  • Círculos Eleitorais Diz Respeito, Com Impacto, Fundamentalmente, Nas Eleições Para a Assembleia Da República
    Proposta “Um Portugal mais Coeso Pela Democracia” Hélder Guerreiro Resumo O processo democrático e a democracia exigem um trabalho permanente de perceção sobre as realidades que assentam muitas vezes em transformações incompletas ou sentidos de pertença que nos escapam. A receita de hoje, quando queremos debelar o défice de participação das pessoas no processo democrático, passa sempre pela discussão em torno de novos modelos de democracia de proximidade nas suas dimensões representativa, participativa e/ou colaborativa. Os orçamentos participativos, os modelos de simplificação e modernização administrativa e os serviços de proximidade transformados em acesso online construíram uma narrativa de acesso permanente (à decisão e ao serviço) que, aparentemente, não está a contribuir para aumentar a participação das pessoas no processo eleitoral, designadamente para a Assembleia da República. Olhar para esta questão de forma especifica, obriga não só a um olhar para a recente história da democracia em Portugal, mas, fundamentalmente, obriga a promover uma discussão alargada sobre fundamentos, meios e processos de valorização da participação/implicação das pessoas no “desenho” do seu próprio destino. Neste aspeto as questões de proximidade ligadas a questões de pertença têm, do meu ponto de vista, o papel mais relevante na medida em que só assim se consegue associar de forma direta o voto ao representante. Claro que esta questão tem algumas variáveis associadas, mas, no presente trabalho, o território (circulo eleitoral) será a questão analisada. Não porque se entenda que pode resolver sozinho, mas porque é a base para que as outras variáveis possam ser analisadas. É neste sentido que propomos a criação interna de uma unidade de missão para a promoção da participação cidadã nos processos eleitorais democráticos e propomos, desde logo, a alteração à lei eleitoral no que aos círculos eleitorais diz respeito, com impacto, fundamentalmente, nas eleições para a Assembleia da República.

  • Regional Employment in Portugal: Differences and Cyclical Synchronisation
    CORREIA L., ALVES M., Regional Science Inquiry, Vol. IX, (2), 2017, pp. 159-175 159 REGIONAL EMPLOYMENT IN PORTUGAL: DIFFERENCES AND CYCLICAL SYNCHRONISATION Leonida CORREIA Assistant Professor Department of Economy, Sociology and Management (DESG), Centre for Transdisciplinary Development Studies (CETRAD), University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) Quinta de Prados, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal. Tel: +351 259 350699; [email protected] Marina ALVES Master’s degree in Economic and Management Sciences in UTAD [email protected] Abstract This paper analyses the specificities of employment in Portuguese regions at a disaggregated level of NUTS III, comparing the differences of several indicators between the last two censuses. It also examines the synchronisation of regional employment cycles over the 2000-2014 period, using the information provided for the new nomenclature of NUTS. The comparison of several employment’s characteristics (total and by sex, age group, sector of activity and main occupation) across the 7 regions and 25 sub-regions allowed us to conclude that Portugal is marked by substantial regional specificities. The analysis of the evolution of employment ‘cycles highlight the substantial reduction in the employment rate since the beginning of the 2000s, with particular intensity in the period of the recent crisis, and considerable differences across regions and at the intraregional level. The results from the synchronisation reveal a great heterogeneity in the degree of correlation between the sub- national cycles and the national cycle. Additionally, they suggest that, in general, the cyclical pattern of the sub-regions is more closely related to the regions that they belong to than that of the Portuguese cycle.

  • Fortins E Recintos-Torre Do Alto Alentejo:Antecâmara Da “Romanização”Dos Campos1
    Fortins e recintos-torre do Alto Alentejo:antecâmara da “romanização”dos campos1 RUI MATALOTO2 RESUMOPretendeu-se com este trabalho efectuar a revisão de um conjunto de entidades arqueoló- gicas, documentadas no Alto Alentejo, cujas características arquitectónicas e de ubiquação admitem o reconhecimento de dois modelos de instalação distintos: fortins e recintos- -torre. Ambos foram objecto de análise, permitindo enquadrar a ocupação nos finais da República e inícios do período Imperial, devendo corresponder aos mais antigos modelos de instalação romanos em meio rural. ABSTRACTThis work reviews a group of archaeological sites, documented from the Alto Alentejo, whose architectonic characteristics and ubiquity allow us to propose two types of installation: forts and tower enclosures. These sites were analyzed and dated to the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Imperial era; they correspond to the earliest types of Roman installation in a rural context. Introdução: bases, dados e propósitos O conhecimento da realidade arqueológica do Alto Alentejo alterou-se substancialmente na última década, derivado, em grande medida, de intensos trabalhos de prospecção, muitos deles resultantes de acções individuais ou de trabalhos de Arqueologia de Salvamento, cujo máximo expoente é, sem dúvida, o Plano de Minimização do Impacto Arqueológico do Regolfo da Barragem de Alqueva. O elevado número de sítios identificados em prospecções de superfície começa a expor-nos um conjunto de entidades arqueológicas, até ao momento, totalmente desconhecidas,

  • The Multiplier Effect of European Union Funds in the Alentejo Region, Portugal, Between 2014-2020
    ISSN 2411-9571 (Print) European Journal of Economics January - April 2021 ISSN 2411-4073 (online) and Business Studies Volume 7, Issue 1 The Multiplier Effect of European Union Funds in the Alentejo Region, Portugal, Between 2014-2020 Diamantino Ribeiro Instituto Jurídico Portucalense and Universidade de Évora Natacha Jesus-Silva Instituto Jurídico Portucalense, Universidade Portucalense Infante D. Henrique João Ribeiro Instituto Jurídico Portucalense and Universidade da Beira Interior Abstract The Partnership Agreement established between the European Union and the Member States for the implementation of the European Structural and Investment Funds for the period 2014-2020 has come to an end. It is, therefore, important to understand what impact the Partnership Agreement had on public and private investments in the different Portuguese regions. Support for regional investment has allowed the construction or modernization of collective infrastructures, such as schools, promotion of cultural and natural heritage, investment in energy efficiency, investment in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for public services, develop research and development initiatives, as well as urban rehabilitation and mobility. This also includes investments of intermunicipal and business nature. This paper is part of an extended study that analyses the multiplier impact of the application of European Union funds in public and private investment in the 7 Portuguese regions: Porto and North of Portugal, Centro, Lisbon and Tagus Valley, Alentejo, Algarve, Azores and Madeira. In this article we analyse the multiplier impact of the investment of the European funds allocated to the Alentejo Region, in Portugal, under the H2020 Program until the month of March 2020. Keywords: Alentejo, H2020, European, value capture.
