Abstract: Peripheral regions, analysed both in a country and community, are the subject of a particular interest to various groups, such as: researchers, investors, politicians etc. If regions are properly managed, they can contribute not only to the economic growth but also decide about comparative advantages of the whole country. The article attempts to answer the question of the level of competitiveness and growth potential of the outermost regions in European Union. Additional goals are: definition of terms: ‘peripheral’, ‘competitiveness’, the classification of competitiveness evaluation methods, analysis of the competitiveness of the EU peripheral regions - using selected models, characteristics of selected regions – an analysis of an example of the peripheral positive influence on the developing regions, conclusions and recommendations.
