 Les disparités spatiales en Europe et leurs évolutions: 1960 - 2000Christian Vandermotten Brussels Economic Review, 2002, vol. 45, issue 4, 23-58 Abstract: Regional disparities in Europe can only be explained by taking into consideration a multi-secular history. More than by the inequalities in the level of GDP/inhab. regional disparities are characterised by various productive structures. The centre-periphery structure in Western Europe remains, notwithstanding some convergences of the GDP/inhab. levels at the scale of the States during the four last decades. Recently, a trend towards the reinforcement of the metropolitan areas can even be noticed. Since the failure of the Soviet system, Central-Eastern Europe is incorporated into the world-economy on a semi-peripheral basis. From a regional point of view, the consequences are a strong growth of the regional (and social) disparities, to the benefit of the capital regions and, for the westernmost countries, the western border fringes.
