| description |
Special economic zones can be an
effective instrument to promote industrialization if
implemented properly in the right context. In China,
starting in the 1980s, special economic zones were used as a
testing ground for the country's transition from a
planned to a market economy, and they are a prime example of
China's pragmatic and experimental approach to reforms.
One of the great special economic zone success stories in
China is the Suzhou Industrial Park, a modern industrial
township developed in the early 1990s through a
Sino-Singapore partnership. It is successful not just in the
economic sense, but also in terms of urban and social
development in an eco-friendly way. One key lesson is that
in a weak market environment, a facilitating and
reform-oriented host government, coupled with foreign
expertise and knowledge as well as a "whole value
chain" approach can go a long way in developing
urban-industry well-integrated special economic zones. This
paper is intended to examine the success factors and key
lessons of the Sino-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park, which
can be useful for other developing countries. |
