Sažetak
The research discusses the theoretical framework of regional economics. The authors first approach the research from macro aspect, outlining the main groups of theories of regional economics, namely the location theory and the regional growth and development theory. The research continues to explore in detail the structure of each of the theories that make up the main theoretical framework of the subject of research. The paper provides a systematic overview of theories in the field of research, starting from the early papers and the beginnings of regional economics dating back to the 19th century (Johann Heinrich von Thünen) and continuing with the period of strong development in early 20th century (Weber, Christaller, Losch and others). During the 1950s, the interest in issues of regional economics was further sparked by the papers of Walter Isard (1956), while recent works (Krugman and Venables, Fujita, Baldwin, Ottaviano and Thisse, and others) provided new perspectives of research in regional economics. The structure and purpose of the research prevented a more detailed decomposition of individual theories, which requires broader systematisation due to the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of the discipline. The paper contributes to the discipline by providing an overview and systematisation of the theoretical framework of regional economics, a discipline whose structure and content require an eclectic approach to developing a specific theoretical framework, which significantly complicates the systematisation of theoretical approaches.
