長江三角洲的迅速發展已經成為改革開放之後中國大陸經濟發展的主要表徵，然而在面對全球化的挑戰下，長江三角洲整合的問題也成為各方關注長江三角洲能否持續發展的關鍵。 本文以區域創新系統理論解析改革開放以來的長江三角洲區域經濟發展變遷，並提出對長江三角洲區域整合議題的看法。 第一章為緒論─本文簡介，介紹本文之研究動機、目的，研究方法，研究範圍及研究流程安排。 第二章為新區域主義理論及文獻評述─本文的主要理論基礎為區域創新系統，而區域創新系統屬於新區域主義的重要流派。因此針對新區域主義的源流、相關理論基礎以及發展做一評述，並歸結出新區域主義重要的三個特色：在地化的地域空間與產業組織─地理空間；產業群聚與生產網絡的形成─網絡；區域發展的絕對優勢─創新。 第三章為區域創新系統理論─區域創新系統是新區域主義理論當中，結合空間、網絡、創新的重要流派，本章從創新理論到創新如何影響地理空間與產業的轉型，歸納出區域創新系統的立論基礎、結構、以及在方法論上的重要意義。 第四章為長江三角洲區域發展─應用區域創新系統理論作為分析框架，對於長江三角洲自改革開放以後的發展進行分析。 長江三角洲區域創新系統主要的特色在於地方政府治理性格上的差異性，以及地方廠商與產業的發展模式與專業市場，這些現象的產生都與地方背景與環境有關。研究建議，長江三角洲整合的目標應該是市場化、促進區域內網絡的交流以及持續產業群聚的發展。 / The rapidly development of Yanzi River Delta has become one of the main characteristics of China economic reform. Under the trend of globalization, the regional integration issues about this area has also become a main perspective whether Yanzi River Delta could ever continually develop. In this article, we use “Regional innovation system” to analyse the economic development and evolution of Yanzi River Delta, thus providing some perspectives of regional integration of Yanzi River Delta under the basis of our analysis. The first chapter is introduction, we introduce our motivation, the main purposes, the research methods and tools, the definitions, the arrangement and the process of the reasearch. The second chapter is concept backgound; we introduce and generalize the theory of New Regionalism. New Regionalism has been recognaized as the oringin of regional innovation system. New Regionalism is also the main stream in nowtime economic geography. We introduce its development, theory basis, and related theories development. We conclude that New Regionalism has three main pillar: localized geographical space, industry networks, and innovation. The third chapter is the introdcution of theory; we sum up the development, the structrue, and the methodology of regional innovation system. The fouth chapter is the analysis; we use regional innovation as framework to analyze the development and evolution of Yanzi River Delta afer the China economic reform began. The fifth chapter is the conclusion; the main characteristics of Yanzi River Delta is the defferent governence of local governments; the clusters, develop patterns and local market of local industries. These developments were highly influenced by local context. And we sujest the main objects of regional integration in this area is common market, the developments of regional networks, and industrial clusters.
