“…Based on the literature reviewed above, it is clear that countries can be compared and divided into the "core" and "periphery" in terms of various variables: GDP p.c., public debt (% of GDP), trade surplus/deficit (Caraveli, 2017); investment in R&D, FDI (Kottaridi, 2005); macroeconomic imbalance procedure (MIP) indicators (Wortmann and Stahl, 2016), CA (Armingeon and Baccaro, 2012) and fiscal variables (Neck and Blueschke, 2014).…”

The heterogeneity of economic performances in the EU member states is one of the main reasons for the existence of a "core-periphery" relationship. The goal of this research is to examine various economic indicators to reveal possible divisions between the EU members.This issue emphasized the contribution of rich "core" countries to the imbalances in poorer "peripheral" EU members. By applying cluster methodology and considering the most recent data, two groups of countries were identified, the first comprising 11 countries that form the "centre" or the "core", and the rest of the EU forming the "periphery". Considering differences between these countries is necessary and justified for discussions about the future development of the EU that will involve differences between member states.

“…Este comportamiento diferente entre los países del Este y el resto, especialmente los periféricos, ha sido atribuido por algunos autores a una nueva realineación económica dentro de la Unión Europea que habría desplazado el eje principal desde la relación centro-periferia hacia una relación centro-Este. En particular, se entiende que este proceso está dirigido por la transformación sectorial de la estructura productiva en los países del Este, lo cual les ha permitido aprovechar la proximidad geográfica con los países del centro, especialmente Alemania y Austria, para lograr integrarse en las cadenas de valor de los países europeos (Simonazzi, Ginzburg y Nocella, 2013;Da Silva, 2017;Caravelli, 2017). En efecto, lejos de converger, los países del Sur de Europa se encuentran cada vez más lejos de los países y economías del centro, en especial Alemania, mientras que los países del Este están aprovechando las nuevas instituciones europeas para mejorar significativamente sus niveles de vida.…”

La pandemia ha provocado en la Unión Europea la mayor caída del producto interno bruto (PIB) per cápita de su historia. La respuesta de las autoridades comunitarias ha sido excepcional y se ha puesto en marcha un fondo de recuperación de 700 000 millones de euros. ¿Estamos ante un programa de inversiones para recuperar la senda de crecimiento previa a la pandemia o es también una oportunidad para corregir las desigualdades estructurales que arrastran la Unión Europea y la zona del euro agravadas tras la última crisis financiera? En este texto argumentamos que el segundo objetivo es el deseable y que sólo se conseguirá si los recursos están dirigidos por una estrategia de política industrial moderna que permita a los países de la periferia mejorar la intensidad tecnológica de sus estructuras productivas.

“…In this context, the theory of new economic geography, formed in the scientific works by P. Krugman (1998) [7], is important, within the framework of which the peculiarities of the process of regional polarization as a result of the interaction of economies with different basic characteristics are justified. A. Ascani, R. Crescenzi, S. Iammarino (2012) [8] and H. Caraveli (2017) [9] note that economic integration between developed and underdeveloped territories has a direct impact on the spatial location of economic entities through access to markets. At the same time, in modern conditions, the study of core-peripheral interactions is reaching a new level, since today peripherality is determined not only by spatial arrangement.…”

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to identify the spatial features of the social-economic development of territorial communities in the context of administrative and financial decentralization. Methodology /approach. The method of system analysis is used in the work – to research the spheres of central-peripheral interactions at the level of territorial communities; method of comparative analysis – to identify trends in the formation and development of interactions between the center and the periphery in communities and the factors that determine them; abstract-logical method – for the formation of theoretical generalizations and formulation of conclusions from the research; method of graphic visualization, which allows providing a clear presentation of the results of the analysis; sociological survey of chairmen of local councils of territorial communities of Lviv region – to determine the state of development of central-peripheral interactions in their communities. The key role of territorial and systemic approaches to the analysis of core-peripheral interactions in territorial communities is emphasized, which made it expedient to form a research method based on taking into account the conditions for the development of a particular environment and existing spatial restrictions. Results. The article identifies the features of the formation of core-peripheral interactions in the territorial communities of rural areas. It is focused on the formation of derivative core-peripheral interactions that arise in the territorial communities created during the implementation of administrative-territorial reform. On the basis of a systematic and comprehensive analysis, the existing and hidden core-peripheral dependencies were identified and the features of the mutual influence of the centers of the united territorial communities of the rural areas of the Lviv region on the socio-economic development of the community territory were revealed. The problems and risks of the development of the territory of the community are substantiated in the context of the mutual influence of a derivative nature. Originality / scientific novelty. A scientific approach to the identification of central-peripheral interactions in territorial communities was developed, which allows identifying the spatial effects of social, economic, managerial interactions of the center and the periphery within the community. A scientific-and-methodological approach to the assessment of central-peripheral interactions was developed, which provides for the selection of community groups according to certain criteria (community type (urban / rural / urban), community composition, location in the region) and their diagnosis in areas: analysis of strategic documents of local council on the development of central-peripheral interactions in a community; analysis of the management structure of the local council, representation of peripheral communities, compliance of the composition and structure of the governing body with the goals of community development; analysis of budget support for infrastructure development; research of employment opportunities in the community. The application of the approach will reveal the patterns of formation of central-peripheral interactions at the level of territorial communities. Practical value / implications. The results of the study make it possible to have a more comprehensive assessment of the state of the formation of central-peripheral interactions in territorial communities, contribute to the identification of risks of social conflict between different groups in the community and to form recommendations for their activation. The results are recommended for consideration by local governments when preparing proposals for socio-economic development and ensuring the financial capacity of local communities.
