"Mountain-Sea Cooperation":A Chinese-style System of Regional Coordinated Development
The system of"mountain-sea cooperation"began in Fujian Province,was further developed in Zhejiang Prov-ince,and was then expanded throughout the whole country.It is also part of China's long-term historical practice of rebal-ancing regional economic and social development.There are three stages in the development of"mountain-sea coopera-tion":local policy exploration,regional overall implementation,and national institutionalization.These have the charac-teristics of focalization,systematicness,and integrity,respectively.Although China's"mountain-sea cooperation"system is different from the western intergovernmental cooperation,it includes a mechanism arrangement of goal-embedding,con-tent-symbiosis,and multi role collaboration that is the foundation for intergovernmental integration with Chinese character-istics.The system of"mountain-sea cooperation"eliminates the"Matthew effect"of regional development under the mar-ket mechanism and delivers resilience and vitality.In the future,the system of"mountain-sea cooperation"needs further innovation based on the actual situation in the nation's regions,pay more attention to the changes in the connotation of"mountain-sea"and the new needs of the digital age,and deepen theoretical research.
