Abstract

The present article deals with the degree of industrialization in the seventies and its characteristic features in the center and the periphery. We will examine whether the gaps between the degree of industrialization and deversification and branch composition of center and periphery are narrowing. We will also examine the changes in the spatial dispersal of the various branches of industry between 1971-1978 throughout the country, in other words, which branches tended to concentrate and which to disperse, and why.
