Analysis of the Higher Education Research in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region:A Comparative Perspective Based on Three Major Economic Circles in China

Drawing on literature regarding higher education research retrieved from the CNKI database from 1997 to 2021,this paper used CiteSpace to analyze the current status of higher education research in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.By comparing it with that in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,and the Yangtze River Delta,this paper concluded that the level of higher education research within a region is in line with the level of the region’s economic and social development.As higher education research in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle draws more and more attention,its research areas and topics are becoming increasingly diversified.However,by comparison,the research in this region features a late start and lower participation of researchers and research institutions,resulting in insufficient research in both quantity and quality.Therefore,it is essential to encourage more experts and scholars to participate in higher education research in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.Efforts should also be made to strengthen academic exchanges and cooperation between scholars in Chengdu and Chongqing and establish a long-term cooperation mechanism for higher education research between the two cities.Improved higher education research will definitely facilitate the construction of first-class universities,thus providing human capital and intellectual support for the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.

Theory and Promotion Strategy of Integrated Development for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

The Guangdong-HonggKong-Macao Greater Bay Area comprises a region aleconomyencom passing ninecities located in the Pearl River Delta region,in addition to the two special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao.The process of regional economic integration within the Guangdong-HonggKong-Macao Greater Bay Area traces its origins back to the commencement of China's reform and opening up policies in 1978.It evolves from an initially spontaneous collaborative model,where front-end commercial activities are paired with rearend manufacturing facilities,to a deliberate form of collaboration underpinned by institutional interventions.This paper examines the fundamental characteristics of the regional economic integration within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.It specifically delves into an extensive analysis of the construction and development of this area.The discussion encompasses four significant theoretical and practical facets that shape the progresss of the Greater BayArea's construction.These aspects include the synchronization of market integration within the Greater Bay Area,the harmonization of institutional frameworks,the convergence of the eastern and western sections of the Pearl River Estuary,and the amalgamation of regional innovations.Furthermore,the paper engages in an exploration of strategies designed to propel the advancement of the Greater Bay Area's development.These strategies encompass collaborative initiatives,such as the joint development of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong adjacent region,the cooperative advancement of Hengqin Island by Zhuhai and Macao,the approach to integrating adjacent areas,and the interlock strategy aiming to connect the two pivotal urban centers of Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
