The paper provides a theoretical account
of the terms peripheralization and polarization,
which are used as conceptual contexts.
The authors examine whether spatial development
in Central and Eastern Europe can be described
as a process of polarization and whether
this can be seen as the result of current regional
and national spatial policies. Empirically,
the paper explores ongoing research projects in
Ljubljana, Slovenia and Poznan´ , Poland in relation
to the less dynamic parts of these countries
in order to identify further research needs.
Viewing spatial development in Slovenia and in
the Poznan´ region from the viewpoint of polarization
and peripheralization has opened alternative
viewpoints on spatial development. A
process-based and dynamic approach to investigating
disparities should reflect views on the
periphery and the center and their specific interrelationships.
The perspective of seeing the
processes of centralization and peripheralization
as related and the combination of structural and
socio-political aspects in the constitution of peripheral
and central spaces will advance the current
state-of-the-art research on spatial development
issues in Central and Eastern Europe.
