“…There are two approaches to the distribution of activities in regional development, the socalled top-down and bottom-up approaches, i.e., the first "top-down" approach, which refers to decision-making at higher levels of government, i.e., a tendency toward centralism that often ignores actors at lower levels of decision-making, and the second "bottom-up" approach, which refers to proposals and activities and decision-making at the lowest levels of government (Thierstein & Walser, 1999;Pissourios, 2014). Halkier (2001) states that the first period of the creation of RDA in Europe was from the 1960s to the 1980s, when the creation of regional policy was "top down", which was the centralized management of regional development policy, and that the second period, " top down", which began in the 1980s and continues (Toktas, et al, 2013). Since the 1980s, the inadequacies of the centralized approach to regional development have been slowly recognized and the introduction of the "bottom up" system, i.e., the decentralized approach to regional development, has begun.…”

RDAs - regional development agencies have a long development path in Europe since the early 1960s until today. RDAs are directed to the regions of the countries that implement it, but it also applies to the national level as well as to the level of the EU (which comes to the fore with the country's accession to full membership). In addition to the significant differences in the level of development of the regions of the EU Member States, there are also significant differences in the development of the regions of 11 post-transition EU Member States (Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Croatia). Because they all belonged to the former "socialist bloc of countries" and broke their state alliances with the former states in the early 1990s, as well as because they did not have the same historical circumstances or the same timing for joining the EU, all this had and still has an important role on the uneven development of their regions. But, RDAs do not play the same role and importance in all post-transition countries, which reflects the specificity of their regional development management systems and makes it necessary to examine the role and importance of RDAs' work. This paper will analyze: 1) the role and development of RDAs in post-transition EU member states, and 2) the institutional framework of RDAs with an attempt to find innovative transformations of the role of RDAs that respect the framework of EU regional policies.

“…регионального развития Анализу таких специфических ИРР, как РИФ, АРР и КРР в отечественной и зарубежной литературе посвящено достаточно много работ. В целом ряде исследований проанализированы правовые особенности функционирования АРР (Eroglu et al, 2014), выделены их типовые характеристики, к числу которых относятся: полуавтономное положение по отношению к центральным органам власти; использование «мягких» инструментов политики для поддержки местных фирм; наличие таких факторов успеха деятельности АРР, как консенсус между бизнесом и властью, предпринимательский потенциал региона, большое население и наличие квалифицированной рабочей силы (Halkier, Danson, 1998;Toktas, Sevinc, Bozkurt, 2013;Toktas et al, 2018). В литературе осуществлена классификация АРР по различным признакам, например, по функционалу (Татаркин, Котлярова, 2013), по уровню развития и зрелости (Полтерович, 2016), по учредительному принципу (Балацкий, Екимова, Юревич, 2019).…”

The article considers the phenomenon of megaprojects as a type of regional development institutions. It shows that megaprojects complement existing regional development corporations and regional investment forums in Russia and other countries. It is demonstrated that megaprojects are a highly controversial phenomenon, characterised not only by huge amounts of investment but also by severe violations of the planned values of time, financial costs, technical and economic results after the commissioning of the facility. In addition, the current environmental damage from megaprojects is both positive and negative, which makes it impossible to account for its impact in the overall scheme of analysis. The article concludes that megaprojects are informationally closed; therefore, it is almost impossible to collect comprehensive information on them. According to the authors, this is due to the desire of megaproject investors to become "invisible" to statistical and supervisory authorities. Otherwise, many projects may become less attractive with the ensuing risks of conservation of regions in a state of low economic activity. Approaches to assess the target efficiency of megaprojects, as well as their indirect economic efficiency, which is based on the use of the investment multiplier methodology, are proposed. Promising directions for further research on megaprojects are outlined.

“…Legality and authority come to the next which indicate that in order to enhance the effectiveness of RDAs, they need to be supported bottomup in local base and top-down by central governments. Another issue that affect efficiencies of RDAs in Turkey is to adopt the decentralization tradition despite that RDAs require more comprehensive and more unique effective regional policy tools and actions rather than centrally oriented supports (Toktaş, Sevinç and Bozkurt, 2013).…”

Recent statistics reveal that by 2050 a minimum 70% increase in agricultural production is to be achieved to feed the steadily growing world population. Climate change, frequent natural disasters, soil degradation and urbanisation reduce cultivable land areas and result in imbalance between supply and demand of food commodities. As a consequence, higher agricultural commodity prices and food shortages require more support to increase food production and to combat poverty. Lack of access to finance is a key impediment for the majority of farmers in improving the efficiency of their productions and adopting better technologies.With reference to agricultural financing field, we overviewed historical trends, issues, financing methods and policy preferences within a global perspective and a framework for Turkey. Based on the secondary data, utilizing time-series illustrative analysis, our research question focused on the adequacy and efficiency of formal credit resources allocated to agricultural sector in Turkey. We revealed that during the rewiev period, the relative size of formal credit resources allocated to agricultural area decreased gradually; recent inflantionary trend in Turkey is triggered by high food prices and; new adjustment policy measures that include selective credit policy tools are required.Keywords: Agricultural sector, agricultural finance, financing methods. Çalışmamızda tarımsal finansman alanındaki tarihsel trendler, metodlar ve uygulama politikaları global perspektif ve Türkiye kapsamında incelama konusu yapılmıştır. Araştırmamız ikinci kaynaktan sağlanan zaman serisi verilerine dayalı grafiksel analiz kapsamında Türkiye' de bankacılık sektörünce tarımsal sektöre tahsis edilen kredi kaynaklarının yeterli ve etkin olup olmadığını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. İnceleme döneminde tarım sektörüne tahsis edilen tarımsal kredilerin nisbi büyüklüğünün tedricen düştüğü anlaşılmıştır. Türkiye' de yakın geçmişte oluşan enflasyon trendinin gıda fiyatlarına bağlı olan yükselişi, selektif kredi uygulamaları kapsamında oluşturulacak düzeltici bir kredi politikasına ihtiyaç göstermektedir.
