The article presents issues related to regional differentiation. The first part of the article presents the theoretical context of regional differentiation. One of the most popular approaches, explaining the causes of regional differentiation in terms of economic development, is the new economic geography, which attempts to explain the differentiation in regional development on the basis of the theory created for the purpose of explaining international economic relations.

In addition to the European Central Bank’s standard monetary policy tools, the effective conduct of its monetary policy is also determined by qualitative features such as independence, credibility and transparency. These are difficult to quantify, but equally important, as they are a key element of the ECB’s functioning. Independence is an indispensable element of any central bank, while credibility has a stabilizing effect on the level of inflation expectations.

The article presents methods of financing infrastructure investments by local governments and municipal companies. The greatest emphasis was placed on external financing instruments. Particular attention was paid to the use of bonds, both by local governments and municipal companies, with a more extensive discussion of the possibility of using a financial instrument rarely used in Poland, such as revenue bonds.

Cities are undergoing constant transformation. Among other things, their architecture, infrastructure, public space and the quality of human resources are changing. At the same time, large cities are considered to be the creator of demographic changes, and thus changes in population structures. But who can be considered a city resident?

For centuries, local communities in China have had far-reaching autonomy from the central government, remnants of which can be seen even today. Chinese people still very often quote the classic proverb that the sky is high and power is far away, which perfectly captures the relationship between Beijing and area structures. Traditional social institutions remain very strong, especially clans and guanxi, which at the local level can play a greater role than the official administration.

This short paper aims to give an account on China’s rapid urbanization and the dilemmas and controversies this brings along. First the peculiarities of Chinese urbanization are discussed, such as the strange definition of urban areas and, more importantly, the contradiction between the quick marketization of the economy and the slow change in the strict top-down regulation of urbanization.

The current Development Strategy for the Mazowieckie Voivodeship until 2020 was adopted on May 29, 2006 by Resolution of the Voivodeship Assembly No. 78/06. The document constitutes a coherent and comprehensive concept of the region’s development in the long-term perspective. However, despite the proper course of the strategic programming cycle, 5 years have passed since its adoption, during which the formal and legal conditions for conducting development policy in Poland and the socio-economic situation of the region have changed.

2012 marks the 550th anniversary of the incorporation of the first lands of the Duchy of Mazovia (Rawska and Gostynin lands) into Poland. This year’s anniversary prompts questions about the legacy of the Duchy of Mazovia. The Piasts of Mazovia, who ruled the Duchy of Mazovia, although today they seem a little underestimated, a little forgotten, a little treated as semi-legendary figures, laid the milestones for the development of today’s Mazovia.
