Abstract

This research endeavors to uncover the driving mechanism of cultural identity in transnational cooperation, taking the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City as a prime example. By formulating a "common interests-identity recognition “analytical framework and integrating embeddedness theory, it explores how Confucian culture propels bilateral cooperation through institutional and cultural embedding via qualitative analysis and case studies. The results indicate that Confucian cultural elements have fostered value consensus and interest resonance in green energy and the circular economy. Theoretically, by combining Cultural Gene Theory with embeddedness theory, this study constructs a three-dimensional framework of "cultural identity-institutional innovation-interest expansion," rectifying the oversight of cultural factors in traditional rationalist research. Practically, it extracts a collaborative innovation model of "cultural genes-institutional embedding," providing an Eastern governance paradigm for global green economic cooperation. Experiences in the Eco-City can be replicated in culturally similar countries along the Belt and Road, facilitating the resolution of cross-national cooperation challenges.
