Should the Regions be the Leading Players in Economic Development? The NOTRe Act of 7 August 2015 on the Republic’s new territorial organisation extended the regions competences in the field of economic development, economic planning and support to businesses. It strengthened their leading role in this area, which had been established by the Act of 27 January 2014. However, this pre‑eminent role is disputed; the metropolises are emerging as competing powers in the economic field and the state still plays a predominant role in the economic field. Cooperation is thus necessary on the one hand between regions and the state, and on the other hand between the regions and other authorities. | ||
