Abstract

The article defines the role of the China Association of Regional Studies (established in 1991) in the process of studying and analyzing regional problems of the spatial organization of the economy in China after the start of the policy of “reform and openness”. The consolidation of the scientific potential of Chinese scientists in the field of economics, geography, history, sociology, philosophy, cultural studies within the framework of the Association made it possible to develop high-quality recommendations on the regional development of China. The main aspects of the regional development of the PRC, considered within the framework of the Association, were issues related to the regional economy and regional policy (theory and practice), regional economic development strategies, a comprehensive assessment of the PRC regional policy after 1978, the regional economy in the border regions, and industrial agglomeration and industrial clusters in China.
