ABSTRACT

The problem of regional development had long been neglected in bourgeois theory of the 19th and 20th centuries, until as late as the Second World War. The terms "regional development" and "the economy of space" express in themselves the economic sovereignty of the region and the primary importance of space over the development of economy as a whole. The integration of regional policy into the general development policy will also largely depend on the extent to which the criteria of national economy, which are an intrinsic part of long-term plans, are in practice respected and applied. Regional problems lie in the sphere of social rationalization, in that world, so real and at the same time so intangible, of indirect influences, economic aggregates and economic categories such as social profitability, social economies in accumulation resources and labor productivity. The positive effect of regional aspect is particularly strongly felt in social economies both in respect of investment policy and current production costs.
