Both political and socio-economic equalization across regions and nations are viewed as critical to the cohesion of multinational, multi-homeland Yugoslavia. Although substantial resources have been allocated to socio-economic equalization programs, interregional and international inequality has grown over time. The Federal Fund and other equalization programs have slowed the growth of inequality that would have occurred in their absence, but have not narrowed the developmental gap between nations and republics. One of the principal reasons for this failure is the successful political equalization across the major nations in their homelands. Yugoslavia has evolved into a confederation of essentially sovereign nation-states. The equalization dilemma in confederal Yugoslavia is that the achievement of political equalization through decentralization has reduced the likelihood that interregional and international socio-economic equalization will occur
