Over the last two decades, research into regional convergence has raised particular
interest which is a conseąuence of the discussion on the role of regions in economic
policy, newly emerged institutions, and the transformations Europę has experienced.
The ąuestions of economic growth and its outcome in the form of regional convergence are
extensively discussed among economists all over the world as they allow the phenomena of
regional disparities and the sources of their growth to be better understood.
The issues discussed in this study are highly up to date and very promising in terms
of research. The study is a very compact presentation, where each chapter introduces new
crucial content produced either as a result of an extensive overview of literature, or as
that of empirical studies conducted by the authors.
