Accordingly, this book focuses on Tibet -- an autonomous region in the far west of China -- as the subject of an in-depth case study, highlighting its unique geopolitical and socioeconomic features and external and boundary conditions. China's great diversity in terms of physical geography, resource endowment, political economy, and ethnicity and religion has posed challenges to the studies of spatial and interprovincial issues. Indeed, the Chinese nation is far too huge and spatially diverse to be easily interpreted. The only feasible approach to analyzing it is, therefore, to divide it into smaller geographical elements so as to arrive at better insights into the country's spatial mechanisms and regional characteristics. In this context, the book combines analytic and narrative approaches. 000752157 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed October 22, 2015) 000752157 650_0 $$aRegional planning$$zChina. 000752157 650_0 $$aRegional planning$$zChina$$zTibet Autonomous Region. 000752157 651_0 $$aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$$xForeign relations$$zChina. 000752157 651_0 $$aChina$$xForeign relations$$zChina$$zTibet Autonomous Region. 000752157 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGuo, Rongxing$$tChina's Regional Development and Tibet$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore,c2015$$z9789812879561 000752157 852__ $$bebk 000752157 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-287-958-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000752157 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:752157$$pGLOBAL_SET 000752157 980__ $$aEBOOK 000752157 980__ $$aBIB 000752157 982__ $$aEbook 000752157 983__ $$aOnline 000752157 994__ $$a92$$bISE
