Green Growth vs. Leap-Forward Development in Less Developed Regions: A Case Study of Jiangxi Province of China

How to achieve leap-forward development under local environmental restrains and how to integrate environmental externalities in economic efficiency are crucial issues for less developed regions and countries. Contrary to most popular opinions that exploring green growth will lower economic growth rate, and even stunt economic growth in less developed regions, this case study shows that less developed regions can realize their leap forward development while exploring green growth. In this case, Jiangxi province, a less developed region of Eastern China, successfully realized its leap forward with a green growth strategy within 3 years, by correctly exploiting its regional distinctive green advantages, restructuring by precisely choosing ten green industries, and overcoming the obstacles. The restructuring and development of Jiangxi province can be a good model for other developing counties to realize their green leap-forward development.
