ABSTRACT The austerity policies being implemented in many European countries and in Portugal, particularly as a consequence of the bailout agreement signed between the Portuguese Government and the Troika, bring measures to increase performance and reduce costs. The analysis of Local Governments’ efficiency and the assessment of its determinants is highly relevant for policy purposes. The aim of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of the 278 mainland municipalities in Portugal with a two-stage procedure, combining DEA methods in a first phase with fractional response models in the second stage.

  • Hygiea Internationalis
    Regional Dynamics and Social Diversity – Portugal in the 21st Century Teresa Ferreira Rodrigues Introduction hrough its history Portugal always presented regional differences concerning population distribution, as well as fertility and mortality trends. Local T specificities related to life and death levels reflect diverse socioeconomic conditions and also different health coverage. We will try to diagnose the main concerns and future challenges related to those regional differences, using quantitative and qualitative data on demographic trends, well-being average levels and health services offer. We want to demonstrate that this kind of academic researches can be useful to policy makers, helping them: (1) to implement regional directed policies; (2) to reduce internal diversity; and (3) to improve quality of life in the most excluded areas. Our first issue consists in measuring the link between Portuguese modernization and asymmetries on social well-being levels1. Today Portugal faces some modera- tion on population growth rates, a total dependency on migration rates, both exter- nal and internal, as well as aged structures. But national average numbers are totally different from those at a regional level, mainly if using non demographic indicators, such as average living patterns or purchase power2. The paper begins with a short diagnosis on the huge demographic and socioeco- nomic changes of the last decades. In the second part we analyze the extent of the link between those changes and regional convergence on well-being levels. Finally, we try to determine the extent of regional contrasts, their main causes and the rela- tionship between social change and local average wealth standards, as well as the main problems and challenges that will be under discussion in the years to come, in what concerns to health policies.

  • From Iron to the Industrial Cloud: Memory and (De)Industrialization at the Lisnave and Setenave Shipyards
    Preliminary communication Submitted: 3. 1. 2020. FROM IRON TO THE Accepted: 6. 3. 2020. DOI: 10.15176/vol57no105 INDUSTRIAL CLOUD: UDK 338.45:629.5.081(469)»196/198» MEMORY AND (DE)INDUSTRIALIZATION AT THE LISNAVE AND SETENAVE SHIPYARDS JOÃO PEDRO SANTOS Institute of Contemporary History – NOVA FCSH, Lisbon In the 1960s, Portugal lived through a period of rapid industrialization in what became known as the golden cycle of Portuguese industry. This late industrialization makes Por- tugal one of the countries ruled by a peripheral Fordism, which is particularly relevant in the region of Setúbal, since several heavy industry companies settled there, among them Setenave and Lisnave. These shipyards are described by workers as being “a city within the city” mostly given their dimension and labour contingent. However, this industrial “city” was more than a place of economic production; it was also a place for sociability. Informed by semi-structured in-depth interviews with former shipyard work- ers, and focused on the meaning they attribute to the changes experienced between the 1970s and the deindustrialization period of the 1980s, this article analyses the transition from a working culture based on solidarity to a culture dominated by competition and individualism. Keywords: deindustrialization, Setúbal, working-class, shipyards, memory INTRODUCTION When I started this research in 20151 in the region where I was born – Setúbal (Portugal)2 – my main objective was to uncover the bottom-up version of events that were presented 1 This paper is the result of my Master’s research (completed in 2017) as well as work in progress on my PhD thesis, funded by a scholarship from the Foundation for Science and Technology (SFRH/BD/133510/2017).

  • Seismicity and Earthquake Engineering in the Extended Mediterranean Region
    SC/BES/DRE/2010/1 Paris, France. January 2010 Original: English REDUCTION OF EARTHQUAKE LOSSES IN THE EXTENDED MEDITERRANEAN REGION - RELEMR - Seismicity and Earthquake Engineering in the Extended Mediterranean Region Workshop Report Lisbon, Portugal 26 – 29 October 2009 Contact: [email protected] Foreword In many countries of the Mediterranean Basin, disasters caused by natural and environmental hazards continue to exact a heavy toll in terms of the loss of human lives and the destruction of economic and social infrastructure. With population growth in the coastal areas of countries concerned, expanding public and private infrastructure, and continuing trends towards urbanization and industrialization, the risks from great disasters are expected to increase over the coming years and decades. Among the numerous natural disasters that the countries of the Mediterranean have experienced, earthquakes have historically had great impacts. It is necessary to mobilize scientific knowledge and technological know-how to assess earthquake hazards in the Extended Mediterranean Region (EMR) and to strengthen disaster mitigation measures. To this end, regional collaboration needs to be encouraged. Since 1993, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have been cooperating with EMR scientific and engineering organizations under the programme: Reduction of Earthquake Losses in the Extended (formerly Eastern) Mediterranean Region (RELEMR). The Programme benefits from the collaboration of the International Seismological Centre (ISC) and other entities. The purpose of the Programme is to provide a platform for examining regional approaches to improve seismic data and earthquake risk mitigation. A number of collaborative activities have taken place under this initiative.
