Abstract: Globalization, market reforming and the gradual change of right decentralization system have constructed a highly competitive environment among Chinese local governments, and produced a unique “Competitive Regional Governance” (CMRG) pattern. By taking the Yangtze River delta as a case research area, this paper discusses CMRG′s operation mechanism, features and some patterns. Based on the summary of five patterns of CMRG that have appeared in the Yangtze River delta, the paper reveals that in the gradual reform, CMRG′s contents, types, means, and patterns are also in the process of continuous evlolution and updating. Meanwhile, it points out that the overall tendency of Chinese socioeconomic development will fundamentally affect CMRG′s form and evolution process. Finally, this paper makes a prospective for CMRG′s future development, which mainly focuses on such three trends as ① network of management, ② from direct control to multipattern influence, and ③ gradual establishment of partner relationship among multiunits.
