Abstract

The centre-periphery models are ones of the most significant categories of those theories which explain the uneven geographical development. These models have lost much from their influencing role in the last few decades, mostly because of the popularity of neoliberal concepts which dominate the public policy.  In our research we review again the centre-periphery models and argue for their possible revitalization.
