Features: Regional economics originally emerged in Western developed capitalist countries such as Germany, the United States, Japan, and Sweden. Since the 1970s, its research focus has shifted primarily toward numerous developing countries. China is currently the largest socialist developing country in the world. Since the reform and opening-up, regional economies in China have flourished, and theoretical research in regional economics has also thrived accordingly. This book summarizes the nearly two-century-long history of the emergence and development of regional economics, elaborates on the theoretical evolution of the discipline, and focuses on the theoretical and practical issues in China's regional economic development, aiming to promote the sustainable and rapid development of China's regional economy. The book is titled with the word "Comprehensive," intending to cover all issues related to China's regional economic development, from history to the present, and from abroad to domestically, within our scope and reflections.
