Summary:

This study presents economic, cultural, electoral, and administrative variables from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries on four European countries: Britain, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland. In particular, this study focuses on the relationships between military-administrative, economic, and cultural ''centers'' within a nation-state and its surrounding hinterlands. The four countries selected illustrate very different types of territorial structure from the federal, multi-centered model to the unitary, single-centered model. In physical size, they represent both large and small political entities. This study contains extensive information for all four countries in such areas as geography, demography, urban settlement patterns, occupational structures, education, income, industrial and agricultural production, health and household conditions, cultural and religious traits, and political beliefs.
