The author analyzed the character and the scope of recognition regarding guidelines resulting from the strategic document elaborated at the regional level in local strategies. It is assumed that pursuing a policy based on coherent and mutually linked strategic documents strengthens developmental effects. The above-mentioned analysis illustrated limited consistency of local strategic documents with the regional strategy. The overview of selected strategic documents at the local level in the context of substantive reference to the regional strategic objectives shows that although this type of convergence occurs, it does not have the direct and broad character. Therefore, there is a need to resolve the dilemma as to the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of establishing an integrated regional policy from the viewpoint of relations concerning strategic documents formed at local self-government level with the documents of senior level. Assuming the existence of significant benefits resulting from a coherent development policy, it would be essential to elaborate the system on a regional level, which would incorporate the principles of this policy. Its aim should be to strengthen developmental effects through clear identification of key directions and concentration of public resources on defined and crucial development goals, taking into account local needs and challenges of the region’s development.}, type={Text}, title={Spójność strategii rozwoju gmin wiejskich województwa opolskiego ze strategią regionalną = Consistency of the Opolskie Voivodship municipal development strategies with the regional strategy}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/59961/PDF/WA51_79446_r2016-t41_SOW-Solga.pdf}, keywords={Opolskie voivodeship, local strategies, regional strategy, strategic documents cohesion}, }
