• “OPEN DOORS POLICY” IN THE CROSS-BORDER REGIONS OF THE PRC

  The article analyzes the experience of China that launched in 1980s the programme of cross-border cooperation by creating special conditions for economic management in cross-border zones and achieved considerable results on this path. N.Ryzhova gives a detailed analysis of the four components of China’s “open doors” policy (normalization of political relations with neighbouring states; creation of favourable psychological climate within the country; promotion of cross-border complementarity, development of industries oriented at the markets of neighbouring countries; support to any, including non-institutionalized, forms of trade as far as they help to achieve the goals set) and assumes that the rapid economic advance in cross-border regions of the PRC is to a large extent determined by a wise policy of the Chinese leadership.
