Celem niniejszego artykułu jest kompleksowe omówienie problematyki gron (clusters). Artykuł rozpoczyna analiza zagadnień teoretycznych nowego podejścia do rozwoju regionalnego i lokalnego. W dalszej części zostały przedstawione i omówione takie bliskoznaczne koncepcje jak: Marshallowskie okręgi przemysłowe, włoskie okręgi przemysłowe, nowe dystrykty przemysłowe, mezosystemy, lokalne środowiska innowacyjne, regiony uczące się, regionalne systemy innowacji. Rdzeniem artykułu jest analiza koncepcji gron – jej podstawy teoretyczne, definicje, relacje z innymi koncepcjami, pozytywne i negatywne efekty gron, siła i słabości metodologiczne. Ostatnia część artykułu jest poświęcona zagadnieniom praktycznym – politykom prorozwojowym inspirowanym teorią gron. Przegląd obejmuje głównie inicjatywy i działania podejmowane w państwach Unii Europejskiej.
