【摘要】Understanding city-regionalism in China: regional cooperation   in the Yangtze River Delta. Regional Studies. China has witnessed the   orchestration of city-regionalism and two different regional-scale mechanisms   have influenced this integration and cooperation: the top-down state-mandated   process and the bottom-up process initiated by local governments. However,   this has not been a smooth process and it is shaped by the internal politics   generated by China's state configurations. Using the Yangtze River Delta as a   case study, this paper argues that China's territorial administrative   divisions are a historical configuration that is essential to understand the   efforts to construct city-regions as well as to understand the failure to   create a new sub-national state space.
