The course is devoted to discussion of different types of regional development theories with options of their classifications. The lecture presents an overview of the main theories within each of the basic groups of theories. Implications of these theories for both basic research and for design of regional policy are discussed. The lecture deals also with fundamental dilemmas like convergence versus divergence and structure versus agency.
