Regional programming and spatial differences: limitations and opportunities
The object of examination are methodological problems impairing the efficiency of regional programming as an instrument of state regional policy: existence of many relatively partial institutional models of the region that in principle are irreducible to each other and so left without due coordination in the design of regional programs; structural paradigm limitations of regional programs that affect feasibility of chosen objectives; strong mechanisms of self-stabilization (regional constants) versus indications of partial programs that are not in keeping with the overall direction of regional growth; relative uncertainty of federal/regional adjustments achieved in programs; imperfect criteria used to measure spatial specifics and regional disparities when setting priorities among program objectives.
