Attività di ricerca:
1) Sustainable economic policy and management; sustainable development planning

2) Extreme Lands Program: field survey at the edge of Anthroposphere, of the marginal human habitats (highlands, Tundra, Taiga, steppes, savannah, swamps and marshes, deserts, remote islands…): the environmental, socio-demographic and economic situation and prospects of the communities dwelling in the remote but historically inhabited places that transcend conventional politico-administrative frontiers where ethno-diversity and bio-diversity have been mutually sustaining (the role of local communities as ecological sentinels).
Empirical assessment of the implications of environmental change, climate uncertainties and global market

3) Sustainability and Business Management

4) Theoretical issues: interdisciplinary and cross-cultural exploration of ‘sustainability’ and ‘wellness’ concepts, criteria and measurability – based on the analysis of the native adaptive survival strategy in the extreme lands (as a source of scientific hypothesis).

5) Methodological concerns: role of Human Ecology and Ethnography, and refinement of the qualitative methods for economics and business studies.
