Energizing China: Reconciling Environmental Protection and Economic Growth

In this note, I address two frontiers where we, as regional scientists, can raise the visibility and impact of regional science and enlarge the community of scholars in our fold. The first is the resurgence of regionalism as a phenomenon and policy arena. My argument here is that many politicians, practitioners and citizens are actively debating the health and future of metropolitan regions, but we are not playing the intellectual role that we could be. The second frontier involves expanding the interdisciplinary reach of regional science towards the "softer" social and policy sciences, especially in the direction of sociology, political science, and city and regional planning. My argument here is that our tools of analysis, especially our understanding of agents and institutions, would be more powerful if amplified by selected contributions from neighboring fields. JEL classification: A11, A12, R1, R58 The resurgence of regionalismWhat is happening in the real world of regions? Regional questions have been driven to the forefront after two decades of relative retreat. During the 1970s in the US, Europe and elsewhere, issues of differential regional growth rates and industrial restructuring propelled movements towards the development of regional redistributive policies, struggles over infrastructure placement, and revenue-sharing
