Antes Que Me Esqueça
«Sem querer estar a repetir a fórmula que Magritte usou para a imagem do cachimbo, começo por deixar claro que as recordações que junto neste volume, embora podendo à primeira vista parecê-lo, não representam as memórias das quase quatro décadas que passei na diplomacia e, conjunturalmente, na atividade política. Não excluo que, um dia, possa ir por esse caminho, mas não é o caso deste livro. Aqui apenas se acolhem textos que fui inserindo, entre 2009 e 2022, no meu blogue Duas ou Três Coisas, nos quais registei factos, episódios e retratos retirados daquelas minhas experiências, que entendi poderem oferecer algum interesse de leitura. São o produto de uma escrita solta, ao ritmo rápido da tecla, ao jeito da linguagem despretensiosa que é corrente nas plataformas de comunicação imediata.» Francisco Seixas da Costa
The Developing Place of Portugal in the European Union
"After decades of isolation and a turbulent transition to democracy, Portugal's integration into the European Union has given political, economic, social, and cultural stability to a country that had to overcome the trauma of losing an empire. This volume clearly is a major contribution to the study of how Portugal became part of the European Union as a political system and its development towards Europeanization and domestication.Magone first lays a theoretical framework for the study of Europeanization and discusses political parties, the political system, and Portuguese society in terms of Europeanization. He then examines public administration, how the European Union and the OECD impacte...

Portugal Since the 2008 Economic Crisis
Portuguese democracy is now celebrating its 50th anniversary. Portugal joined the European Union (EU) in 1986, but the enduring legacies of the country’s transition process from authoritarianism to democracy became apparent during the European sovereign debt crisis, when Portugal experienced its third bailout since the institutionalization of democratic government. Although the first decade after EU accession was one of slight growth and investment, Portugal’s economy has, in effect, been performing poorly since the beginning of the 21st century. Among the major changes in Portuga - as in much of Southern Europe - as a result of the ‘great recession’, was the emergence of important n...
