Пројекат индустријализације земље по српском Цивилном/културном плану (1942-1944)
Industrialization Project in Serbian civil/cultural Plan (1942-1944)

Summary/Abstract: Serbian civil/cultural plan was unique plan in history of Serbian state. Conceived and developed by Vladimir Velmar­Jankovic, deputy­minister of education in Serbian government under occupation (1941–1944), it presented a complex plan for organization of all life segments in peace time. One part of that plan, named Technical sector, was developed for purposes of post­war restorati­ on, infrastructural projects and electrification and industrialization of country. In this article original project documentation considering industrialization of country has been published for the very first time. Project documentation contains historical retrospective of industrialization process in Kingdom of Yugoslavia, sum of current industrial problems and number of system solutions, which should be implemented after the war. Historical part of project underlines some of large weaknesses of Yugoslav pre­war industrialization: its orientation toward exporting mostly raw materials or primary products, lack of any organization in process and extremely large influence of personal and foreign interests in industry. Main offered solution was transition to agricultural industry, with development of other industrial branches toward boosting agricultural production. It also im­ plied planned economy, with large­scale state intervention in production and development of industry. Alongside these processes, a step­by­step etatatisation and nationalization of mines and large factories were planned.
