Features: China's entry into the World Trade Organization not only marks our country as a member of the largest and most representative international economic organization in the world today, but also signifies a decisive step taken by China in integrating into economic globalization and participating in international economic competition, ushering in a new stage for China's reform and opening-up and economic development. Based on the introduction and elaboration of the basic theories and fundamental knowledge of regional economics, this book also incorporates certain innovations compared to some traditional textbooks, introducing relatively cutting-edge theoretical content such as "regional competitiveness," "regional innovation systems," "regional natural environment," and "sustainable development," while balancing scientific rigor, strictness, and modernity. The book is divided into approximately 14 chapters, covering major content such as the fundamental theories of regional economics, regional development, regional relationships, and practical methods of regional planning. It is suitable as a core textbook for regional economics majors, as well as for public and elective courses in other finance and economics disciplines. It is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals in related fields, for learning and reference.
