Summary/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.
