Abstract
The article deals with the issue of economic federalism in socialist Yugoslavia.
First, the level of economic growth of distinct federal units during this
period is discussed, as well as the level of economic discrepancies within
the complex Yugoslavian community. The focus then shifts to the process of
change of the degree of authorization of distinct levels of power in economic
deliberation, with an emphasis on authorization levels of the federation and
federal units. The discussion of changes in authorization levels is followed
by a discussion of the level of integration of the Yugoslavian market and the
trends in its functioning. The final section of the article is dedicated to a discussion
of the influence of the system of “polycentric polyarchy” on the processes
of development of economic federalism in Yugoslavia in the 1980s.
