Call for Papers Papeles de Europa’ Special Issue: Rurality in Transformation

Guest editors of the issue: Lucía Vicent and Paul Swagemakers

Depopulation, aging, digitalization, the ecological transition, new forms of entrepreneurship, the diversification of economic activities, and the redefinition of social relations create a complex scenario that requires an interdisciplinary approach.
