The death of Mao Zedong signifies a change of policies in China. The balanced growth of city and countryside which occurred in the Maoist era is now replaced by a relative emphasis on an elitist urban-based development strategy which manifested itself in the establishment of the four Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in 1980. Although the utilisation of foreign capital and the import of capitalist management skills are justified by means of Lenin's theory of state capitalism, it shows that problems such as the flourishing economic crime, the creation of housing classes, and the undermining of socialist relations of production have already emerged in Shenzhen SEZ after a few years of development. In this paper it is argued that the urban-based development strategy adopted by the new leadership should not be seen as a complete break with the Maoist strategy, as suggested by the employment of the dualistic approach—the radical line versus the revisionist line—in analysing Chinese development. In fact, the establishment of the SEZs and other commensurate measures do not necessarily indicate the Chinese road to capitalism or the complete victory of Deng Xiaoping and his followers, but they reveal that their ideas and policies continue to be counteracted and modified by the legacy of the Maoist vision.

The purpose of the article is a conceptual analysis of the development of strategies for the territory development with a special economic regime. The main provisions for determining the competitive advantages of territory development are argued. The authors proceed from the hypothesis that the sustainable development of the territory is based on a single, interrelated and mutually dependent consideration of its economic, environmental and social subsystems. A schematic relationship between the territory's competitiveness, development strategy, and the competitive advantage of preferential treatment is presented. The author analyzes the choice of instruments for preferential regimes and measures to support economic activity, taking into account the peculiarities of the territory. The article considers the composition of territories with a special economic regime in the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the Russian experience of forming special economic zones with preferential regimes in the context of applying situational fragmented management. It is concluded that it is necessary to switch to strategic planning of preferential regimes in order to assess the competitiveness of territories and the possibility of achieving socio-economic goals under constantly changing external and internal conditions. The author substantiates the importance of combining the developed strategies for the development of special economic zones with regional strategies.

India has used export processing zones as a development strategy since the mid 1960s. The performance of these zones did not meet expectations and, in 2001, the government changed the rules and the name, and recast them as special economic zones. Indian special economic zone policy was formulated to facilitate the private development of big industrial townships. This is a significant departure from the typical export zone model, where governments usually develop the zone and invite entrepreneurs to start firms within it. However, the zone policy is unlikely to achieve its objective because of land acquisition problems. This paper analyses the effect of land laws such as land ceiling and land use clauses, and the political nature of land dealings in the context of special economic zone development in India, and concludes that private land acquisition is not possible with the current structure of land laws in India, and that this is a primary problem for the private development in special economic zones in India.

The deepening of economic reforms in Uzbekistan is closely linked to the strengthening of macroeconomic stability and the maintenance of high rates of economic growth and competitiveness, the continuation of institutional and structural reforms to reduce the presence of the State in the economy, and the further strengthening of the protection of rights and the priority role of private property, as reflected in the Development Strategy for 2017-2021.
