Abstract
The researchers have aimed to analyse the processes of divergent development of Lithuanian regions by estimating the basic parameters of the process of interregional stratification. We have carried out an estimation of the process of differentiation using three parameters: per capita gross regional product (further GRP), per worker GRP and per capita foreign direct investment (further FDI) in a separate region. Using these indicators and the economic classical con vergence-divergence approaches of analysis, the principal dimensions of the unequal development of territorial units in Lithuania have been assessed.
Highlights
During the process of reform, the socioeconomic situation of separate regions in Lithuania has been influenced by a set of new factors
A new push for discussions emerged at the end of 1999 after Lithuania had been invited to negotiate its membership in the EU, the necessity to form the policy of regional development as one of the requirements arose
Authors give a qualified approval to conclusions of these theories and maintain that without conceptual regional politics, in conditions of market economy, the territorial differentiation of Lithuania's regions is the bigger the faster is its economic growth
