Region jako podmiot współczesnej polityki rozwoju regionalnego
Region as a Subject of the Contemporary Policy of Regional Development

Summary/Abstract: The evolution of regional development regulations and goals evokes academic and ideological dispute over the essence of a region in regional policy. It provides the context for the presented considerations whose goal is to determine the extent to which the perception of a region as a subject in the regional development policy changes. The paper demonstrates the stable and changeable elements of regions’ identification in relation to the current processes and determinants of regional development. The analysis of source literature and strategic documents on regional development leads to the conclusion that the concept of a region as a subject of regional development policy is constant and universal, and only new phenomena and processes taking place in the socio-economic and political space evoke a need of institutional changes that condition the efficient management of regions’ development.
