Abstract

GONZALEZ GARCIA, Juan  and  MEZA LORA, José Salvador. Shenzhen, zona económica especial: bisagra de la apertura económica y el desarrollo regional chino. Prob. Des [online]. 2009, vol.40, n.156, pp.101-124. ISSN 0301-7036.

This study analyzes the recent phenomenon of special economic zones (SEZ) in the world. It presents the case of Shenzhen, a city in Guangdong, in the People's Republic of China (PRC), because a more successful result has been achieved there in the strategy of neo-institutional economic reform and the external opening of that country in the last three decades. This result indicates the articulation of a gradual and long-term strategy, which has enabled China to insert itself successfully into the international economy. In contrast, the case of Mexico is studied, a nation which has pursued a type of economic reform and external opening without the expected economic and regional results. We therefore conclude that it is necessary to understand the case of the so-called SEZ if a strategy similar to China's is to be embarked upon.

Keywords : economic development; SEZ; external opening; economic reform; State; market and regional development.
