Empirical evidence is growing which shows that social capital contributes to economic development on local and regional scales, and is an ubiquitous component and determinant of progress in many kinds of development projects and an important tool for poverty reduction. Today, the importance of social capital for the economy is undisputed. Many scientific papers have been written on this subject but missing are papers on tools and ways to stimulate and develop social capital. This paper makes such an attempt.

This analysis conducted between 1997 and 2001 captures the spatial structure of the Hungarian economy at the turn of the millennium, through a wide-ranging, comprehensive system of indices. Based on analysis of the connections expressed in the figures, the authors examined what relationship could be shown between development and infrastructure, and what sub-regions and regions emerge as relatively developed or backward according to the broadly interpreted system of indices employed.

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the quality of regional development in powiats in the Małopolskie Voivodship. For this purpose, the Regional Development Index, based on aggregation of the Principal Component Analysis results, was proposed. The development of the region includes quantitative changes in the economy (in production, investment, and employment) and qualitative changes (in the structure of the economy and society), so the values of the development index were also calculated separately for the area of economic, social and ecological development. The calculated value of the development indicator for each powiat made it possible to rank the regions of the Małopolskie Voivodship and to analyse changes in their level of development.

The paper presents a reflection on a part of the research conducted for a doctoral dissertation entitled Educational Conditions of Regional Development (Based on Research of Roznowskie Lake Commune Associate). The author attempts to draw attention to the opportunities offered by the Internet Network in developing rural milieus. Interviews, observations and analyses of selected websites conducted during the research helped to discover the importance of the Internet access and the need for ICT education. Moreover, the author presents the diverse character of the Internet – websites, e-learning centers, newsletters, etc. Basing on the literature of the subject (by Ewa Solarczyk-Ambrozik among others) the first part of the paper provides information about the local development of villages, and presents the issue of education. The second part concerns educational forms of web activities undertaken by village residents. The author, for example, raises the subject of useful websites. The third part features some information on web-based information bulletins referred to as newsletters. Finally, the author summarizes potential ways of the Internet access along with the resulting opportunities. All this leads to the conclusion that the development of rural milieus is impossible today without computerization, ITC education and providing village residents with the Internet access.

The aim of the study was to analyse the similarities and differences between the individual provinces of the functional region of Eastern Poland. Special emphasis was placed on compar-ison of the areas which were qualified as strategic ones in the updated version of the Strategy for Socio-economic Development of Eastern Poland until 2020. To compare the level of economic development, the innovative potential, labour resources, quality of human capital, and the development of transport infrastructure in the individual provinces, Hellwig’s taxonomic measure of development and Ward’s agglomeration combinatorial method were used. This made it possible to identify which of the areas under analysis can be regarded as a relatively homogeneous sphere of intervention and which require an individual approach.

Question of regions is the question of central part and periphery. Development of regions depend on the development of centrum with which they create unity. Region is characterized as a territory with the features typical for it. Regional awareness has emotional and feeling character. This part has centrifugal tendency and integrates local and regional societies. Relation with traditional culture is the outcome and possibility in the development of regions in tourism. Awareness of regional membership is necessary to reach by education in family, school and state policy -in the area of traditional culture and national culture.

The development of clusters is part of the process of deindustrialisation of the economy. However, there is a scarcity of guidelines for future management aimed at the creation of new efficient structures of this type. In other words, a lack of clear policies of cluster development can be observed in most countries and regions. This is partly justifiable, as the development of enterprises, and the establishment of cooperation between firms, is largely dependent on the specific economic, social and legal conditions of individual countries, and these can vary widely from one state to another. The author attempts to analyse the cluster development policy carried out in Podlaskie Voivodeship, which is among Europe’s most challenged regions. The analysis is based on the guidelines for cluster development proposed by S.A. Rosenfeld.

Regional development is an important economic category that can be considered from both a theoretical and practical standpoint. The present paper offers an academic analysis of the concept of regional development, the complexity of this process and its association with regional (cohesion) policy. In the practical sense, an attempt is made to define the size and the scale of regional development in Poland. A specific role is assigned to European cohesion policy, which, having a huge influence for development processes, is periodically re-profiled. In the next budget planning period 2014-2020 (similarly to the previous one), the new dimension of EU cohesion policy will have a strong impact on Polish regions. Its scale will depend on the shape of the European budget as well as on the acceptance of solutions suggested by the European Commission.

The aim of this article is to outline growth tendencies and growth factors in the subregions (NUTS 3) of Central and Eastern Europe in the period 1998–2006. A wide range of complementary research methods has been used in order to triangulate results, starting with classical beta and sigma convergence analysis, to kernel density estimation, transition matrices, spatial autocorrelation and multi-dimensional comparisons. Some rarely discussed aspects of the influence of capital regions on growth processes have been taken into account. An additional analysis of the data in relation to country averages produced results independent of the country context. As a result, we have been able to answer the following questions: do the analysed countries experience regional convergence or rather divergence/polarisation processes? What factors determine the dynamics of regional growth? What are the main dimensions of spatial disparities in Central and Eastern Europe?

The author continues his reflections on the research into the educational determinants of regional development in rural areas. In the previous installment of the Discourses, the author paid attention to the opportunities offered by the Internet in developing rural communities. This time, he attempts to analyze educational initiatives undertaken in these milieus and those who pursue them. The author - drawing on the results of his research - characterizes the organizers of educational activities, which he divides into municipal institutions, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, church groups and artistic assemblies. The author also presents various initiatives, drawing attention to the variety of their forms, and wonders why - given the diversity of cultural and educational activities, and a large number of their initiators - educational aspirations of rural youth are realized in a much lesser degree than those of urban youth. While seeking the answer, he points to several essential issues: the time required for changes to occur (especially when it comes to the rural mentality); lack of social leaders; poor promotion of educational and cultural events. The issues presented in the paper stress the visible development of rural areas. However, this is mainly economic development. In order to make social development a 'living' process, we require, according to the author, even farther-reaching changes of education - not only in its school-related dimension, but also understood as a lifelong, continuous process.

This paper explores various aspects of working out and implementing development policies based on clusters (cluster-based policies – CBPs). The clusters are a recognized tool that can be employed for increasing competitiveness of enterprises and the whole regions as well. However, one should remember that there is no such thing as one, proven and universal model of improving competitiveness of economies through stimulation of clustering processes. Therefore, continuous monitoring of emerging cluster initiatives as well as evaluation and, if needed, adjustment of adopted cluster-based policies with active participation of regional authorities is crucial to ensure lasting growth of competitiveness both particular enterprises and the national economy as a whole.

Globalization is the major challenge the economies of all countries currently face. The process of globalization, however, does not exclude an economy of strong regional and local character. The regions and their development became subject to the rules of market economy and free competition. However, the mechanism of an open market has a lot of limitations which consequentially leads to occurrence of so-called market failure the manifestation of which are differences in regional development constituting grounds to allow for intervention of a country within the framework of regional policy. Special economic zones are a form of state interventionism in Poland. Development of clusters is one of the concepts the operation of SEZs in Poland is currently based on. The aim of this article is to present factors conditioning emergence and development of clusters in Polish SEZs. In the article, the theoretical issues connected with subject matter of a region, regional policy, clusters as well as emergence and functioning of special economic zones were discussed. In further section of the article a characterization of Polish economic zones was conducted and results of their functioning in the context of their impact on emergence and development of clusters were presented.

The European Union aims to become the leading knowledge-based region of the world by 2010. Innovation as a major source of competitiveness and economic growth has been brought to the center of regional development policies. After joining the European Union this constitutes a serious challenge for Hungary since the country's competitiveness depends not only on the effectiveness and development level of its innovation system but also on the extent to which the country is capable of a successful integration to the European Research Area. After surveying the international (i.e., the US and the EU) experience and the relevant literature this paper provides an analysis on the prospect of an innovation-based regional development strategy for Hungary particularly on the role universities might play in that. The main focus is on the institutional and regulatory frameworks of innovation with a special attention to the characteristics of university R&D financing.

In the process of strategic planning the strategy of development as well as applications realizing it are formulated. Planning is the basis for preparing and taking decisions referring to principles, trends and the pace of far-reaching development. Elaboration of the strategy of regional development management is the undertaking of large scale complexity. It comprises decisions referring to development perspectives, formulating purposes and determining (choice) the methods of their realization, analysis of social and political conditions, collecting and processing the information. Conditioning of defining the strategy has a versatile character. None of the above-mentioned areas can be regarded as less important. The purpose of this study is to attempt to identify basic problems of forming the strategy of regional development management. The study contains a brief description of planning regional development on the basis of the literature of the subject, and then empirical verification of the accepted hypothesis. Considerations and based upon them conclusions can be useful in working out the strategy of regional development management.

In the era of globalisation an acceleration in the economic growth of problem regions and, especially, of rural areas, is being achieved through a rise in the innovativeness and competitiveness of such types of economic activity that are fostered by local comparative advantages. Improvement in the local economy is stimulated, among other things, by modern organisation of economic activity in the form of clusters.The main aim of this article is to prove that the presence of cluster structures in a given area increases the probability of the emergence of local economic effects conducive to economic growth, i. e. the effects of co-operation and economic integration, the external effects of scale and internal synergistic effects as well as the multiplier and accelerator effects. The authoress has conducted an analysis of four rural regions, namely of the State of Minnesota in the USA, the Finnish region of Oulu and two regions of Chile, in which the organisation of production in the form of clusters - both of hi-tech and traditional industries, proved an effective instrument of accelerating economic growth.

Studies which deal with the reasons for disparities between the levels of regional development are an important part of economics theory. According to the neoclassical approach, all differences are transient and they will gradually diminish, owing to various factors, including perfect mobility of the means of production. On the other hand, according to the theories from New Economic Geography, regional polarisation of economic development is a relatively permanent process and the mechanism of its increase is based on so called agglomeration benefits. Based on this concept, the study assumed that one of the basic reasons for the disparities between the levels of economic development is the diversity of the development of an urban settlement network. In order to verify the hypothesis, sixteen provinces were divided into three groups with different levels of economic development, measured by the value of GDP per capita. Subsequently, the development of urban settlement network was evaluated within such groups by means of such indexes as: urbanisation index, city density index, structure of urban centre by size. The analyses performed have confirmed the assumption. At least partially, economic development of provinces depends on urbanisation processes. However, it means that development disparities between regions are likely to grow in the future.

The dynamic processes occurring in the global economy, resulting in a steadily decreasing significance of industry, require extensive action by public authorities. Both state and local governments are responsible for counteracting the effects of deindustrialisation. Structural changes are mainly caused by high land prices in cities, economy-wide fluctuations and replacement of such economic functions as the industrial production by the more vibrant branches of the economy, e.g. the residential housing or service sectors. Local self-governments are responsible for the economic development of communes. The range of instruments available to assist entrepreneurs is not very wide, while finding new investors in the midst of a profound global crisis requires energetic steps and numerous pro-investment incentives. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, tend to choose locations which are the most attractive from the point of view of economic efficiency. They expect that local and regional authorities will provide preferential conditions for investment. Special economic zones, whose performance is the focus of the present paper, offer substantial benefits for communal income and help ensure job protection.
