Summary/Abstract: Economies have always been prone to different kinds of shocks such as economic downturns, industry shocks, currency crises, which can destabilize the path and pattern of regional economic growth. Regional economy perturbed by a shock may move onto a new growth path by re-establishing economic linkages both internally and with other regions. The question why one region is more vulnerable to economic shock than other, impelled to analyse resilience notion in regional development context. The notion of resilience has recently risen to prominence in several disciplines, and has also entered policy discourse. Aim of this study is to throw light on some of the underlying aspects of regional resilience and give an overview of notion, main empirical results and planning tasks concerning regional resilience as well as outlining some of the criticisms. Based on systematic and comparative analysis of scientific literature comprehensive analysis of regional resilience is performed; regional resilience process is developed, structural dimensions of regional resilience is identified; regional resilience capacity building factors are presented. The main results of the study is overview and comparison of regional resilience literature and empirics that lead to highlight some of the shortcomings of the research topic.
