On the Regional Dimensions of Rostow's Theory of Growth

Author

Abstract

Rostow's approach to economic development, summarized in The Stages of Economic Growth, involved an economy passing through a sequence of well†defined stages. This theory of growth was primarily concerned with the national economy. There were, however, more than a few references to regions, although these were not elaborated upon or explored in detail. The concern here is with examining the possibility that the Rostow analysis might also have a relevance at the sub†national or regional scale. This possibility is considered in terms of three distinct perspectives: the regional (where the emphasis is on the individual region, with no attention given to the rest of the nation); the multiregional (the focus being on the various regions that comprise the nation); and the interregional (which examines the economic relations among regions within a nation).
