On The Construction Of Developmental Zones In The Economic Growth Of Underdeveloped Coastal Regions Of Fujian Province

Developmental zones were born in the process of China's reform and opening-up. In the past twenty years, developmental zones have been growth points in the corresponding underdeveloped coastal regions of Fujian province. As China's reform and opening are being deepened, the relatively closed system and original preferential policies of developmental zones are faced with new challenges. I, in this thesis, start with an analysis of the status quo of developmental zones in underdeveloped coastal regions of Fujian, and proceed to look into their problems and attempt to put forward some strategies for their further growth. The thesis is divided into three chapters:Chapter One talks about the relationship between developmental zones and regional economic growth. Following a brief definition, categorization and the major characteristics of developmental zones, I proceed to discuss their relationship with regional economic growth, as well as the situation and tasks the developmental zones face in their current development.Chapter Two is an analysis of the status quo of the construction of developmental zones in underdeveloped coastal regions of Fujian. By making a comparison of the provincial developmental zones with those in other provinces, I focus on the main problems faced by these zones in their development.In Chapter Three, I attempt to put forward some strategies for further development of developmental zones in underdeveloped coastal regions of Fujian. The first part is about the overall thinking of the further acceleration of developing zones in underdeveloped coastal regions in a new era, which includes: clarifying the positions and tasks, and focusing on the key projects with differentiation, in combination with the important role of developmental zones in the construction of West Strait economic zone as well as the transfer of growth patterns of developmental zones. The second part are suggested polices for further development of developmental zones in underdeveloped coastal regions of Fujian, including specific policies of industrial development, investment attraction, resources, and subsidies.
