The Research Process and Prospects of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership:Visual Analysis Based on CiteSpace
Based on CSSCI(Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index)data from 2012 to 2022,bibliometric analysis was conducted on the research field of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP)using CiteSpace and Bicomb software.The results indicate that RCEP research can be divided into three stages,including slow progress,smooth transition,and accelerated development.The core authors and publishing institutions in the RCEP field are generally scattered and partially concentrated,without establishing a broad network of cooperative relationships.The research hotspots mainly focus on three aspects:country and regional research,value chain,trade methods,and impacts.Therefore,future research directions should closely focus on the RCEP rules and policies,and actively explore the path arrangements for China to deepen regional economic cooperation under the RCEP framework.
