中国西部大开发中新疆的地位:一个中亚视角

A Central Asian Perspective:Xinjiang’s Position in the Western China Development Scheme

西部大开发是中国政府进入21世纪以来针对国内地区发展不平衡采取的重大战略举措,但随着东北振兴、中部崛起战略的渐次实施,地区间战略博弈不可避免,这无疑会减弱西部大开发战略的政策效用。新疆是西部大开发战略的“重中之重”,同时也是向西开放的前沿,在东部受到挤压的国际环境下,西进将成为新的国家战略重点,新疆的开发不但要关注与国内地区间的平衡,更要把握好与中亚国家间的平衡。特别是面对中亚国家较快的经济增长速度,为避免新疆掉入V型陷阱,应加大新疆沿边开发开放的力度,形成面向中亚地区的经济高地。

The Western China Development Scheme has been an important strategy against the unbalanced regional economic development in China since the 21 century.However,with revitalization of northeastern China and the rise of central China,regional strategic contests are inevitable and will no doubt diminish the effect of the Western China Development Scheme.As the key point of Western China Development and the front edge of the westward opening strategy,the development of Xinjiang should not only concern the balance between Xinjiang and other domestic areas,but also the balance between Xinjiang and Central Asian countries.To avoid falling into the V-shaped trap,especially in face of the relative rapid economic growth in Central Asian countries,there should be more efforts to develop and open up border areas in Xinjiang and make it become an economic highland of Central Asia.
