  • The Portuguese Agrarian Reform: Why No Violent Repression?
    Departamento de Ciência Política e Políticas Públicas The Portuguese Agrarian Reform: Why no Violent Repression? Ana Rita Monteiro Marques Dissertação submetida como requisito parcial para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciência Política Orientador(a): Doutora Filipa Raimundo, Professora Auxiliar Convidada, ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa Agradecimentos À professora Nancy Bermeo por me ter dado a faísca que despertou esta ideia. A todos os professores que já tive por me ajudarem a subir aos ombros de gigantes, e em especial à Filipa Raimundo por ter sido sempre uma força positiva e de motivação durante todo este processo. Aos meus pais, por serem os melhores educadores que alguma vez conheci e por me terem incutido uma vontade eterna de aprender. À Inês, à Martinha, ao Tomás e ao Francisco por não me deixarem crescer e por partilharem comigo a sua curiosidade e fascínio pelo mundo. I Resumo: Esta dissertação examina a questão da não violência na implementação da reforma agrária em Portugal (1974-6). Através da análise de dados de arquivo e de entrevistas a dissertação explica que, apesar da crise de estado e das ações violentas que decorriam, durante a transição democrática, nos centros urbanos do país, que as ocupações de terra, tanto legais como ilegais, não levam a ação violenta no meio rural. Usando o método de triangulação demonstra-se que a articulação de um conjunto de fatores contribuí para o desenrolar de um processo pacífico. É a ausência de forças conservadores assim como a ausência de uma organização de classe juntamente com o radicalismo das forças de esquerda e a sua articulação simbiótica com as forças governamentais que faz com que, ao contrário do esperado, nenhum dos atores recorra a ações violentas.

  • Tours Around the Algarve
    BARLAVENTO BARLAVENTO Região de Turismo do Algarve SAGRES TOUR SAGRES SAGRES TOUR SAGRES The Algarve is the most westerly part of mainland Europe, the last harbouring place before entering the waters of the Atlantic, a region where cultures have mingled since time immemorial. Rotas & Caminhos do Algarve (Routes and Tours of the Algarve) aims to provide visitors with information to help them plan a stay full of powerful emotions, a passport to adventure, in which the magic of nature, excellent hospitality, the grandeur of the Algarve’s cultural heritage, but also those luxurious and cosmopolitan touches all come together. These will be tours which will lure you into different kinds of activity and adventure, on a challenge of discovery. The hundreds of beaches in the Algarve seduce people with their white sands and Atlantic waters, which sometimes surge in sheets of spray and sometimes break on the beaches in warm waves. These are places to relax during lively family holidays, places for high-energy sporting activity, or for quiet contemplation of romantic sunsets. Inland, there is unexplored countryside, with huge areas of nature reserves, where you can follow the majestic flight of eagles or the smooth gliding of the storks. Things that are always mentioned about the people of the Algarve are their hospitality and their prowess as story-tellers, that they are always ready to share experiences, and are open to CREDITS change and diversity. The simple sophistication of the cuisine, drawing inspiration from the sea and seasoned with herbs, still Property of the: Algarve Tourism Board; E-mail: [email protected]; Web: www.visitalgarve.pt; retains a Moorish flavour, in the same way as the traditional Head Office: Av.
