Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the progress in regional development research both domestically and internationally. Regional development issues are broad and profound socio-economic problems, and they are important subjects of study in economics, regional science, and geography. Research on regional development has a long history, and international progress in this field includes topics such as international trade and interregional division of labor, location theory, regional policies, industrial structure, spatial structure, macro-regional development and economic growth mechanisms, new theories on national competitive advantage research, and two methodological approaches to regional development research.
