作为中国海外投资的新模式和东道国工业化、城镇化的增长极，中国海外经济贸易合作区（OETCZ）或海外自由经济区（OFEZ）在“一带一路”倡议中发挥着重要作用。随着人们对OETCZ的关注越来越多，关于OETCZ的研究也越来越多。然而，缺乏对该课题进展、挑战和未来方向的研究。本文在国内外研究的基础上，对“一带一路”沿线经济技术开发区的相关文献进行了系统梳理。结果表明，与国外研究相比，国内研究在收集的文献中所占比例较大。跨学科研究重点包括分类视角下的归纳案例研究、基于文化与制度视角下的演绎研究、基于国际贸易与区域经济视角下的贸易网络与双边贸易关系研究、基于城市规划视角下的空间规划研究、以及基于地缘政治与国际政治视角下的海外评论与日本与新加坡海外园区早期研究。尽管研究内容丰富，进展迅速，但目前与oetz相关的研究仍存在局限，包括对其机制的探索不足、国外学者的质疑和关注、可持续发展等问题。未来的研究应拓宽和深化研究视野，包括将“海外自由经济区”作为一个总称来涵盖所有其他类型的经济试验区，研究东道国的基本条件，探索中国经济试验区背后的理论问题，对经济试验区的管理结构、盈利模式、环境标准和法律制度等进行比较研究，以及国际上普遍质疑的问题。
As a new mode for Chinese overseas investment and a growth pole for industrialization and urbanization of the host countries, the overseas economic and trade cooperation zone (OETCZ) or overseas free economic zone (OFEZ) of China plays an important role under the Belt and Road Initiative. With the rising attention on OETCZ, studies regarding OETCZ have also increased. However, there is a lack of studies reviewing this topic’s progress, challenges and future directions. This paper employs a systematic review to examine the literature on the OETCZ along the Belt and Road, based on domestic and overseas studies. The results show that domestic studies account for a large proportion of the collected literature, compared to overseas studies. Interdisciplinary research focus includes inductive case studies from a classification perspective, deductive studies based on cultural and institutional perspectives, trade network and bilateral trade relations based on the perspectives of international trade and regional economy, spatial planning studies from urban planning perspective, and overseas comments and earlier studies on Japan’s and Singapore’s overseas parks from the geopolitical and international political perspectives. Despite diverse research contents and dramatic progress, limitations exist in current OETCZ-related studies, including a lack of exploration of the mechanism, questions and concerns from overseas scholars, sustainable development and other problems. Future studies should broaden and deepen research insights, including the “overseas free economic zones (OFEZ)” as a general designation to cover all other types of OETCZs, studies on the primary conditions of host countries, exploration of the theoretical issues behind China’s OETCZ, comparative study of OETCZs such as management structures, profit models, environmental standards and legal systems as well as popular issues questioned internationally.
