This article addresses the problem of definition
and identification of clusters as localised
mesoeconomic systems with fuzzy
boundaries that stimulate the development of
these systems. The author analyses the influence
of the inductive approach to the formation
of cluster theory and juxtaposes different
typologies of clusters and other types of localised
economic systems. The article offers an
overview of the existing methodological approaches
to the problem of cluster identification
and emphasises the major role of institutional
dimension in the identification (and
functioning) of clusters, especially in comparison
to cluster formation theory based on
the technological connection of adjacent
units. The author comes to a conclusion that,
without the inclusion of institutional factors,
alongside localising and technological ones
(demonstrated through different variables), it
is virtually impossible to develop an independent
cluster theory, different from the general
agglomeration theory. For the first time,
a hierarchy of institutions affecting the formation
of local economic systems is considered
against the background of the identification of
institutional levels, whose full development
makes it possible to speak of the formation of
clusters as most successful mesoeconomic systems.
At the same time, the author emphasises
that, in economies gravitating towards the
market type of organisation, the development
of mesoeconomic systems is closely connected
to competition for innovative rent. The article
outlines the methodology for cluster studies,
which makes it possible to consider such relatively
new to the regional science phenomena
as innovative and “transborder” clusters.... weniger
