Summary/Abstract: Our paper presents some partial results of a wide regional research regarding the economic integration of nations and economies in the areas surrounded by the Carpathian Alps (Réti, 2004). The research was made by 7 teams in 4 countries. The authors conducted their research in the Central Statistical Region of Romania, mainly in the areas populated by ethnic Hungarians. The paper presents, how an area placed in the centre of a country can be regarded as a peripherical area, and how the periphery can act like a centre. We described what differences can be found between the official, centralized data and the everyday life. Our conclusions explain why those differences occur.Our paper presents some partial results of a wide regional research regarding the economic integration of nations and economies in the areas surrounded by the Carpathian Alps (Réti, 2004).
