- Abstract
Spatial inequalities in the development and quality of life in countries are well known. Convergence and divergence in countries' development levels have been widely researched, but little heed has been paid to internal divisions and fragmentation among the population in the research area. Although heterogeneity may often impede cooperation, world economic history offers many examples of cultural or ethnic heterogeneity coinciding with development. The paper analyses the relation of cultural, ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity to level of development, using a sample of 155 countries, to which regression and discriminant analysis are applied. The research provides quantitative evidence that while linguistic, ethnic and cultural fragmentation coincide with lower development levels, religious fragmentation is often experienced in the most developed countries.
