"Recharting the Future of China's High-Quality Development: An Innovative Reconceptualization
新视角解读中国经济高质量发展的未来
Governance of Mega-Nations hinges on urban-rural and interregional dynamics, fundamentally concerning spatial resource allocation. Thus, its ultimate objective is achieving synergistic development-equilibrium across territories-an intrinsically spatial political economy challenge. For China, a transitional and developing civilizational-state, integrating political economy analysis of its institutional frameworks into regional studies is imperative, as these spatial patterns constitute the very fabric of comprehending China's economic trajectory.
Governance of Mega-Nations: The Spatial Political Economy of Development and Equilibrium synthesizes over a decade of seminal research by Ming Lu and Zhao Chen's team on China's spatial-economic architecture.Structural Framework:
Part I: Foundational Discourses
Comprehensive critiques and syntheses of China's regional/urban evolution and attendant theoretical paradoxes.
Part II: Theoretical Frontiers
Core investigations into the development-equilibrium nexus through spatial political economy lenses, crystallizing: The ""balance through agglomeration"" paradigm，How fiscal transfers (benefit-sharing mechanisms) accelerate market integration and growth
Part III: Empirical Verifications
Microdata-driven validation of pivotal spatial political economy propositions, weaving a cohesive narrative of China's regional economic metamorphosis.
大国治理，核心是城乡间和区域间关系，本质是资源的空间配置，在这个意义上，大国治理的终极目标是实现城乡间和区域间发展与平衡的共赢，这天然是一个空间政治经济学问题。在中国这样一个转型和发展中的大国，必须要将结合中国体制的政治经济学分析融入城乡和区域发展的研究中去，而城乡和区域的发展又是深刻理解中国经济的必需。《大国治理：发展与平衡的空间政治经济学》总结了陆铭、陈钊团队十余年来围绕着中国经济而做的空间政治经济学研究的为重要的成果。
本书分为三个部分。个部分是一组综述性的文章，对于中国区域和城市发展走过的道路以及存在的理论问题进行了全面的评论和总结。第二部分是一组理论性文章，其核心是在空间政治经济学视角下探讨发展与平衡之间的关系，集中地体现了"在集聚中走向平衡"的观点，以及转移支付（利益分享机制）促进市场整合与经济增长。第三部分是一组经验研究，利用微观数据对于空间政治经济学为重要的几个问题进行了验证，而这几篇论文本身可以串起一个比较完整的有关中国区域经济发展的故事。
