Regional Development Potential: How to Define and Evaluate it in an EU context?

Original language description

Development potential and differences in performance of the territory in the context of cohesion and competitiveness is an issue that is frequently discussed in the European Union, but there is no uniform theoretical approach and consensus on their assessment. The paper aims to analyse the existing approaches to the development potential of the European territory. Besides the analysis of mechanisms and factors that contribute to regional differentiation, the fundamental research question is how to evaluate the level of development potential and its trends. However, no analysed the theoretical and methodological approach to the development potential of the European territory can be considered universal, which makes it impossible to implement common development strategies for all regions. The question is, what strategy is used to increase the effectiveness of regional development policies impact the shift in the economic structure of territory? Regional development strategies should be based on the sound assessment of regional resources, capabilities, competencies and core competencies, as well as on dynamic capabilities aiming to develop the resource configurations to form regional competitive advantage. Based on the literature review, the territorial development and its potential are mostly examined at the level of regions (NUTS 3) or rural areas. In most of the studies is concluded that regional development should be the view from different perspectives taking into consideration not only economic but also social or environmental conditions. Exogenous and endogenous factors determine the potential of regional development, and it is necessary to use quantitative and qualitative indicators to its evaluation.
