In the era of globalisation an acceleration in the economic growth of problem regions and, especially, of rural areas, is being achieved through a rise in the innovativeness and competitiveness of such types of economic activity that are fostered by local comparative advantages.

The authoress has conducted an analysis of four rural regions, namely of the State of Minnesota in the USA, the Finnish region of Oulu and two regions of Chile, in which the organisation of production in the form of clusters - both of hi-tech and traditional industries, proved an effective instrument of accelerating economic growth.

The article presents the problem of spatial differentiation of Poland at the regional level on the basis of selected and available statistical data. Special attention is drawn to the phenomenon of differentiation and its two forms: diversification and disparity. The spatial effect of scale has been introduced to present the role of individual regions and the significance of distribution and homogeneity (or heterogeneity) of the population. The notion 'region' is explained, its types are described as well as the essence of spatial order is presented. By using a set of selected criteria and applying the zero unitarisation method the author indicates problem regions as well as provinces (voivodeships) possessing the best conditions..
