Abstract: A considerable amount of recent literature on development pole concepts contains criticism that there is no adequate unifying ‘theory’ to underpin the concepts. This paper attempts to trace the conceptual evolution of development pole theory in order to isolate some of the causes of theoretical confusion. It concludes with a plea for integration of both the sectoral and spatial aspects of polarization.
