Regional Differences and Regional Planning
of Economic Activities in Bosnia
and Herzegovina
Rahman Nurkovic and Haris Jahic
Abstract In this chapter regional differences as an indicator in regional devel-
opment of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been studied. In this regard, economic
development of new economic activities and contemporary activities, particularly
development and structure of work function were discussed. Unequal regional
development in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a regularity of economic development,
which is particularly expressed, at certain developmental stages, in polarisation of
population and income.

15.1 Introduction
Unequal regional development is a common regularity of economic development,
which is particularly expressed, at some developmental stages, in polarisation
of economic activities, population and income. At the same time, certain parts
of the country remain on periphery, weakly or insufficiently included in general
development. Thus, all the countries are characterised by spatial-developmental dis-
proportion, regardless of social arrangement and degree of development. As a rule,
problems of regional development are more discussed when multiplicative effects
of lagging the periphery behind start burdening more expressively development of
country as a whole. That development, therefore, had been increasingly monitored
and directed by the plans of regional development in the past decades.
Methodology of exploring the differences at the level of regional development
has evolved in accordance with understanding of that idea. At earlier stage, when
it had been mainly identified with spatially differentiated economic growth, the
regional development was expressed through social product or national product per
capita, respectively as one-dimensional process.
