Participants were 68,192 individuals aged 50+ from 27 countries who participat…
When Reforms Becomes Symbolic: Decabinetisation in Portugal and Beyond
Decabinetisation—policies that reduce or restrict ministerial cabinets—presents a paradox in contemporary executive politics. Despite growing reliance on these structures for political coordination and policy steering, governments occasionally move to limit their reliance on these political staff structures, either by reducing staff numbers or by imposing stricter rules on appointments, recruitment, and remuneration. While several such reforms ha…
Looking Into the Prism: A Structural Approach to Teachers’ Perezhivanie / Mirando en el prisma: una aproximación estructural a la perezhivanie de los docentes
The concept of perezhivanie is attracting increasing attention as a key for teachers’ professional development. In most interpretations, perezhivanie involves a sort of psychological “prism” that refracts the influence of the environment on the subject. There is also broad agreement that perezhivanie involves an indivisible unity of personal and situational characteristics. In this regard, a central analytical challenge is to study perezhivanie w…

Which cues matter: The effect of content cues on European Union support
This article experimentally examines how content cues politicising the European Union (EU) influence citizens’ EU attitudes, assessing the pessimist and optimist top-down models of politicisation. The former approach posits that politicisation emphasises criticism of the EU and weakens citizens’ EU support. The latter model asserts that politicisation fosters greater EU support when focusing on the EU's positive aspects. Results align with the pe…

Electric Vehicles: Study of Energy Demand and Impact on Infrastructure Due to the Insertion of Electric Buses in the City of São Paulo
Buses have become essential for passenger transport, both within major cities and between cities. In 2020 March 12,815 buses were responsible for transporting 8.7 million people every day on 1,336 lines throughout the city of São Paulo. Means of transport, however, account for about a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions and the most growth-prospective modal. To this end, technologies such as electric vehicles are presented in order to comply with…

Youth with clipped wings: Bridging the gap from youth recruitment to representation in candidate lists
This article assesses the extent to which party youth wings participate in candidate selection and the factors that explain their (lack of) success, focusing on the interplay of formal and informal mechanisms with institutional rules. The results indicate an iceberg-shaped political recruitment ladder, with a stark compression of youth wing representation in the visible steps of candidates and MPs.

The Inner Functioning of Local Governance Networks in Centralized Countries: A ‘Brave New World’
Local governance networks are increasingly seen as the big idea to cope with issues that are complex enough in scope and scale to require a diversity of expertise and resources. While conventional narrative has posited that local networks are optimal for addressing a range of policy problems, and enhancing democratic participation, scarce attention has been devoted to understanding their inner working. A relevant gap in the literature pertains to…
How teachers’ appraisals predict their emotional experience: Identifying protective and risk structures in natural appraisals
This paper studies the narratives of 73 teachers and analyzes how different narrative structures predict teachers' emotional exhaustion, depersonalization , personal accomplishment, well-being, and resilience. We found that “they know how”-, “they can”-, and “I do”-type narrative structures were protective for emotional exhaustion and well-being, while “they don't want”-, “they can't”-, “they don't do”-, and “I don't do”-type structures were risk…

In the Shadow of the ‘Government of the Left: The 2019 Legislative Elections in Portugal
This article examines the Portuguese 2019 legislative election, which took place after a period of unprecedented and unexpected cooperation of the pro-European centre left and eurosceptic radical left. Initially dismissed as a 'contraption', this alliance belied the initial expectations and increasingly became a reference for South European social democratic parties. Yet, despite a seemingly reinforced popular mandate, it was not maintained after…
Givers and takers: Parties, state resources and civil society in Portugal
This article assesses the relationship between parties and civil society in Portugal between 1999 and 2009, examining the mediating role of parties in patterns of state funding to civil society organizations. We find evidence of a relationship between parties and organized civil society – albeit an instrumental one, largely based on reward-motivated linkages. The analysis of state grants indicates that parties act as brokers between the state and…

Home confinement and mental health problems during the Covid-19 pandemic among the population aged 50 and older: A gender perspective
Home confinement during the Covid-19 pandemic is usually associated with worsening mental health. In the case of older adults, although they have been identified as a vulnerable group in terms of mental health, the results of studies on the relationship between home confinement and mental health are not consistent and few studies have adopted a gender perspective. Using data from the SHARE Corona Survey (2020), we aimed to analyse the role of gen…
A fistful of followers: The Resilience of the Second-Order Campaign Model
EP elections are widely regarded as the archetypal second-order national election. Although parties’ strategic moves are frequently mediated by traditional media, parties are increasingly using alternative communication strategies, as social media, to communicate directly to their electorate. Social media can be particularly relevant in ‘bridging the gap’ with voters in second-order elections. After 2014, EP elections took place in a context wher…
