My thesis is titled as ‘The State (re)Production of Scale A Case Study of Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone, China’, by which you may find the content deals with the scale theory and economic zones of China. I hope such research will contribute to enrich the process-based approach of scale jumping and present an ongoing institutional test on the ‘enclave economic development model’.

Most of my time was spent in students’ office, and the most impressive memory was reading hundreds of paper and books to figure out what is scale and how it works, which took me almost one year’s time. Yet now I’d like to say, it’s all worth it! Such accumulation of knowledge has helped me a lot in both doing research and developing ways of thinking.
