Enciclopédia das relações internacionais
"Um volume que explica os temas mais importantes das relações internacionais e da política externa nacional. Cada entrada é escrita pelo maior especialista português da matéria. Uma obra escrita por mais de cem autores. De há muito que se sentia no panorama científico e editorial português a lacuna que esta obra, ainda que certamente de forma incompleta, pretende colmatar. Procuramos que seja um instrumento de fácil consulta e de manuseamento intuitivo, destinado a atribuir aos seus leitores a obtenção de informação sintética e de referências bibliográficas, que se espera que funcionem como ponto de partida para o aprofundamento dos temas mais relevantes para a compreensão do mundo e das interações entre os atores internacionais. Com afinidades eletivas com a Ciência Política, a Economia, o Direito, a História ou a Geografia, procurou-se dar conta da densidade teórica e empírica do estudo das relações internacionais através das leituras e interpretações de reputados especialistas nestes ramos do conhecimento. A amplitude das áreas que se tentou cobrir e o desenvolvimento dado aos temas tornam-na muito mais do que um simples dicionário."--Editor.
The Paradox of ASEAN Centrality: Timor-Leste Betwixt and Between
ASEAN, as being on the very core of this matter, deserves close attention through the case of Timor-Leste for understanding international strategic inclusion-exclusion dynamics. The manuscript we provide tackles this case through a small country ‘in-between’ the core global actors of economic and political concern: Timor-Leste as a ground for grasping large-scale complexities in decision-making processes, as much as the micro-understanding and dynamics of a small country ‘within the game’ – if not even on the forefront.
The Post-Colonial Security Dilemma
This book examines the development of Timor-Leste’s foreign policy since achieving political independence in 2002. It considers the influence of Timor-Leste’s historical experiences with foreign intervention on how the small, new state has pursued security. The book argues that efforts to secure the Timorese state have been motivated by a desire to reduce foreign intervention and dependence upon other actors within the international community. Timor-Leste’s desire for ‘real’ independence — characterized by the absence of foreign interference — permeates all spheres of its international political, cultural and economic relations and foreign policy discourse. Securing the state entails projecting a legitimate identity in the international community to protect and guarantee political recognition of sovereign status, an imperative that gives rise to Timor-Leste’s aspirational foreign policy. The book examines Timor-Leste’s key bilateral and multilateral diplomatic relations, its engagement with the global normative order, and its place within the changing Asia-Pacific region.

The Dynamics of Transitional Justice
The Dynamics of Transitional Justice draws on the case of East Timor in order to reassess how transitional justice mechanisms actually play out at the local level. Transitional justice mechanisms – including trials and truth commissions – have become firmly entrenched as part of the United Nations ‘tool-kit’ for successful post-conflict recovery. It is now commonly assumed that by establishing individual accountability for human rights violations, and initiating truth-seeking and reconciliation programs, individuals and societies will be assisted to ‘come to terms’ with the violent past and states will make the ‘transition’ to peaceful, stable liberal democracies. Set against...
The Presence of China and the Chinese Diaspora in Portugal and Portuguese-Speaking Territories
This book brings together works by specialists from various areas of the social sciences to reflect on the presence of China in Portugal and in Portuguese-speaking territories. From the first Chinese coolies that migrated to the former Portuguese colonies more than 100 years ago, to the current investments along the Belt and Road Initiative, we take the pulse of this historic, social, political and economic presence and flows, that continues to renew and reinvent itself in the face of the challenges of contemporaneity.

Constitutionalism Under Extreme Conditions
This book examines the problem of constitutional change in times of crisis. Divided into five main parts, it both explores and interrogates how public law manages change in periods of extraordinary pressure on the constitution. In Part I, “Emergency, Exception and Normalcy,” the contributors discuss the practices and methods that could be used to help legitimize the use of emergency powers without compromising the constitutional principles that were created during a period of normalcy. In Part II, “Terrorism and Warfare,” the contributors assess how constitutions are interpreted during times of war, focusing on the tension between individual rights and safety. Part III, “Public Hea...
