Description:

Special economic zones have experienced the development process from free ports, free trade zones to export processing zones, from single special economic zones to multi-functional comprehensive special economic zones. They are important institutional practices to promote the country's opening up. Since the reform and opening up, the special economic zones have developed vigorously in our country, and become the system experimental areas in the process of transforming from the planned economic system to the market economic system. By combing the development history of special economic zones in different countries or regions, discussing the types, characteristics and functions of special economic zones, and summarizing the development models of different types of special economic zones, this book aims to provide operational guidelines for countries at different stages of development, especially the economies along the "the Belt and Road" to establish and develop special economic zones.
