Pope Francis as a Global Actor: Where Politics and Theology Meet
Pope Francis confuses many observers because his papacy does not fit neatly into any pre-established classificatory schemes. To gain a deeper appreciation of Francis's complicated papacy, this volume proposes that an interdisciplinary approach, fusing concepts derived from moral theology and the social sciences, may properly situate Pope Francis as a global political entrepreneur. The chapters in this volume ask what difference it makes that he i…
Of Cultural Backlash and Economic Insecurity in the 2016 American Presidential Election
Em face do forte apoio dos eleitores cristãos evangélicos à campanha presidencial de Donald Trump em 2016, muitos se questionaram sobre o modo como, exatamente, a campanha pró-religiosa de Trump conseguiu prevalecer em uma sociedade crescentemente secular. Este trabalho contempla dois modelos conceituais, oferecidos por Ronald Inglehart e Pippa Norris, para dar algum enquadramento ao fenômeno Trump: a perspectiva da insegurança econômica e a tese…
Religious Groups as Interest Groups: The United States Catholic Bishops in the Welfare Reform Debate of 1995-1996 and the Health Care Reform Debate of 2009-20101
The United States has a long history of religious influence on public policy: the anti-slavery movement, progressivism, prohibition, civil rights, abortion, school vouchers, school prayer and nuclear disarmament are all issues that have involved religion and religious groups in policymaking. In recent decades, the number of religious interest groups (as well as interest groups in general) has greatly expanded, but the role that the religious orga…
Catholic Social Teaching and American Politics: How Can a Church Contribute to Civic Dialogue in a Liberal Democracy
This article examines how the Catholic Church has sought over the past 30 years to participate meaningfully in political life and civic dialogue in the US – a nation constitutionally predicated on a strict separation of church and state, but which accommodates compromises, and a society historically hostile to its minority Catholic population
Roman Catholicism, Secularization and the Recovery of Traditional Communal Values: The 1998 and 2007 Referenda on Abortion in Portugal
In the 34 years since the 25 April 1974 Carnation Revolution, there have been sporadic efforts by progressive forces to legalize abortion in Portugal. This activity has intensified over the past nine years, culminating with two national referenda on the subject. This article investigates the Roman Catholic Church's contemporary role in Portuguese society. That is, would the Church maintain its traditional influential role over public policy forma…

Some Lessons from the Fifteenth Anniversary of the Accession of Portugal and Spain to the European Union
This study examines the integration process and how it has affected political, economic and social developments in Portugal and in Spain over the last 15 years. Since the last century, the obsession of Spanish and Portuguese reformists has been to make up the lost ground with modernized Europe. EU membership has been a critical step in this direction. The record of the past 15 years is that this dream is becoming an economic reality. Despite impr…
Regime Changes and Civil Society in Twentieth-Century Portugal
Civil society is a frequently understudied, yet crucial actor in transitions to democracy. In Portuguese political history, civil society has traditionally been a marginalized actor. During and immediately after the transition to democracy (1974–76), civil society was unable to develop strong organizations. Yet, while Portuguese civil society played a secondary role during the immediate transition period, voluntary associations and organizations …
Civil Society and Democratization in Europe: Comparative Perspectives. Introduction
A theme of interest in the process of democratic consolidation among comparative politics scholars is how political and nonpolitical variables, including economic and class issues, interrelate. Whereas the “transitions to democracy” literature conceptualizes the emergence of democratic regimes to be primarily an elite-driven political process, the actual consolidation of a democratic regime requires the active organization of civil sectors that t…
Portuguese Civil Society under Dictatorship and Democracy, 1910-1996
Portuguese civil society has had an eventful twentieth century. It was a marginal player during the First Republic (1910–1926); it was tightly controlled and manipulated by the Estado Novo authoritarian regime between 1933 and 1974; and it was abruptly set free with the 25 April 1974 coup. Since 1976, civil society has played an important role in the consolidation of the new democratic regime; organized labor and business associations have helped…
