中文摘要：

由于研究思维方式和经济活动空间格局形成机理不同,有些国家可以形成富有国家特色的经济地理学。反映发展中大国快速发展的经济地理特殊事实并给出不同于西方发达国家的理论解释,基于地理科学的研究框架并吸纳经济学的相关理论,强调中国特殊的政治制度和文化传统对经济地理现象的重要影响,可构成中国特色经济地理学构建的三个重要基点。在此基础上,中国特色经济地理学在研究中重视学科的地理学属性,重视国家需求导向,重视经济发展和区域协调,重视人地和谐。对中国独特的经济地理现象的深入研究,有利于凝聚理论创新。

英文摘要：

Economic geography as a field of research in a country can formulate a specific paradigm when the research logics and the mechanisms of the formation of spatial economic structure are different from others. Economic geography with Chinese characteristics has three major foundations. Firstly, it presents the economic geographical facts along with its long-last fast development in the past three decades which may be explained by alternative theoretical theories outside the theory from the western developed countries. Secondly, economic geography in China is regarded as sub-discipline in geography rather than a field of social science in most western countries. And finally, it emphasizes the effects of Chinesespecific political systems and cultural background on economic geographical phenomena. This particular family of economic geography values the inherent geographical component, the requirements and guidance of the governments,economic development and regional balance, and the harmonious development of man and land.
