The Master's Program in Regional Development - PMDR conceives development in a multi and interdisciplinary way. In this sense, development is understood as the result of a set of institutional, cultural, economic, political, social and scientific-technological factors, explaining and favoring the process of socioeconomic organization in the different territorial areas.

The PMDR's objective is to contribute to the debate on the multiple faces of development, in its spatial dimension (local, regional, territorial).

As a main challenge, considering the multiscalarity of socioeconomic and cultural processes, it is proposed to understand the complex problem of inserting territorial dynamics into the global dynamics of development.

The studies and research to be implemented in this line are articulated around the debate on regional development and public policies, with an emphasis on socioeconomic, political, historical-cultural and ethical issues, whose processes connect or impact public and private, urban spaces and rural, with the Contestado Territory as its reference context.

1.2. Line of Research: Environments and Socioeconomic and Organizational Dynamics in Territories
