Description
Summary:The Portuguese economy has undergone many significant transformations since the democratic revolution of 1974 and the acession to the EEC in 1986. A deep integration into the EU and an original and unexpected context of Iberian integration are important parts of the new picture. Changes in productive specialization, the emergence of a tertiary public economy, the centrality of external financial relations and the new condition of Portugal as a net investor abroad and as a country of immigration are some of the main processes that are relevant for the analysis of the governance of the Portuguese economy in this period. This analysis involves studying the mechanisms of coordination of collective action. The State, as agent of the “relational order,” the market, as an increasingly narrow site of governance, and the community, as the expression of Portuguese internal specificities, are taken in this text as major institutional arrangements and the bases of economic governance.
