中文摘要：

培育壮大县域特色产业是中国统筹区域城乡发展的战略重点之一,研究县域特色产业也是区域可持续发展研究的重要内容。本文从理论视角、热点领域、研究方法3个方面对近年来县域特色产业研究的重点进行了梳理。县域特色产业作为区域优势和产业特点的结合产物,相关研究的理论视角基本属于人地关系地域系统的基础理论体系,同时借鉴了生态学、系统学理论观点和分析框架,为清晰刻画产业内外影响因子的共栖关系和互动效应提供了有效途径。从研究领域上看,关注点从地方经济发展到全球生产网络、从传统影响因素到新因素,与时俱进,但是宏观研究和微观研究相互脱节现象突出,在一定程度上影响了研究成果的实践指导意义。从研究方法上看,相关研究正在从以定性描述和逻辑推理为主,向定性和定量相结合的综合集成方法应用转变,但受到数据可获取性的限制,现象和变化趋势的驱动机制分析的技术方法亟待完善。

英文摘要：

Among the strategic priorities of urban and rural development in China,fostering unique industries at county level has become a hot topic in the research of regional sustainable development.In this article,we critically summarize and evaluate the key studies on unique industries at county level at home and abroad in this century from three perspectives： theoretical development,main issues and research methodologies.Theoretically,the related researches are under the umbrella of human-environmental relationship discussion,since local unique industries are deeply influenced by the regional advantage and industrial characteristics.Moreover,the theoretical framework and studies in the fields of biology and systematology provide additional enlightening perspectives to the analysis of the interaction between,and co-evolvement of,the unique industries and the influencing factors.Among them,the scholars from actor-network-theory,political ecology,industrial ecology and regional ecology provide resourceful evidence and sound arguments.The main issues in unique industries discussion expand from the local economic development to global production network,from traditional factors to new factors.However,the mismatch and disconnection between the macro-level and micro-level research have limited further development and practices of these studies to some extent.The methods applied in the unique industry research have changed from qualitative description only to the integration of qualitative and quantitative analysis.Nevertheless,due to the limitation of data collection,the research methods need to be further developed to better analyze the motivations and dynamics of unique industry development.We also find out the differences between the domestic and foreign researches.In western countries,the researches highlight the co-evolution between unique industries and regional functions from the perspectives of systematology and ecology,and focus on integration and dynamic system analysis;while in China,the researches are increasing
