Abstract Spatial production theory reveals the essence and reasons of spatial process. Therefore, it starts spatial turn of postmodern geography and becomes an important tool to analyze and understand the spatial phenomenon. Under globalization and increasingly competitive environment, spatial production relations of economy and society transfer from city scale to regional scale. Regions become the space for assembling and combining of capital and factors, as well as for production increase. Therefore, spatial production relations of regions are established. In this paper, the authors put forward the concept of "regional spatial production" in which the traditional spatial production theory evolves from urban aspect to regional aspect. The authors point out that regional spatial production relation will lead to the forming of relations of new regional cooperative governance. And the change of new regional spatial production relations causes the disassembly of the original relations of regional cooperative governance. The research provides a case study of Jinjiang Park, Jiangjin Economic Development Zone. The result shows that any regional cooperative governance relation is a special system, which should be formed based on spatial production relations of multi-beneficiaries under the special spatial background. The essence of its establishment is to promote the realization of special regional spatial production relations and the increase of economic capital. Therefore, the regional cooperative governance system with the background of globalization does not have the characteristics of stability and reproducibility.
