Ergänzungswirtschaft, Grosswirtschaftsraum and Yugoslavia’s responses to German economic theories and plans for the Balkans in the 1930s

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on German economic theory and plans for South-Eastern Europe in the 1930s and Yugoslavia’s responses to it. By highlighting the opposition of Yugoslav economic experts, business leaders, press and officials towards the concepts of Grosswirtschaftsraum and Ergaenzungswirtschaft, the article emphasises conflicting directions of economic development between the two countries; this would sooner or later lead to the confrontation, despite the level of political cooperation between the two countries.
