Features: The book is divided into three parts, consisting of nine chapters. Part I, Theoretical Section, includes Chapters 1-2, reviewing and evaluating theoretical research on the relationship between international trade and economic development both domestically and internationally. It discusses the mechanisms and conditions under which international trade promotes regional economic growth from four aspects, and analyzes the macro background of China's foreign trade both domestically and internationally, as well as the correlation between international trade and regional development disparities. Part II, Empirical Section, includes Chapters 3-6, featuring an instance study with Ningbo as an example. It analyzes the model of how international trade initiates Ningbo's export-oriented economy, and examines the effects of international trade on regional development from macro, meso, and micro perspectives. Part III, Strategic Section, includes Chapters 7-9, exploring issues related to regional development against the backdrop of economic globalization and China's accession to the WTO. It analyzes the negative effects of international trade on regional development, the main existing problems, and conducts a forward-looking analysis of China's future trade drivers. Additionally, it studies the specific implementation of the "going global" and "internal support, external opening" strategies based on market internalization from a regional perspective.
