Abstract：Regional policy is the important tool that can be used by the government to adjust regional economic spatial structure and promote the balanced development of regional economy. With the help of CiteSpaces’s knowledge map，a total of 496 papers in CNKI database and 305 papers in the ISI Web of Knowledge database core collection of journal articles are selected as research objects to carry out keyword clustering analysis and mutation analysis，and compare domestic and foreign regional policy research institutions，authors，research hot spots and implementation situation. It is found that：there are some differences in research subject；the research hot spots and trends are different at home and abroad，and the implication of foreign regional policy pays more attention to policy thinking，target formulation，legal support，regional segmentation，and operational mechanism. To improve the effectiveness of Chinese regional policy implementation and research，we should accelerate regional policy research，especially regional policy evaluation research，with the help of quantitative statistics and modeling analysis，give full play to the guidance role of regional policy theory on practice，and improve the effectiveness of Chinese regional policy implementation by scientific and standardized regional segmentation， institution setting up， and the formulation and implementation of policy laws and regulations.
