Mediating Policy
Amongst the most serious consequences of the 2008 global financial collapse and sovereign debt crisis were a series of unprecedented international bailouts for Greece, Ireland, and Portugal between 2010 and 2011. This book analyses the development policies of Greece, Ireland, and Portugal between 1990 and 2008, before the Eurozone crisis. It identifies national-level differences between the policy strategies and outcomes that have characterized recent developments in the Greek, Irish, and Portuguese political economies. In addition, it provides an explanation for these differences that takes into account variations in political institutions and state-society relations. In doing so, it locate...
Development of the Portugese Economy
This book reveals how the previously weak Portuguese economy has now experienced growth, convergence, structural change and international competition. David Corkhill analyses the Europeanization of the Portuguese economy in the context of closer European integration, globalization and the struggle to achieve international competitiveness. It also assesses the pitfalls Portugal may face as part of Europe.
Higher Education in Portugal 1974-2009
A comprehensive, wide ranging and detailed account of the unfolding of higher education and higher education policy in Portugal from 1974 to 2009 by leading policy-makers and scholars, with the explicit purpose of showing how different disciplinary canons and perspectives contribute to the study of higher education and higher education policy including Law and Science Policy perspectives. Whilst focusing on one referential system, this book deals with current policy issues emerging in the wake of the post Bologna period. It also examines their long term historical origins in addition to the measures taken to address them. The substantive chapters are preceded by a detailed Introductory overview that places the issues treated in this volume in a solidly European perspective and sets out explicitly the differences in the dominant political, cultural and social values that set Portuguese as other Continental European systems of higher education apart from their Anglo Saxon counterparts.
The View from Prague
This work is the result of the Forum 2000 conferences initiated by Václav Havel and Elie Wiesel. The book is based mainly on the first five conferences which were held in Prague from 1997. The first essay written by Václav Havel deals with spiritual preconditions of the global survival of humankind, and the second one is the quintessence of Havel's views on the world which we have inherited as well as his views on our hopes for the future. The book closes with Havel's personal reflection on the deeper meaning and aim of the Forum 2000 meetings. Subsequent chapters analyze and interpret the ideas that were expressed by the speakers and interlocutors of the first five conferences in which they tried to identify and understand the primary issues facing mankind globally. Reflections deal with the main dimensions of globalization and with their synchronicities as well as asynchronicities based on the quintessences of the annual conference reports.

Honest Broker
Based on exclusive interviews with the United Nations Secretary-General himself, this is the first book to explain how António Guterres thinks and operates, in an era of renewed great power competition and rising nationalism. The UN leader was re-elected for a second term starting in 2022; yet, after five years in the job, Guterres' discreet diplomacy continues to intrigue even politicians, diplomats and analysts. Honest Broker introduces a world leader to the world public, revealing Guterres' profound religion convictions, and his views on issues as wide-ranging as women's rights, gay rights, global terrorism and the political influence of social media. Pedro Latoeiro and Filipe Domingues ...
EU Higher Education Law
In March 2010, the European Higher Education Area was officially launched, proclaiming the culmination of a ten-year timeframe projected at Bologna in 1999, when the education ministers of 29 European states signed a declaration that would fundamentally influence the future of their higher education systems. Forty-seven countries, including all EU Member States and other countries as far afield as Kazakhstan, now take part in the so-called 'Bologna Process'. Remarkably, this vast enterprise, which has led to rapid and sweeping changes in almost all higher education systems in Europe, has taken place outside the framework of the European Union and the Council of Europe. In fact, as this impor...
Eu Estive Lá - 50 Anos de Democracia em Conversas
Foram cinquenta anos onde me apeei em dezasseis estações, numa viagem preparada no Verão de 2023, iniciada nesse Outono e acabada em Abril de 2024. Doi “isto” e foi “assim”? Eu estive lá: sei que estas histórias foram bem contadas, com a vertigem dos factos revista hoje com a serenidade da distância. Homenageando a memória e o poder que ela tem. Mas se este livro pode ser importante para muitos leitores que também estiveram “lá”, será sobretudo importante para os que não tendo estado, precisam de saber como foi.

Portugal Agora
A editora Caminho das Palavras, em parceria com a Portugal Agora, acaba de publicar o livro Portugal – Estratégia e Ação, projeto editorial que vem apontar caminhos possíveis em três áreas estratégicas para o País: atratividade em termos de turismo e investimento; educação, inovação e investigação; e empreendedorismo. A plataforma Portugal Agora defende, desde o seu lançamento, uma visão estratégica assente em três pilares: um Portugal Atrativo, um Portugal do Conhecimento e um Portugal Empreendedor. Depois de cerca de três anos de atividade, propôs-se conceber um livro com contributos de personalidades reputadas, correspondentes a cada um dos eixos do projeto. Este livro compila textos que refletem um enquadramento e uma avaliação pessoal, visão estratégica e linhas de desenvolvimento para cada um destes temas em Portugal. No final de cada tópico, são apresentadas propostas para o futuro, valorizadas em termos de aplicabilidade, inovação e impacto esperado. Pretende-se, com esta iniciativa, consolidar consensos e facilitar a passagem da estratégia à ação – gerando propostas concretas para políticas públicas ou iniciativas da sociedade civil.
