Social Transition and West Development\;——Study of Western Development and Its Countermeasures from a Perspective of Theoretical Sociology

Social transformation means the transformation of social economic structure,social functioning mechanism,the change of people′s mentality and concept of values as well as doing away the old and setting up the new;therefore it is of great significance to China′s social development and modernization.But development is not balanced in different areas and regions in terms of social transformation,i.e.the east coastal areas have a faster social transformation than that in the west,which has led to a slower economic development in the western regions and a wide gap between the east and west areas.In implementing the western development strategy,we should understand well and handle appropriately the internal relations between social transformation and western development so that with social transformation as promoter,the process of social transformation in western regions will be expedited.\;
