Study on the Spatial"Governance Magic Cube"for the Mohan-Boten Cross-Border Economic Cooperation Zone
摘要
Abstract
Cross-border economic cooperation zones are vital platforms for China's economic and trade engagement with neighboring countries.It is imperative to clarify their spatial governance mechanisms to promote high-quality regional development and foster dual domestic–international circulation.Grounded in the theoretical perspective of new regionalism,this article constructs an analytical framework called the"Governance Magic Cube"to examine the governance mechanisms of cross-border economic cooperation zones.The framework explores four interrelated dimensions:spatial scale,governance evolution,multi-actor participation,and development effects.Taking the Mohan-Boten Cross-border Economic Cooperation Zone as a case study,this study conducted an empirical analysis of its spatial transformation,institutional restructuring,and actor interactions.Based on the policy milestones represented by the 2015 Joint Master Plan and the 2022 administrative transfer to Kunming,this study divides the Cooperation Zone's development trajectory into three stages:local,national,and international.Through semi-structured interviews,land-use data analysis,and multi-source documentary materials,the study provides an integrated interpretation of the zone's spatial dynamics and governance logic.The findings indicate that:1)Spatial scale:The Mohan–Boten Cooperation Zone has undergone a substantive leap from a"marginal border port"to an"international node."Its spatial structure,initially characterized by a linear"corridor-style"pattern extending along the Kunming–Bangkok Highway,with the twin ports of Mohan and Boten as core anchors,is now evolving toward a more networked,accelerated spatial configuration.2)Governance evolution:The cooperation zone has experienced a progressive shift from"locally led experimentation"to"national strategic coordination,"and eventually toward"transnational nested collaboration."Through policy trial and error,institutional adjustment,and the consolidation of regulatory rules,a temporally nested governance mechanism has gradually emerged,facilitating a fundamental transformation in cross-border governance from administrative segmentation to institutional integration.3)Multi-actor participation:The governance model has shifted from a single government-led approach to a more interactive configuration involving multiple actors,including national authorities,local governments,enterprises,and social organizations.This shift has led to an increasingly diverse and dynamic cross-border governance system,where inter-organizational collaboration has become more complex,fluid,and multidirectional.4)Development effects:The cooperation zone has strengthened its role as a strategic hub within national and international networks by promoting the coordinated upgrading of industrial chains and efficient allocation of resources.As a result,it is steadily evolving into a key platform linking regional development with institutional innovation.Overall,the study argues that cross-border economic cooperation zones operate as open systems shaped by spatial proximity,institutional forces,and social networks.Their governance mechanisms exhibit phased transitions,structural reconfiguration,and actor collaboration emerging from the synergistic interaction of spatial expansion,institutional restructuring,and multi-actor engagement.This study enriches research on cross-border regional governance and offers new insights into the evolutionary pathways of such zones under multi-scale,multi-actor conditions.In practice,it highlights the need to strengthen coordination among spatial planning,institutional alignment,industrial organization,and social governance,and to promote a shift from infrastructure-driven growth to institutional synergy and functional deepening,thereby enhancing the strategic role of cooperation zones within China's broader opening-up framework.关键词
