TOUDERT, Djamel. Evolution of the territorial polarization of web production: when will the so-called decentralization happen?. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.45, pp.549-580. ISSN 2448-6183.

The polarization of web content production in evolutionary terms raises some questions for understanding the territorial appropriation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). One of them concerns the breadth of the territorial diffusion following strategies in order to deal with digital breaches, and the other is framed in the different evolution paths of regional polarization in developed and emerging countries. These two interests, examined in the core of first-level territorial divisions of the eight countries involved in the study, revealed undifferentiated contexts with persistent macrocephaly and an absent intra-regional convergence of web production.

Keywords : web contents; territorial polarization; macrocephaly; territorial convergence; emerging and developed countries.
