Regional (Im)Balances in Transitional Economies: The Croatian Case

In this paper we attempt to give answer on the following question: what is the way in which transitional process influence on the balance of the regional development of the transitional countries. In order to give answer on this question we will analyze Croatian regional processes in the pre transitional as well as in the transitional period divided in the following sub periods: 1965-1975; 1975-1990; 1990-1995. In this analysis we will examine position of the 22 Croatian counties individually and summary implementing 32 indicators based on the PROMETEE method. Since indicators are from the economic, natural and socio-cultural origin we consider this analysis to be integral one.
