MINDS (Multidisciplinary Inter-institutional Network on Development and Strategies) reflects the convergence among academic trajectories, research interests, policy-making experience and political convictions of a group of individuals concerned with the public dimensions of intellectual and academic work.

In its analytical dimension, the Project is forged by a comprehensive (interdisciplinary) understanding of globalization in both its sources and its effects, and by convergent approaches in the fields of economics of innovation, competition and new regulatory devices, comparative institutional analysis, conflict sociology, business organization and strategy, macro-finance, the developmental state as a key player, international organizations, and social inclusion’ strategies and policies .

It is conceived as set of initiatives, to be developed as a cluster of activities, targeting a broad audience, and aiming to constitute a focused network on development strategies (both in its Public-policy and in its Corporate dimensions) and policy analysis and proposals, having Globalization as a major shaping force .

In its international relations dimension, MINDS aims to contribute to develop an analytical framework and a policy proposal’s basis for the South-South and North-South multilevel dialogue.
