• 2005 July: the Master in Non Farm Activities and Rural Development in Developing Countries has been activated at the SPES Development Studies Research Centre.

The aim of the Master is to provide a rigorous and critical introduction to rural development as a process of change in societies on the periphery of the global economy. The course deals with rural development from a multidisciplinary perspective and focuses on non-farm activities as the major key to growth and change in rural areas. A specific emphasis is given to industrial districts and clusters of small and intermediate firms that appear as the major form taken by non-farm activities in rural areas.

Please follow the link to the Master's home page, http://w3.uniroma1.it/spes/master.htm to learn further details and how to apply.
