| Rural and Regional Development (in China) |
| Since January 1, 2003 I am working at the General Research Division of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) - doing research on "Sustainable Rural Development (SRD)". This is a follow-up activity to IIASA's European Rural Development Project, which was terminated by December 2002. |
| The main idea of the research is to analyze demographic, economic, geographical, socio-cultural, political and environmental reasons for the widening disparities in the development of rural and urban-industrial areas in China during the last 20 years. We also plan to investigate development options for rural areas outside the traditional sectors of agriculture and forestry. |
| The research will follow the approach of my previous work on China's food security, which resulted in the publication of the ChinaFood CD-ROM and Web Site. |
