Abstract: This paper contains a presentation of a theory and a taxonomy explaining relationships among policies in three spheres—sector, distribution, and space. Based on a juxtaposition of competing approaches of the liberal and radical schools, the theoretical analysis is seen to suggest the dominance of sectoral policies and the complementary role of others, particularly spatial policies. In order to define the interdependencies among policies in practical terms, a relational taxonomy is presented. Last, a procedure of taxonomical analysis is prescribed as a normative guideline for policymaking.
