Abstract: Su X. Multi-scalar regionalization, network connections and the development of Yunnan Province, China, Regional Studies . Taking China's Yunnan Province as a study case, this paper analyses the network connections that undergird regional development and how the Yunnan provincial government builds these connections to facilitate multi-scalar regionalization. It is argued that Yunnan's multi-scalar regionalization should not be perceived as a process of inevitable diffusion from the established centres, but as a dynamic process of place-making that entails an assemblage of state institutions and enterprises at various scales. It expands the literature on regional development and sheds light on how China's less developed regions struggle to improve their competitiveness in relation to an increasingly globalized economy.
