Abstract

This paper introduces social preference theory into the research of horizontal intergovernmental relationship in Mega-region in order to better reveal the micro motivations of local governments in forming the intergovernmental relationship during regional integration process. Through model construction, we argue that local government not only stand on their local interests, but also have specific social preferences (“sense of ownership” and “political reputation”) when choosing their interactive game strategy to compete or cooperate during the regional integration process within Mega-region, and there exists some social factors influencing the strength of social preferences. We also make a case study on the regional integration process of Yangtze River Delta to prove our hypothesis.
