  • Portugal's Economy Contracted Sharply in 2020 As the Spread of The
    2.16. PORTUGAL Portugal’s economy contracted sharply in 2020 as the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic took a heavy toll on all aspects of social and business activities, with a particularly strong impact on the country’s large hospitality sector. Portugal’s GDP is estimated to have fallen by 7.6% in 2020. Quarterly rates closely followed the evolution of the pandemic and the consequent introduction of restrictions. After a cumulative drop of around 17% in the first half of 2020, GDP rebounded by 13.3% in 2020-Q3. However, the resurgence of infections brought new restrictions towards the end of the year and GDP growth weakened to 0.4% in the last quarter. With the introduction of a more stringent lockdown in mid-January 2021, GDP is projected to fall again in the first quarter of 2021, before starting to recover as of the second quarter of the year, with a major rebound in the summer months. This entails expectations for a notable rebound in tourism in the summer, particularly in intra- EU travel, and a more gradual recovery thereafter. However, the tourism sector is projected to remain somewhat below its pre-crisis level until the end of the forecast period. In full-year terms, GDP is projected to grow by 4.1% in 2021 and 4.3% in 2022. A full return to pre-pandemic levels is expected towards the end of 2022 but risks remain significant due to the country’s large dependence on foreign tourism, which continues to face uncertainties related to the evolution of the pandemic.

  • Contribution of Greece to the Victory of the Allies During Ww Ii
    CONTRIBUTION OF GREECE TO THE VICTORY OF THE ALLIES DURING WW II Lt Colonel of Engineering Panayiotis Spyropoulos Historian of the History Directorate of Hellenic Army General Staff The peninsula of Greece has, since antiquity, been a point of confrontation be- tween East and West, as it constitutes an area of utmost strategic value, situated on the flanks of the main axis of operations in East-West direction and vice-versa. Who- ever occupies Greece can effortlessly with his forces harass the flanks or even the rear of troops operating along the aforementioned axis, control the sea line of com- munication from Gibraltar to Suez, and block from the west the sea route from the Black Sea to Propontis (Marmara) Sea, the Hellespont (Straits), the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The geo-strategic value of Greece has been dramatically enhanced during the XXth century, due to the rapid technological development of war equipment (as per the quote of sir Halford Mackinder on the «Heartland»). During the 2nd World War, Italy launched the attack against Greece, without informing its ally, Germany. Berlin was enraged by the Italian action and considered it «totally incoherent» and mistimed, because it was initiated just before wintertime, a season unsuitable for mountain operations, as well as just before the elections in the (still neutral) USA, providing Roosevelt with even more convincing arguments for go- ing to war. Moreover, it criticised the Italians refraining from any seaborne operation, a fact that facilitated the British in debarking on Crete and other islands, significant for their strategic importance; while they left them the margin to deploy in Thessalo- nica.

La Marmora took his inspiration from these troops. His idea was to have a quick and easy-to-manoeuvre Infantry force able to strike the enemy, specifically targeting commanders and other high val- ue or sensitive targets. In addition to this Bersaglieri were used in deep strike oper- ations, and reconnaissance to find routes or enemy formations in close cooperation during the first half of the XIX century with dragoons (cavalry troops that moved the army of the Sardinian Kingdom, like on horse but could dismount and fight as the French, British and Prussian armies, Infantry).

  • 'Something Is Wrong with Our Army…' Command, Leadership & Italian
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 14, ISSUE 1, FALL 2011 Studies ‘Something is wrong with our army…’ Command, Leadership & Italian Military Failure in the First Libyan Campaign, 1940-41. Dr. Craig Stockings There is no question that the First Libyan Campaign of 1940-41 was an Italian military disaster of the highest order. Within hours of Mussolini’s declaration of war British troops began launching a series of very successful raids by air, sea and land in the North African theatre. Despite such early setbacks a long-anticipated Italian invasion of Egypt began on 13 September 1940. After three days of ponderous and costly advance, elements of the Italian 10th Army halted 95 kilometres into Egyptian territory and dug into a series of fortified camps southwest of the small coastal village of Sidi Barrani. From 9-11 December, these camps were attacked by Western Desert Force (WDF) in the opening stages of Operation Compass – the British counter-offensive against the Italian invasion. Italian troops not killed or captured in the rout that followed began a desperate and disjointed withdrawal back over the Libyan border, with the British in pursuit. The next significant engagement of the campaign was at the port-village Bardia, 30 kilometres inside Libya, in the first week of 1941. There the Australian 6 Division, having recently replaced 4 Indian Division as the infantry component of WDF (now renamed 13 Corps), broke the Italian fortress and its 40,000 defenders with few casualties. The feat was repeated at the port of Tobruk, deeper into Libya, when another 27,000 Italian prisoners were taken.

Chief of Mission Priorities As we adopt this new Integrated Country Strategy, Portugal is reaping the benefits of a hard- won economic recovery while raising its international profile. The economy has returned to growth, while rating agencies’ elevation of Portuguese debt to investment grade will cut the cost of capital to finance further economic expansion. Effective Portuguese diplomacy has enabled Lisbon to punch above its weight in EU and global affairs. Portugal’s highly professional armed forces are looking forward to gaining new capabilities and to making a greater contribution to European, African, and Asian security through more deployments as Portugal makes the investments necessary to fulfill its Wales pledge to NATO. Coupled with Portugal’s avowed Atlantic orientation, all of these factors paint a picture of opportunity for

  • CADETS in PORTUGUESE MILITARY ACADEMIES a Sociological Portrait
    CADETS IN PORTUGUESE MILITARY ACADEMIES A sociological portrait Helena Carreiras Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia (Cies_Iscte), Lisboa, Portugal Fernando Bessa Military University Institute, Centre for Research in Security and Defence (CISD), Lisboa, Portugal Patrícia Ávila Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia (Cies_Iscte), Lisboa, Portugal Luís Malheiro Military University Institute, Centre for Research in Security and Defence (CISD), Lisboa, Portugal Abstract The aim of this article is to revisit the question of the social origins of the armed forces officer corps, using data drawn from a survey to all cadets following military training at the three Portuguese service academies in 2016. It puts forward the question of whether the sociological characteristics of the future military elite reveal a pattern of convergence with society or depart from it, in terms of geographical origins, gender and social origins. The article offers a sociological portrait of the cadets and compares it with previous studies, identifying trends of change and continuity. The results show that there is a diversified and convergent recruitment pattern: cadets are coming from a greater variety of regions in the country than in the past; there is a still an asymmetric but improving gender balance; self-recruitment patterns are rather stable, and there is a segmented social origin pointing to the dominance of the more qualified and affluent social classes. In the conclusion questions are raised regarding future civil-military convergence patterns as well as possible growing differences between ranks. Keywords: military cadets, officer corps, social origins, civil-military relations.
