Abstract:

The stages of formation of cluster theory have been considered in the work. The preconditions of appearance and ontogenesis of cluster theory have been identified. Its eclectic nature has been substantiated based on the aggregated elements of alternative concepts. Individual problems of the theory related to its interdisciplinary nature have been formulated. The role of clusters in overcoming the path dependency effect has been emphasized. New stage of cluster theory development that consists in clusterization of the economic space of the regions has been substantiated.
