Regional Development in China: Transitional Institutions, Embedded Globalization, and Hybrid Economies (2007, unknown): “Since the mid-1990s, scholars have attempted to uncover sources of regional inequality, with notions of transitional institutions, multiscale and multi-mechanism, externally driven development, and place-based development et al. (e.g., Wei, 2000; Wei and Fan, 2000; Ma and Cui, 2002).”
Addressing poverty and inequality in the rural economy from a global perspective (2015, background): “In China, in particular, rural industrialisation (supported by government initiatives such as the promotion of Township and Village Enterprises) has been a major driver of reduced regional inequalities (Wei and Fan 2000).”
Institutional Innovations, Asymmetric Decentralization, and Local Economic Development: A Case Study of Kunshan, in Post-Mao China (2007, background): “... between globalization, marketization, and decentralization, such as: benefiting from the favourable macrocontexts for development provided by the centre; the locational advantage of being near Shanghai; the active role of the local leadership; and the expansion of global capitalizm seeking cheap”
Urbanization of Capital or Capitalization on Urban Land? Land Development and Local Public Finance in Urbanizing China (2011, background): “Moreover, Jiangsu is highly diversified, with significant differences between north and south.8 In fact, Jiangsu is often viewed as “two provinces in one” (Veeck, 1995, quoted from Wei and Fan, 2000, p. 458), and the intraprovincial variation of development in Jiangsu makes it a good case study.”
Dynamics, Space, and Regional Inequality in Provincial China: A Case Study of Guangdong Province (2012, background): “Many development agents in China’s regional development are actually operating at the lower levels (city or county) under provinces and their roles are likely masked by the analysis of large spatial entities such as provinces (Wei & Fan, 2000).”
BEYOND CONVERGENCE: SPACE, SCALE, AND REGIONAL INEQUALITY IN CHINA (2009, background): “Such a trend of rising inequality is somewhat different from that of Jiangsu where overall intercounty inequality declined although rural intercounty inequality intensified, led by the struggling status of SOE-dominated cities in Jiangsu, such as Wuxi (Wei & Fan 2000).”
Economic transition and urban transformation of China: The interplay of the state and the market (2015, background): “expansion of manufacturing and service activities, increasing regional disparity, the emergence of ‘new urban spaces’, and reformation of social classes (Lin, 2011; Logan, 2007; Ma and Wu, 2005; Wei and Fan, 2000; Wei et al., 2007; Yang and Yeh, 2013; Zhou and Ma, 2000).”
Beyond the Sunan Model: Trajectory and Underlying Factors of Development in Kunshan, China (2002, unknown): “Wei and Fan (2000), through a case study of Jiangsu, argue that a multitude of agents have jointly produced rapid growth in Sunan (southern Jiangsu), the core of the province.”
The spatial-temporal hierarchy of regional inequality of China (2010, background): “They represent ‘‘from above’’, ‘‘from below’’, and ‘‘from outside’’ forces of development (Wei & Fan 2000, p. 466), which have been usually interwoven.”
Economic transition and urban land expansion in Provincial China (2014, unknown): “Coincidentally , Wei and Fan (2000) suggested that the coalescence of state policy, local agents, and foreign investment had widened the historical gap between northern and southern Jiangsu, and was likely to accelerate inter-county inequality in the future.”
Geospatial Analysis of Regional Development in China: The Case of Zhejiang Province and the Wenzhou Model (2005, background): “Unlike the cases of Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces, where core-periphery structures (Sunan vs. Subei, Pearl River Delta vs. the remainder of Guangdong Province) are intensified, the traditional Northeast-Southwest divide in Zhejiang has given way to an emerging coast-interior divide.”
