Externalities can be defined as benefits for economic units which are not the effect of their direct activity, but result from changes in the environment. They comprise both spatial/location factors i.e. location benefits, and factors not related to location, occuring in the economy and resulting from its development. For the economic units attractiveness of particular places In space must have its economic measure. Economic benefits, connected with particular location of industry, will depend on the existing development of industry i.e. on size and type of existing externalities and the possibilities of their use. One of the basic problems which must be solved is a problem of utilization of externalities to increase effectiveness of functioning of economic and settlement units. Lack of integration of Industry vs. environment and incorrect development of many Polish towns results from inabitity of towns to assimilate externalities created by industries. Many industries do not take into account external benefits and non-benefits in their calculations. Ignorance of mechanisms and interaction of externalities on development decreases its effectiveness leading to waste of means. Most of economic calculations are therefore Ineffective as well.

Two trends can be observed in the transformation processes of world economy. On the one hand, enterprises analyze their growth strategies on a global scale. Their interrelationships go far beyond national boundaries. We can, thus, speak about in ternationalization of economic exchange and emergence of partnership ties between multinational corporations. On the other hand, they are closely linked with the local environment creating local production systems. Hierarchical structures existing hitherto are replaced by network systems with many specializations and directions of development, which compose new territorial dynamics. Simultaneously, “globalization” and “ territorialization” of production are also pointed out. Two main phenomena characterize this process of transformations and exert a strong influence on behaviours and choices made by entrepreneurs. These arc decentralization of powers connected with a new logic of management and an important role and a strong influence exerted on restructuring processes by new technologies. Decentralization of powers accounts for a new role assigned to local self-governments, which, to an increasingly bigger degree, assume responsibility for local and regional development. 1 he governments of many countries are more and more convinced that these are local self-governments at different administrative levels (towns, districts, regions) which are an appropriate palce for the introduction of changes and especially those concerning the development and transfer of new technologies. New technologies are a challenge of our times. Technical progress has become today a primary factor stimulating and determining economic growth of leading countries in the world becoming also the main field of international rivalry.

W artykule, w pierwszej części, autor analizuje proces przechodzenia od pojęcia przestrzeni i regionu do pojęcia terytorium jako nowego paradygmatu rozwoju. Rewolucja technologiczna i związana z tym globalizacja wywołały głębokie zmiany w gospodarce światowej. Zjawiska te spowodowały zakwestionowanie dominujących do lat 70. XX wieku w naukach ekonomicznych koncepcji teoretycznych. W ekonomii regionalnej konieczność przeformułowania dotychczasowych poglądów wymuszona została przez niemożność wyjaśnienia, na podstawie wcześniejszych koncepcji i doktryn, nowych tendencji w rozwoju przestrzennym. W drugiej części artykułu pokazano, jak w debatach na temat europejskiej polityki regionalnej i w oficjalnych dokumentach Unii Europejskiej terminy: „terytorium”, „terytorializacja”, „terytorialność” zastępują takie pojęcia jak „region” czy „przestrzeń”.

In the first part of the paper the author analyses the process of moving from the concepts of space and region to the notion of territory as a new development paradigm. The technological revolution and resulting globalisation processes have brought about deep changes in the world economy. These phenomena have called into question the theoretical concepts dominating in economic sciences since the 1970s. In regional economics the necessity to reformulate previous concepts has been triggered by the inadequacy of existing conceptions and doctrines to explain new tendencies in spatial development. The second part of the paper demonstrates how concepts such as territory, territorialisation and territoriality gradually replace the notion of region or space in debates on European regional policy and in official EU documents.

One can observe an general agreement that globalization is one of the main challenges for the contemporary human being. This conception depicts the process of passing from the world economy to the one “global” economical system. It replaces the term “internationalization”, hitherto used for describing the strategies of the enterprises. Globalization means qualitative changes and appearance of the new paradigm, wich defines new frames for economies and societies. Globalization is a dynamic process, whose results are difficult to forecast. One of the main reasons is, that this process depends on many phenomena, which are antagonistic on the surface, which interwave and appear simultaneously on the global and the lower, national and regional scale. It radically changes an approach to regional sciences, which presently cannot be based on independent and frontiers-defined national territory. Hitherto way-of-thinking: “national- international” are being replaced by “global-local” relations analysis. The effects of crosscutting of these two dimensions: global and local and their intereactions, lead to creation of the new term: “glocalization”, which underlines the interchangeability and simultaneousness of both the developing process of globalization and the growing meaning of the local development.
