- Political neglect and support for the radical rightPublication . Magalhães, Pedro C.; Cancela, João; Departamento de Estudos Políticos (DEPo); Instituto Português de Relações Internacionais (IPRI); Elsevier BVWhy are rural voters more likely to support radical right parties? This paper examines the mechanisms behind the relationship between living in a rural area and supporting the Portuguese radical-right party Chega. Portugal's radical right is an interesting case study, not only because of its belated but very fast electoral growth but also because Portugal represents an unusual case of economic convergence between urban and rural areas in the last decade, challenging one of the traditional explanations for rural populism — economic grievances. Using data from exit polls from the 2022 and 2024 elections, we start by showing that voters living in a rural area are characterized by disproportionally high levels of support for Chega. Then, using a 2023 face-to-face national survey, we use parallel mediation models to test different mechanisms that relate rurality with the vote for the radical right. We find no evidence that cultural and economic factors play a relevant role in the relationship between rurality and the radical right vote in Portugal. Instead, rural residents are more likely to perceive the areas where they live as politically neglected, and it is this perception that feeds, in turn, into support for the radical right. Political neglect emerges as the key mediating factor, shedding light on the dynamics of radical right-wing populism in rural regions.
- Culture WarPublication . Batista, Francisco; Departamento de Estudos Políticos (DEPo); MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteThe endorsement from Christian circles in facilitating the rise of radical right-wing populism in Brazil and the United States, as well as the support and alliance of the Polish Catholic Church with the Law and Justice (PiS) government, are widely acknowledged. Embedded within the intricate fabric of multifaceted factors contributing to the surge of right-wing populism, the Culture War assumes a pivotal yet often underestimated role. Manifesting as a profound confrontation, the Culture War signifies an existential clash between contrasting perspectives concerning socio-cultural values grounded in religious scripture. The research employs a qualitative methodology and a singular case study focused on Portugal, owing to the nation’s enduring relationship with Catholicism. Portugal emerges as indisputably one of the most religious countries in the Western world, akin to Poland. The research question aims to understand the support or relationship from the Portuguese Catholic Church (PCC) and Christian (social) movements to the populist right-wing Chega (lit. ‘Enough!’), slightly departing from their traditional center-right support for PSD and CDS in the Culture War. The results show that the support extended to Chega by the PCC and the Portuguese Episcopal Conference is non-existent in a formal manner. Despite this fact and the lack of formal backing for Chega, some Christian social movements have shown their approval or support for Chega, as the party has some roots in the movement sector, but not as strongly as the Front Nationale. Further research is suggested in order to attain deeper conclusions from both the Portuguese Catholic Church and Christian social movements using other methods for a deeper understanding, such as semi-structured interviews and participant observation of events.
- Human Security of Inuit and Sámi in the 21st CenturyPublication . Rodrigues, Céline; Departamento de Estudos Políticos (DEPo); Cogitatio PressIn a changing territorial and geopolitical moment of the Arctic region, are the Indigenous Peoples Organizations heard at the regional level and are the Arctic states working to keep them safe and secure? To safeguard the human security of Arctic Indigenous peoples, Arctic states (and their governments) have to understand the needs and changes that are affecting their way of life as well as to be able to cooperate between them. In a comparative study of Canada’s and Finland’s Arctic policies—Canada’s Arctic and Northern Policy Framework (2019) and Finland’s Strategy for Arctic Policy (2021)—it is possible to identify the applicability of the human security approach, which is influenced by the truth and reconciliation process between Canada and Inuit and Finland and Sámi. This process is a main factor in having their human rights respected and their human security safeguarded, considering that the relation between the countries of the North and the South of the Arctic countries is a discovery of their diversity (linguistical and cultural) in the 21st century. In my perspective, and for a participative democracy to be applied as mentioned by the green political theory (following the views of scholars like Barry, Eckersley, and Goodin), states and governments need to be open and recognise the gaps identified by those communities and transnational organisations.
- Projeto migramythsPublication . Brasileiro, Fellipe Sá; Nascimento, Geysianne Felipe do; Costa, Ana Paula; Alves, Edvaldo Carvalho; Departamento de Estudos Políticos (DEPo); São Paulo State UniversityEste artigo discute o desenvolvimento de práticas informacionais no contexto do combate à desinformação e discriminação contra a comunidade migrante em Portugal partindo de um abordagem praxiológica das ações infocomunicativos empreendidas por organizações de pessoas migrantes. Adota como método o estudo de caso envolvendo o projeto “Migramyths – Desmistificando a imigração”, desenvolvido em Portugal. O trabalho apresenta quatro categorias de práticas informacionais desenvolvidas e atesta que as estratégias empreendidas pelo projeto orientam, combatem a desinformação, mobilizam socialmente e afetivamente, fazendo frente à problemática na medida em que entrelaça a orientação da informação com a afetividade que organiza os entendimentos práticos dos público alvo. Conclui que as capacidades de resposta e de responsabilidade crítica dos cidadãos diante dos desafios da desinformação no contexto da migração podem ser desenvolvidas a partir de intervenções vinculativas que considerem a inteligibilidade prática e os afetos dos sujeito, interferindo nos entendimentos e regras compartilhadas.
- Europeanisation to the eastern bordersPublication . Tostes, Ana Paula; Renni, Yasmin; Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas (FCSH); Instituto Brasileiro de Relações InternacionaisThe geopolitical condition in Eastern Europe brings about a new dynamic of governance. The neighbourhood matters for the EU, even more so after the 2000’s enlargements. This paper analyses the Europeanisation dynamics in the Republic of Moldova as a case for a critical view of the EU’s modern external governance to the Eastern borders.

- De serviteurs de l´Etat à représentants élus. Les parlementaires originaires du secteur public en EuropePublication . Cotta, Maurizio; Almeida, Pedro Tavares deThis article aims at testing empirically the relevance of the State/civil society dichotomy commonly used by political theorists through the question of the specific weight of MPs having a public sector background in Europe. It uses the DATACUBE data set in order to show that such an opposition is only relative because of the specific weight of the public sector in the parliamentary elite considered in a long-term perspective. The article focuses on the dynamics of this relevance and introduces nuances regarding variations across countries, sub-categories within the public sector and political parties.
