Subject. The development of network structure theories within the social sciences.
Objectives. Identifying key attributes of network structures.
Methods. The tools of systemic and comparative analysis were used.
Results. Important properties of a network structure are self-reproduction (maintaining development through internal resources) and direct connection with the environment.
Conclusions. A network structure is not a static entity, but a dynamic process that becomes more complex as it develops.

Keywords: network structures, hierarchy, autopoiesis, embeddedness, regional economy
