After the Fall of the Berlin Wall, Central Eastern European cities (CEEc)integrated the globalized world, characterized by a core-periphery structureand hierarchical interactions between cities. This article gives evidence ofthe core-periphery effect on CEEc in 2013 in terms of differentiation of theirurban functions after 1989. We investigate the position of all CEEc intransnational company networks in 2013. We examine the orientations ofownership links between firms, the spatial patterns of these networks and thespecialization of firms in CEEc involved. The major contribution of this paperconsists in giving proof of a core-periphery structure within Central EasternEurope itself, but also of the diffusion of innovations theory as not onlylarge cities, but also medium-sized and small ones are part of themultinational networks of firms. These findings provide significant insightsfor the targeting of specific regional policies of the European Union.
