Clusters are perceived as accelerator of progress and competitiveness. Thus, the stimulation of their development has become a significant element of EU countries' policy. The selection of proper instruments that support duster development poses a peculiarly significant problem. In Poland for a couple of years clusters have become the object of special interest of public authorities of different levels as well. Validity of public administration getting engaged in cluster initiatives' development is undisputed. Principally it should consist in the stimulation of business environment to take up various forms of cooperation and creation of proper support instruments. In regional policy it plays a strictly qualitative role. However, although this problem has been given a high rank, Polish policy faces numerous restrictions here. The crucial one is Iow commitment and lack of understanding of the clustering idea itself by the self-government management.
Over the years clusters have become a phenomenon of every economy. They should be treated as a vital mechanism that activates region development. Therefore, cluster-based policy gains an exceptional meaning. Selecting that model of policy, the problem of public aid and support instruments' appliance are crucial issues. Beside the aspects that were mentioned above, the author also discusses barriers and limitations which are connected with cluster-based policy. The conclusions and implications that are presented are for the most part the aftermath of the author's own re-search on cluster development issues.

Klastry na przestrzeni ostatnich lat stają się fenomenem każdej gospodarki. Należy je traktować jako ważny mechanizm aktywizujący rozwój regionów. W związku z tym szczególnego znaczenia nabiera polityka rozwoju regionalnego oparta na klastrach (Cluster-based Policy). Istotną kwestią jest wybór modelu tej polityki, a także problem konkurencyjności regionalnej i pomocy publicznej. Obok sygnalizowanych wyżej aspektów autor omawia również bariery i ograniczenia związane z polityką wspierania klastrów. Wskazuje także kierunki ich przezwyciężania. Prezentowane wnioski i konkluzje są w przeważającej mierze pokłosiem własnych badań empirycznych autora nad problematyką rozwoju klastrów.
