  • SYRIZA, Bloco and Podemos
    Transnational networking and cooperation among neo-reformist left parties in Southern Europe during the Eurozone crisis: SYRIZA, Bloco and Podemos Vladimir Bortun The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. March 2019 Abstract European parties to the left of social democracy have always lagged behind the main political families in terms of transnational cooperation at the level of the EU. However, the markedly transnational character of the Eurozone crisis and of the management of that crisis has arguably provided a uniquely propitious context for these parties to reduce that gap. This research project aims to establish whether they achieved that by focusing on three parties that were particularly prone to seeking an increase in their transnational cooperation: SYRIZA from Greece, Bloco de Esquerda from Portugal and Podemos from Spain. For these parties not only come from the member states most affected by the crisis, both economically and politically, but they also share several programmatic and strategic features favouring such an increase. By using a mix of document analysis, semi-structured interviews and non-participatory observation, the thesis discusses both the informal and formal transnational networking and cooperation among the three parties. This discussion reveals four key findings, with potentially useful insights for wider transnational party cooperation that are to be pursued in future research. Firstly, the transnational networking and cooperation among SYRIZA, Bloco and Podemos did increase at some point during the crisis, particularly around SYRIZA’s electoral victory in January 2015. Secondly, since the U-turn of that government in July 2015, SYRIZA’s relationship with both Bloco and Podemos has declined significantly, as reflected in their diverging views of the EU.

  • Working Paper 2
    WORKING PAPER 2 The United States and the Portuguese Decolonization (1974 – 1976) Kenneth Maxwell, David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, Harvard University WORKING PAPER N.º 2 The United States and the Portuguese Decolonization (1974 – 1976) Kenneth Maxwell I The relationships between the United States and Portugal had always had a special cast to them as the result of the Azores base. And one of the most peculiar aspects of the U.S. role in Portugal and the former Portuguese territories in Africa, is that the Azores base not only contributed to the longevity of Portugal’s African empire, but also, because of the economic consequences of the U.S. use of that base to re-supply Israel in 1973, became one of the most important immediate causes of the coup d’état of April 25, 1974, which brought about its demise. Between the 1940s and the 1970s, there had been a succession of quite distinct turning points, particular moments when a variety of possibilities and options existed in the situation on all sides—in Portugal, in the United States, in Europe in general, in South Africa—that might have helped produce some change in Portugal’s intransigent stance in Africa. But on each occasion when a “window for change” occurred, Portugal, rather than compromising in the face of the inevitable, instead took a more stubborn stance. And on each occasion the Azores were an ingredient in the equation.i Between 1944 and 1947 in Portugal, for instance, those opposed to the Salazar dictatorship had expected that a process of democratization would follow the end of the Second World War and the victory of the Allies.

  • Geopolitical Traditions: a Century of Geopolotical Thought
    GEOPOLITICAL TRADITIONS Condemned as an intellectual poison by the late American geographer Richard Hartshorne, geopolitics has confounded its critics. Today it remains a popular and important intellectual field despite the persistent allegations that geopolitics helped to legitimate Hitler’s policies of spatial expansionism and the domination of place. Using insights from critical geopolitics and cultural history, the contributors focus on how geopolitics has been created, negotiated and contested within a variety of intellectual and popular contexts. Geopolitical Traditions argues that geopolitics has to take responsibility for the past while at the same time reconceptualizing geopolitics in a manner which accounts for the dramatic changes in the late twentieth century. The book is divided into three sections: first ‘Rethinking Geopolitical Histories’ concentrates on how geopolitical conversations between European scholars and the wider world unfolded; second ‘Geopolitics, Nation and Spirituality’ considers how geopolitical writings have been strongly influenced by religious iconography and doctrine, with examples drawn from Catholicism, Judaism and Hinduism; and third ‘Reclaiming and Refocusing Geopolitics’ contemplates how geopolitics has been reformulated in the post-war period with illustrations from France and the United States. Geopolitical Traditions brings together scholars working in a variety of disciplines and locations in order to explore a hundred years of geopolitical thought. Klaus Dodds is Lecturer in Human Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London, and David Atkinson is Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Hull. CRITICAL GEOGRAPHIES Edited by Tracey Skelton, Lecturer in International Studies, Nottingham Trent University, and Gill Valentine, Professor of Geography, The University of Sheffield. This series offers cutting-edge research organized into four themes of concepts, scale, transformations and work.

  • A Freeborn Azorean Who Chronicled Portugal's Contemporary Politics
    A freeborn Azorean who chronicled Portugal’s contemporary politics Pedro Aires Oliveira1 The historian José Medeiros Ferreira, who left us this year at the age of 72, will be remembered as one of the most remarkable figures of the “1962 generation,” as one of the chief architects of the pro-European reorientation of post-revolutionary Portugal, as well as someone who intervened in the academic and public debates of his country with a spirit of unflinching rationalism. Raised in Ponta Delgada, Medeiros Ferreira (b. 1942) was a Philosophy student at the Faculty of Letters when he joined the student struggles that in 1962 defied the Estado Novo regime in a series of memorable protests. He proved to be a courageous and charismatic spokesman of the students’ movement, succeeding Jorge Sampaio (the future leader of the Socialist Party and later President of the Republic) as the Secretary of the Inter-Association Conference. This notoriety, however, came at a price. In November of that same year, he was detained by the secret police, PIDE, and held in isolation in the Aljube jail for a short period. Having joined the Democratic Opposition lists for the 1965 elections, he would once again be punished by Salazar’s regime—this time, he was expelled from all Portuguese universities for a period of three years. Medeiros Ferreira later claimed that this suspension was a kind of blessing in disguise, since it encouraged him to look for a new life in a free and democratic society. In 1968, the prospect of having to fulfill his military service in Africa, fighting a war to which he was opposed, persuaded him that the time had come to leave Portugal.

  • The Nature of Franchise and Elections in Goa During the Nineteenth Century
    © 2014. Journal of the Institute for Research in Social Sciences and Humanities IRISH Vol. 9, No. 2, pp. 149-166 The Nature of Franchise and Elections in Goa during the Nineteenth Century Carmen Sharmila Pais* and N. Shyam Bhat** Abstract One of the most endearing reforms conceded to Goa and other overseas colonies of Portugal during the constitutional period as a consequence of the liberal changes in 1820 in Portugal was the system of representation at various levels of administration. A study of elections shows that the electoral system and the nature of franchise had evolved over several decades during the nineteenth century. In fact, the system of election and the representation of people during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries constitute unique features in the administration of colonial Goa. Interestingly, colonial Goa had experienced representative government much before British India. The present paper is an attempt to critically examine the nature of enfranchisement and election that prevailed in Goa against the background of the political system in Portugal and the Portuguese legislations in Goa. A study of the system of election followed in Goa reflects the political trends in Portugal and Europe. It also shows the colonial character of the Portuguese rule in Goa. Keywords: Assemblies in the Parishes, Census Commission, Cortes, Deputado, Domicile, Franchise, Home Government, Municipality, Plurinominal, Uninominal Many political theorists look upon elections as the nucleus of democracy because they consider the opinion of the people and allow their participation in the decision making process. This trend o f ‘Greater Participation’ became popular since the seventeenth century, when ideas of liberalism enlarged enfranchisement and permitted more people to participate in the political affairs of the state.

  • Searching for Mediterranean Influences in Early Neolithic Settlement of Valada Do Mato (Évora, Portugal)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Revistes Catalanes amb Accés Obert AND WHAT ELSE BESIDE CARDIAL POTTERY? SEARCHING FOR MEDITERRANEAN INFLUENCES IN EARLY NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT OF VALADA DO MATO (ÉVORA, PORTUGAL) Mariana Diniz* Abstract: Valada do Mato is an Early Neolithic settlement located in Southern Portugal, around 100km and 450km, re - spectively from the nearest Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. In spite of their Atlantic geographical position, Valada do Mato just like other Southern Portugal Early Neolithic sites strongly participates in a Neolithic Mediterranean identity shar - ing technological, economic and symbolic items with other western agro-pastoralist groups settled in both sides of Mediterranean basin. Being so, this paper pretends to look for both material and immaterial Mediterranean traits in Valada do Mato archaeo - logical record, moving beyond the ubiquitous cardial pottery, searching for a more complex economy of relations within western Mediterranean cultural geography. Keywords: Early Neolithic; Western Mediterranean Networks; Site-Catchment Analysis; Raw Materials Sources; Pottery Styles. Resumo: Valada do Mato é um povoado do Neolítico antigo localizado no Sul de Portugal, a cerca de 100km e 450km, respec - tivamente da costa Atlântica e Mediterrânea mais próximas. Apesar da sua posição Atlântica, o povoado da Valada do Mato, como acontece com outros sítios do Neolítico antigo, no Sul de Portugal, integra-se culturalmente no Neolítico Mediterrâneo, partil - hando elementos tecnológicos, económicos e simbólicos com outras comunidades agro-pastoris implantadas nas duas margens do Mediterrâneo. É por isso, objectivo deste texto, identificar componentes materiais e imateriais de origem Mediterrânea que integrem o registo ar - queológico da Valada do Mato, partindo para além da omnipresente cerâmica cardial, em busca de uma economia de relações culturais alargada, no quadro do Mediterrâneo ocidental.

The influx of new people and things rapidly transformed it into a multicultural country in permanent contact with the rest of Europe and the wider world. While we possess a vast amount of knowledge describing the overseas contacts and acquisition of goods from historical documents, in recent years archaeological excavations have begun to reveal direct evidence of these interactions. This includes thousands of people and objects such as ceramics, ivory and stone artefacts produced in overseas territories in Africa, South America and Asia.
