El desarrollo regional en la República Popular China: de la administración centralizada a la planificación del desarrollo

摘要

Since the foundation of the People’s Republic of China, Chinese Central People’s Gover n - ment has always been seeking a more adequate way to achieve a better regional development. The emphasis of the Mao era was mainly focused on administrative perspective, intending to improve the scheme of dividing and governing the country. Since the Reform and Open-up, the emphasis shifted to refining the regional development strategies, the trends of which have changed from Maoist redistributive policies to Deng’s uneven development model and to the efforts to battle the widening gap among regions and between urban and rural areas of China since Seventh Five-year Plan (1986-1990) until now. This article realizes a review of the undergoing process of China’s regionalization, in order to provide a framework of reference for further studies about this field.
