Abstract:

This article starts from the concept of western 'urban entrepreneurialism,' denoted by an ideology of regional governance within the active intervention of socioeconomic affairs and pursuits of local economic elevation. It discusses the differences among new urban managerialism, city diplomacy, intrapreneurialism and state entrepreneurialism in regional governance. By employing an analytical lens from the state, space, and territory, this article aims to objectify the adaptability of 'urban entrepreneurialism' in Chinese regional governance, furthermore, to localise this theory with Chinese characteristics. This study substantiates the conceptual debates through a case study of Quzhou Inno-industiral Park (QIIP), an enclave industrial park in Zhejiang. It intends to unfold the process of the stepwise transition of regional governance value within the context of multi-level states. This article, therefore, argues that the above four modalities of urban entrepreneurialism are incapable of portraying the regional governance landscapes through the investigation of dynamics of governance objectives change. Regional governance toolkits adopted in different stages unpacks the changes of roles for the multi-level states on territorial governance. The essence of regional governance lies in the formulation of effective development strategy that meet the demand of regional development. Based on this, this article concludes with the following: ① Regional governance is adjusted in stages with the transformation of socioeconomic backdrops; ② The regulation flexibility for regions plays an important role in adjustment of the development pathays and the space production in the process of urban entrepreneurialism;③ The phased transformation shows that Chinese modality of regional governance are not contingent on practical instruments, but based on the socioeconomic performances of city regions.

摘要：

城市企业家精神是区域治理中地方政府主动干预社会经济运行、促进地方发展的动机性概念。文章从城市企业家精神的概念本源出发，首先讨论区域治理中新城市管理主义、城市外交、内部企业主义与国家企业家精神的差别，进而引入国家、空间、领土3个分析维度，讨论城市企业家精神在中国的适用性及其中国化内涵。通过对浙江省衢州海创园的实证研究，揭示浙江省、杭州市与衢州市政府在推进这一“创新型反向飞地”建设、招商和运营中采取的治理措施，分析多层级政府的治理价值取向随发展阶段而逐步转变的过程。研究指出，中国的城市企业家精神存在阶段性转化特征；上述4种城市企业家精神仅能用于刻画地方政府的阶段性角色，不同阶段的区域治理过程中体现了政府、属地以及管辖权的变化，而区域治理的核心价值在于为当前发展阶段的城市-区域制定最为有效的发展方案。基于此，研究表明：①区域治理随着社会经济结构发生转变而进行阶段性的调整；②区域治理弹性在城市企业家精神的转变过程中起到了修正发展方向、调整空间生产关系的重要作用；③阶段性转化表现出中国在区域治理中不拘泥于形式、工具和手段的价值取向。
