How did China achieve this? What are the key drivers for such a rapid growth? And most importantly, what can be learned from China's success? While many factors could be identified to explain China's success, it is no doubt that the numerous Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and industrial clusters that emerged after the country's reforms are two important engines that have been driving China's rapid development. The key experiences of China's SEZs and industrial clusters could be best summarized as:Directions in development (Washington, D.C.)Industrial clustersChinaEnterprise zonesChinaIndustrial policyChinaEconomic developmentChinaChinaEconomic policyElectronic books.Industrial clustersEnterprise zonesIndustrial policyEconomic development338.8/7Zeng Douglas Zhihua939153MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458075703321Building engines for growth and competitiveness in China2278542UNINA
