O desenvolvimento do sector da consultoria e a difusão da organização científica do trabalho em Portugal: uma relação próxima?
No full textVários factores se conjugam na tentativa de explicação do desenvolvimento e difusão de princípios e métodos de organização científica do trabalho nas várias realidades nacionais. Cruzando temáticas paralelas que se cruzam e articulam, propomos um olhar sobre o impacto do desenvolvimento do sector da consultoria nos Estados Unidos da América e na Europa Ocidental como um outro factor a ter em conta na compreensão da evolução da organização científica do trabalho no pós Segunda Guerra português.
A tese essencial que propomos baseia-se no facto da difusão da organização científica do trabalho em alguns países europeus, entre os quais Portugal, estar relacionada com o desenvolvimento do sector da consultoria em organização que, no seu processo de crescimento, procurava novos mercados e clientes. De facto, sendo este um negócio que ganhou maior visibilidade com o desenvolvimento da organização científica do trabalho, acaba por ser um dos elementos responsáveis pela sua expansão internacional, numa relação de cumplicidade que também em Portugal se torna visível.
Metodologicamente, começaremos por identificar as origens das firmas de consultoria em organização, a sua transferência dos Estado Unidos da América para a Europa e a sua expansão no velho continente, finalizando com uma análise mais aprofundada sobre o caso português, notando o papel que estas firmas tiveram no processo de difusão e desenvolvimento da organização científica do trabalho no País

No full textA Failure of Intelligence: Gómez Suárez de Figueroa and the Fieschi Conspiracy, 1547
No full textThis essay analyzes the dynamics and limitations of Spanish diplomacy and espionage during the Fieschi conspiracy in Genoa in 1547, by focusing on the role played by the Spanish resident ambassador, Gómez Suárez de Figueroa (d. 1569). Figueroa received warnings from the Spanish intelligence network about a potential coup attempt well ahead of the event, but he discounted them; the actual event caught him by surprise, and it was only luck that saved him and Charles V from a diplomatic and strategic disaster. Despite this monumental blunder, however, Charles maintained Figueroa at his post, and valued his advice about how to handle Genoese politics. Charles secretly proposed seizing power in Genoa, but Figueroa argued against it. The fact that Charles accepted Figueroa’s advice says much about his personal style of rule, and his reliance on his officials in Italy who had knowledge of local conditions
Anarchist Sociability in Spain. In times of Violence and Clandestinity
No full textOne of the more interesting historiographical debates in Spain deals with the important presence in the country of the anarchist movement. Early in the past century, anarchist organizations in other western countries began to decline and disappear while in Spain their presence increased until it became one of the main mass movements. This article analyzes the importance of violence and repression during the early stages of anarchism in Spain, as well as the significance and the relevance that the spaces of sociability had in its consolidation and expansion. These spaces gave the group consistency and succeeded in establishing a culture removed from the conventional social norms of the times

No full textThe Democratic Revolution as a Path towards the Republic (Spain, 1873)
No full textThis article analyses the genesis of the Spanish I Republic (1873) starting from the Democratic Revolution initiated in 1868 with the overthrow of the Bourbon monarchy. This initiated a process of democratisation and of citizens’ participation in Spanish public life that took form in a new constitution, inspired by some of the proposals of the United States Constitution as a model of federation, and in which we find one of the most advanced declarations of citizens’ rights in Europe at that time
