| Research Abstract |
After the Policies of reform and opening China adopted in 1978, regional disparities have become obvious to all. In order to narrow the regional disparities, we believe that regions along the Changjinang River will have to become a main route where the economic development have spread from the coastal into the inner regions. Based on this point of view, we examine the state of the regional developemet in this areas and compare the development strategies among the regions along the Changjiang River through interviews with local officials, scholars and businessmen.
Our main findings are as follows ; First, The Changjiang River does not work well as the network of circulation of goods. However, highways along the river which have partially opened, newly established Jingjiu Line which goes across the Central regions, are positive role on strengthening regional integration.
Second, local governments have made their development strategies in their own way, they have lacked consistency. Policy coordination among the local governments has appeared, but still too week, and the central government has not appropriate policy instruments adjusting the contradiction among them.
Third, "Regional Economic Zone" beyond administrative areas have been forming gradually, but the actual situations were very complicated. On the one hand, thanks to severe market competition, several goods like color TV are circulating with nation-wide, on the other hand protectionism by local governments are still obvious in the field of core industries like automobile production.
