Regional policy
As regional policy (also: regional economic policy , regional structural policy ) is that portion of the business policy of an authority designated, which deals with the economic structure of sub-regions within each area (or its economic space addresses). It encompasses both the control of regional developments by a superordinate authority ( central regional policy ) and the policy of the regions themselves ( endogenous regional policy ). The locally oriented municipal location policy , however, does not become regional policy i. e. S. added.
Traditionally, the interventionist- oriented regional policy that balances disparities within an area according to the principle of cohesion has the largest share. In addition, however, the concept of innovation-oriented regional policy has increasingly emerged since the late 1970s , in which regions are viewed as independent economic actors.
