Preface
Studies on China’s Special Economic Zones was inaugurated in 2008 at the China
Center for Chinese Special Economic Zone Research, Shenzhen University,
a Ministry of Education-designated key humanities and social sciences research
base. Professor Yuan Yiming of the Center was the founding chief editor of the
journal, a yearly publication. After eight editions, Studies on China’s Special
Economic Zones is now available in full text in the Chinese National Knowledge
Infrastructure (CNKI) database, a testament to its excellence as an academic serial
publication.
The establishment of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) is now recognized as a
worldwide phenomenon that plays a significant role in the process of economic
takeoff and development. Many developing countries are seeking to adopt the
development path that features SEZ as a part of its core strategy, and China has
much to share with them about its successful experiences with SEZ development.
Atthisjournal,wearecommittedtobringingourreadersthelatestresearchfindings
on both theoretical and practical SEZ-related issues, in Shenzhen and beyond. We
also publish studies of other countries’ experience in this area and what China’s
ownSEZdevelopmentpathmeansfortherestoftheworld.Wewantthejournalto
become a premium platform for international exchange on this important topic.
Studies on China’s Special Economic Zones is the only academic journal in China
devoted entirely to SEZ studies and is international in its editorial orientation.

tions such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank but also
government officials as well as scholars from 13 emerging economies, including
