Transferência de competências educativas em Portugal: Novas Funções De Velhos Agentes
Concretizada a obrigatoriedade da transferência de competências educativas para os municípios, importa analisar se há diferenças entre os que aceitaram integrar os projetos piloto implementados desde há vários anos, ganhando assim experiência, e os que recusaram esse processo até ele se tornar obrigatório em 2019. Será que essa experiência ajuda a compreender os diferentes posicionamentos dos intervenientes locais? Para responder a esta questão m…

A partir de uma abordagem teórica fundamentada nos estudos da resiliência, este artigo apresenta uma análise comparativa da reconfiguração das relações laborais durante a crise financeira em Portugal, na Polónia e na Irlanda. É proposta uma conceptualização crítica de resiliência social, capaz de apreender tanto a organização do sistema que emerge no pós-crise como as relações dinâmicas de poder subjacentes, o sistema de regras e os arranjos inst…

Education and austerity in the European Union from an autism perspective: Policy mapping in Ireland, Portugal, Italy, and Greece
This study explores how autism and education policy are affected by austerity measures in Ireland, Portugal, Italy, and Greece by using a path dependence analysis. The implementation of mixed mainstream classrooms and improvements to infrastructure coincided with the ratification of inclusive education policy. Austerity measures appeared temporally associated with furthering of integration and inclusion policy for all countries under study, poten…
Upgrading a Learning Context: Evaluation of Sintra’s Educational Project
The changes observed in the school context demand new practices and impose new challenges to the operational assistants that, due to their relevant role in the educational environment, must be prepared and endowed with knowledge and skills to conduct their profession in a fully useful way. This is only possible through the promotion of their training and capacitation in a real work context. Through the European project entitled “Innovative Plans …
Student-Centered and ICT-Enabled Learning Models in Veterinarian Programs: What Changed with Covid-19
COVID-19 highlighted higher education’s resistance to implementing the student-centered and ICT (information and communication technology)-enabled learning practices as incentivized by the Bologna Declaration. ICTs were crucial to keep the students in educational programs during the outbreak; however, some students were left out, increasing socioeconomic differences, and many teachers needed the training to provide online lectures effectively. De…
Sociology of Education and Construction of Educational Policies: From the Theory to the Practice
The growing complexity in public policy development has resulted in a significant increase in the involvement of experts, many of them scientists. This involvement is expressed in a variety of ways, whether through requests for preliminary studies, planning processes or evaluations of the implementation and impact of policy measures. The development of the relationship between the scientific and political fields challenges the role of scientists …
Structural Foundations of Social Resilience
This article aims to contribute to the theoretical development of the social resilience approach. Recognising the interface between resilience and poverty studies, it proposes a distinct role for resilience research from a critical perspective to understand the dynamics of hardship in exceptional times, such as times of socio-economic crises, rather than explaining the long-term trajectories of poverty. It then provides a conceptual framework on …
Tauromaquia, violência e desenvolvimento: Opiniões E Evidências
A respeito da tauromaquia tem vindo a ser difundida a ideia de que a participação ou assistência de crianças a espetáculos tauromáquicos (considerados uma prática anacrónica, uma reminiscência do passado indigna das sociedades modernas) prejudica o seu desenvolvimento psicológico e incentiva comportamentos violentos. Alguns organismos internacionais emitiram opiniões no mesmo sentido. O presente artigo pretende, de forma modesta e sem polemizar e…
Pobreza E Emprego: As Paralelas Não Convergem
A pobreza e o emprego são duas realidades relacionadas e com afetações mútuas. Geralmente, quando o emprego apresenta bons indicadores, apontando para segmentos de mercado destinados aos grupos mais desfavorecidos, a pobreza tende a diminuir. Pelo contrário, e apesar desta relação não ser automática e direta, quando sobe o desemprego e os mercados tornam-se mais seletivos e excludentes, a pobreza regista um agravamento acentuado. A pobreza é um f…
Welfare State Development in Portugal: From “Stage Zero” to the Post-Crisis “Leftist” Compromise against Austerity
The break with austerity policies in Portugal, carried out after 2015 by a Socialist government supported in parliament by parties on its left, famously named the 'contraption', has gained widespread attention throughout Europe and beyond. This is primarily because the 'reversal' of austerity has been successful, restoring social rights and living standards while maintaining the state's financial equilibrium. The emergence of this innovative poli…
Resiliência: De Uma Noção "Heróica" a Um Conceito Sociológico
This paper presents a specific sociological theoretical framework to the concept of resilience. To do so, we reviewed the main theoretical developments on resilience, focusing our attention on the development of a “heroic” perspective of resilience. We point out its several pitfalls, and counter it with a concept of resilience grounded on sociological theory and poverty studies, presenting a definition for resilience, the conditions and character…
Coordenadas GPS: Um Instrumento De Avaliação
This paper introduces a proposal of an instrument for the evaluation of local social development projects, based on the perspectives of the theory-driven evaluations, named Coordenadas GPS. The model uses a qualitative and quantitative approach in which both individual's perceptions and the analysis of several variables and indicators are crucial. Assessments are particularly relevant in social intervention to understand what happens and why. Thi…
Crisis and Education in Southern Europe: The Effects of Austerity and Ideology
Since the mid-1970s, the countries of Southern Europe have been approaching European education patterns. This result can be observed in the positive dynamics and convergence with the rest of Europe. However, despite these visible results, the convergence was more evident up until the outbreak of the crisis, where the overall economic and political conditions also brought changes in policymaking in education to the Southern European countries, bot…
The Role of Stereotyping in Public Policy Legitimation: The Case of the pigs Label
This article aims at deconstructing the 'pigs' label, bestowed by the media on four southern European countries - Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece - in the wake of the ongoing Eurozone debt crisis. The article will demonstrate that the 'pigs' label has no correspondence to reality by discussing the evolution of several European countries on the fields of economy, education, social policies and health. The 'pigs' label should be viewed instead as…

Portugal—a virtuous path towards minimum income?
Mending Nets in the South: Anti‐poverty Policies in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain
The marginal role of social assistance and the absence of minimum income programmes have long been thought to constitute defining characteristics of the southern European model of welfare. Nevertheless, over the 1990s significant innovations in this field have taken place. The paper aims to contribute to the analysis of recent developments by critically examining the experience of anti‐poverty policies in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain. It is …
Existe una "malla de seguridad" en la Europa del sur? La lucha contra la pobreza y la exclusión en España, Grecia, Italia y Portugal
El papel marginal de la asistencia social y la ausencia de programas de rentas mínimas han sido considerados como rasgos definitorios del modelo de bienestar de la Europa del Sur. Sin embargo, a lo largo de la década de los años 90 se han producido innovaciones significativas en este campo. El artículo lleva a cabo un análisis de los últimos desarrollos realizando un examen crítico de las experiencias de políticas contra la pobreza en España, Gre…
Le visible et l'invisible: Modes de vie de la pauvreté au Portugal
Ageing and social policies in times of crisis
The ageing of the populations at the top of the age structure is a result of the relationship between social policies and longevity, and is posing new challenges to the sustainability of health and pension systems. The response to these challenges has been taking the shape of austerity policies that are not sparing the elderly. This backwards step in the quality of social policies has been degrading people’s living conditions and harming their ri…
