自世界上最早的经济特区——意大利的里窝那港建立至今,已经历了400多年。其间,各种类型的经济特区相继出现,几乎遍布世界各个国家和地区。目前,全世界已有各种类型的经济特区600多个,其贸易额占全世界贸易总额的10％以上。苏联的经济特区建设起步很晚,至今虽只有5年多的历史,但发展速度很快,现已由理论探讨步入实践阶段。 It has been going through more than 400 years since the establishment of Livorno Port, the earliest special economic zone in the world. In the meantime, various types of special economic zones emerged one after another, covering almost all countries and regions in the world. At present, there are more than 600 special economic zones in various parts of the world whose trade volume accounts for more than 10% of the total world trade. The construction of the special economic zone in the Soviet Union started very late. Although it has only a history of more than five years, its development has been very fast. Now it has entered a practical stage through theoretical discussions.
