Progress and prospects of research on the relocation of administrative centers in China and internationally
The study of administrative center relocation integrates perspectives from a wide range of fields,including geography,history,economics,politics,and environmental studies.Exploring the historical development and future trends of administrative center relocation is crucial for enhancing the scientific,normative,and effective setting of administrative divisions and for promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.This study systematically analyzed relevant Chinese and international publications through a comprehensive literature review and bibliometric analysis,elucidating the conceptual attributes,thematic evolution,main research findings,and future development trends of administrative center relocation research.The study found that the motivations for relocating administrative centers are deeply rooted in supporting national strategic development.There is an interactive relationship between research findings and national policies,effectively promoting the deepening and expansion of the field of administrative division studies.The historical continuity and interdisciplinary nature of research on administrative center relocation provide rich perspectives and methodologies for the study.Given the differences in the stages of socioeconomic development and administrative systems between international and Chinese contexts,international experiences imply that China needs to adopt a dialectical approach based on its specific national conditions to develop a research path with distinctive Chinese characteristics.This involves critically analyzing international case studies and adapting the lessons learned to fit China's unique sociopolitical and economic landscape.In the process of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities,it is essential to strengthen the evaluation of the effects and underlying mechanisms of administrative center relocation.This includes a thorough scientific assessment of relocation plans,focusing on their feasibility,potential benefits,and risks.By employing effective administrative division measures,regional sustainable development can be promoted,and the efficiency of national spatial governance can be enhanced.The conclusions of this study can provide theoretical references and practical guidance for research on the relocation of administrative centers in China,promoting in-depth academic research and methodological innovation in this field.
