Abstract: Spatial differences in the level of economic activity have several sources and conditioning factors. The most obvious among them is the character of naturally available material endowments including climatic and terrain conditions. The connectivity with adjacent or distant trading centres is yet another dimension that plays a critical role in propagating multiplier effects of ‘backward and forward linkages’ and gravity forces among the regions. What is attempted here is to create a template of a strategic framework for approaching the issues of regional disparities as they arise in varied forms and magnitude. JEL Classification: P25, R11, R58
