy, particularly the economies of ethnic minority regions, will face the dual challenge of international competition domestication and domestic competition globalization. Under these circumstances, to develop relatively underdeveloped economies in ethnic minority regions, it is essential to not only use high technology to transform traditional industries but also to fully utilize the comparative advantages of these regions to develop distinctive and competitive industries. Establishing a coordinated and rational regional economic model with strong competitiveness is crucial for success in competition. Based on authoritative research findings and comprehensive data, this book introduces relevant theories of regional economics and factors influencing regional economic development. It explores the industrial structure of western ethnic minority regions, analyzes and elaborates on the concepts, theories, and evaluation methods of characteristic industries, examines the dialectical relationship between characteristic industries and the sustainable development of ethnic minority regions' economies, and provides analyses and case studies on the development strategies for characteristic agriculture and tourism in western ethnic minority regions. This book will play a positive and effective role in promoting the development of ethnic minority regions' economies.
