Abstract:China’s regional coordinated development strategy has obvious differences in different stages of evolution. Identifying and analyzing these differences is of great significance to solving China’s unbalanced and insufficient development problems. Combining the three core elements (value, power, and embeddedness) and two dimensions (institution and network) of the Global Production Network (GPN) framework, the study sorts out the strategic evolution, influencing factors, performance evaluation and policy design of coordinated regional development. The regional coordinated development strategy has been adjusted during the evolution process due to changes in development goals at different periods, leading to differentiated value production. The fundamental reason lies in the sequence of economic activities and the differentiation of the combination of related elements. The influencing factors of regional coordinated development mainly come from three aspects: economic development, institutional arrangements and environmental conditions. The performance evaluation standards for regional coordinated development are different, but they focus on the changes in the regional economic gap and the study of the degree of coordination between different dimensions such as economy, society, and ecology. The policy design for regional coordinated development mainly includes system design, institutional design and network design. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the empirical research on the influencing factors of different actors participating in the process of coordinated regional development, the research on the coordinated development model of inter-provincial border areas, and the research on the evaluation mechanism of regional coordinated development policies.
