Regional Science, Location and Economic Theory: Thoughts and Discussions about Development

Hélder Uzêda Castro

European Journal of Development Studies, 2022, vol. 2, issue 4, 62-67

Abstract: This theoretical discussion intends to reinforce some of the main aspects of Regional Science, discussing the spatial issue through studies on geographic location, and how these relate to important economic theories. From the rescue of the thinking of classic authors of Regional Science, emphasizing spatial and location issues, and of Economics with a focus on development, using the resource of bibliometric research of periods of contemporary history, it was possible to review thoughts and theories and emphasize the importance of connecting factors present in economic and geographical studies. The region and the territory were approached in an attempt to demonstrate them as an environment for important research phenomena. It was noted that phenomena linked to Regional Economic Development have re-emerged in recent years as a global trend, considering internal movements due to the health crisis (COVID-19) and global conflicts (i.e. Russia x Ukraine), but they are still poorly studied. The scientific contribution lies in strengthening the relationship between what is discussed in academia and what happens in society.
