THE POSITION OF SELF-GOVERNMENT IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC IN THE ENDOGENOUS REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: The position of self-government in the process of regional development has been examined by many authors. The theory of endogenous development points out, that self-government has more detailed and more accurate information, which are necessary to adopt decisions related to regional development than the central government. It also accentuates the active role of self-government as the main floater and coordinator of the regional development process. The paper is aimed to define endogenous regional development and to specify the position of self-government in the Slovak Republic in the process of endogenous regional development. We conclude that self-government plays an important role in the process of regional development. Its activities can not be put in the practice isolated, but they should respect conceptual approach. That means that measures realized by self-government should follow aims and activities defined by the central government and that self-government should cooperate by their implementation with central government, state institutions and other subjects located in the region.
