Of the 20th century,90 years, accompanied by the rapid development of advanced and new tech that the center was information technology revolution, economic globalization has been sweeping. Economic globalization is an important feature of economic development in the world, but also an important trend, and it has brought various unprecedented opportunities of development for economic integration of China's policy development in key region. These opportunities include:taking advantage of foreign investment, introducing advanced management theory and experience to realize management innovation; receiving the labor-intensive industries and the related production processes of developed countries in a relatively high technical level to speed up the process of regional industrialization and promote the optimization and upgrading of regional industrial structure; taking part in the international division of labor, and giving full play their real and potential comparative advantages to actively expand foreign markets; developing advanced-new-tech industries to actively play the advantages of late-development to achieve the regional economy by leaps and bounds.Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992 the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development and the General Assembly adopted the "Global Sustainable Development Strategy"-"21st Century Agenda ", and requires States to work out their own "national sustainable development strategies" in accordance with their national conditions. China's central government issued the first national "Sustainable Development Strategy"-"21st Century Population, Environment and Development White Paper" in 1994. In order to fully implement "sustainable development strategy", "sustainable development", "scientific development", "recycling economy" and "priority zones" have been written into national "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", the CPC 17th Party Congress, the State "Twelfth Five-Year Plan ", the central government work report and the relevant laws and administrative regulations. Since reform and opening, China experienced 6 major adjustments of domestic regional development policy in which appeared successively in "the Sixth Five-Year" (1981-1985) period, "the Seventh Five-Year" (1986-1990) period, "the Augustth Five-Year" (1991-1995) period, "the Ninth Five-Year" (1996-2000) period, "the Tenth Five" (2001-2005) period and " the Eleventh Five-Year " (2006-2010) period. Currently, China's central government is designing the regional development policies in the "Twelfth Five" (2011-2015). In October 2010, CPC Central Committee "on National Economic and Social Development Twelfth Five-Year Plan's recommendations" suggested that it should be made "to implement the overall strategy for regional development and the strategy for main functional areas, and to build pattern of regional development that regional economic advantages are complementary, and orientation of the main function is clear, land space is efficient used, and human being and nature commonly live in harmony, and to realize progressively equalization of basic public services among different regions ".In the above context, this article applied the combination of research methods that include theoretical analysis and empirical analysis, qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, historical enumeration and real analysis to have firstly established the theoretical basis, evaluation tools and analysis tools for research on the development of regional economy integration from the foundation theory, the core concept of connotation, the basic requirements, index evaluation, institutional framework, etc. according to "the Pearl River Delta" as one of "China's economically developed regions, then to have evaluated and analyzed the present situation and problems and the existing mechanism on the development of regional economy integration in the "Pearl River Delta", and on this basis, to have discussed its strategies. This article's content was divided into 7 chapters.Chapter 1, Introduction. Includes:research background; related studies Comments - study abroad, domestic study, overall evaluation; study area and analysis units; study significance; technical line, structure and methods; main innovations and inadequate.Chapter 2, foundation theory of the development of regional economy integration. Includes:regional economic location choice theory - Industrial location theory, urban location theory, market location theory; regional economic division and collaboration theory - cost theory, factor endowment theory, technology gap theory; regional economic space evolution theory-growth pole theory, polarization theory, "inverted U" theory, integration stage theory.Chapter 3, the content, requirements and evaluation on the development of regional economy integration. Includes:the concept of connotation - region, regional economy, regional economy integration, regional economy integration within a country; basic requirements - breakthrough to ideas and zoning, content regulations ("four integration"), ultimate target; Index evaluation - selecting of Indicators system, computing of data standardization, computing of evaluation indices.Chapter 4, analysis of the mechanism of the development of regional economy integration. Include:mechanism framework - mechanism content, mechanism framework; market mechanism - meaning of market mechanism, roles of market mechanism, defects of market mechanism; government machinery meaning of government mechanism, roles of government mechanism, defects of government mechanism; organizational mechanisms- meaning of organization mechanism, roles of organizational mechanisms, defects'of organizational mechanisms.Chapter 5, evaluation on the status and problems of the development of regional economy integration in the Pearl River Delta. Include:adjustments of integrated development space - focusing on the development of the provincial capital, giving priority to the development of "Special Zone", giving priority to the development of "Economic Zone", extending of "Economic Zone"; network of infrastructure facilities - network of transportation facilities, network of information facilities; mobility of production factors - labor mobility, capital flows, technology flows; layout of industrial activities - layout of the first industry, layout of the second industry and layout of the third industry; ecological environment protection; total evaluation on integration level.Chapter 6, analysis on the existing mechanism of the development of regional economy integration in the Pearl River Delta. Include:market mechanisms empirical analysis of agglomeration effect and diffusion effect, analysis of structural effect, main defect; government mechanism - planning of integrated development, construction of infrastructure facilities, leading of factor mobility, adjustment of industrial layout, governance of ecological environment, main defect; organization mechanism-participation in development decision-making, two-way transmission of information, coordination of interests of all parties, monitoring government action, main defect.Chapter 7, discussion on the practical significance and strategies of the development of regional economy integration in the Pearl River Delta. Include:the practical significance of integration development; foreign strategically model and inspiration; thinking of strategies of integration development - sorting out the general idea of regional economy integration, establishing the management institutions of regional economy integration, grasping the regional differentiation pattern and functional orientation, reconstructing regional economy integration mechanism, coordinating regional elements and industrial layout, strengthening infrastructure construction and environmental protection amongst districts.The study concluded that with the succession of the policy priority space from the provincial capital, then to the economic zone, and finally to the big economic zone, the development trend of economic integration is being showed in "the Pearl River Delta"; Because the basic role of market mechanisms is being enlarged, and the promoting role of government mechanisms is being enhanced, and the synergistic role of organization mechanisms is being highlighted involved, infrastructure, mobility of production factors, layout of industrial activities and environmental protection in the "Pearl River Delta" have reached a unprecedented level; However, the market mechanism, government mechanisms and organizational mechanisms exist to some of the defects that need to be made up for, and for infrastructure networks, mobile of production factors, layout of industrial activities and environmental protection, the gap is significant between the core economic units and the outside units in "the Pearl River Delta", so the level of economic integration is still in the low state of development; Quickly and effectively to promote the regional economy integration in "Pearl River Delta", its practical significance must be clear, and combined with the revelation from foreign policy model of regional economy integration, regional economy integration strategy "Pearl River Delta" should be effectively developed and implemented.The main innovations of this article as follows:First, in the research perspective, on development of regional economy integration, the status and the problems is as effect evaluation object, the roles and defects of market mechanism, government mechanisms and organizational mechanisms is as causes of effect, and according to the structure and function idea about "1+1> 2", forward strategy was discussed. Second, in theory and research framework, on the development of regional economy integration, theoretical basis was clarified, and content and requirements were has defined, evaluation index system was constructed. In a word, theoretical basis, assessment tools and analysis tools was be established. Third, in empirical research, according to the theoretical basis, evaluation tools and analysis tools, the development of regional economy integration in "Pearl River Delta" was evaluated and anal sized, its forward strategy was discussed in the methods of combination of quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis, of combination of history lists and reality analysis.Theoretical significance of this article as follows:First, to a certain extent, it could fill the current domestic defects in the study of development of regional economy integration, such as theoretically inadequate support, relatively simple analysis (or more emphasis on qualitative description), narrow viewing angle; Second, to some extent, it could fill current defects that the regional economy integration theory is not complete. Theory on the development of cross-national regional economy integration (different political system) is more perfect, but theory on the development of regional economy integration within a country (same political system) is relatively lack; Third, to a certain extent, it could fill the vacuity in the integrity of research at home and abroad on the development of regional economy integration within a country. For the integration mechanism, only to see the role of market and government, but not see the collaboration functions of civil society organization.Practical significance of this article as follows:First, it could provide a reference for the Guangdong Province about concrete realization of the development of regional economy integration in the Pearl River Delta; Second, it could provide a reference of related research and decision-making for other domestic provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the realization of internal development of regional economy integration; Third, it could provide a reference of related research and decision-making for the central government, such as "Greater Pearl River Delta" economic integration, "Pan-Pearl River Delta" economic integration ", economically coordinated development amongst Eastern, Central and West in China, " Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan" economic Integration, "China - ASEAN" economic integration.
