A cooperação para o desenvolvimento na vida da mulher Moçambicana em meios rurais: estudo de mudanças no contexto da educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável
No full textEsta investigação ancora-se na ligação da Cooperação para o Desenvolvimento à
condição de vida da mulher rural a partir da identificação das mudanças que se verificam
na sua vida após experiências educativas promovidas pelos doadores. A mulher rural vive
por longos períodos de tempo os efeitos das crises e dos conflitos e vive num meio cujas
características, sociais e culturais, condicionam o exercício completo dos seus direitos.
O trabalho constrói-se a partir de um estudo de caso que contempla o contacto direto com
atores da Cooperação Sueca e com a mulher rural examinando a perceção que ela tem da
intervenção dos parceiros de Cooperação assim como as mudanças reais com impato na
sua vida. O estudo empírico recorre à entrevista semiestruturada e privilegia, numa fase
posterior, a técnica do grupo de discussão que bem se insere na investigação qualitativa
e proporciona a produção de discursos da mulher rural favorecendo a representação
dinâmica da realidade.
Os resultados constroem-se no período 2015 a 2020 a partir de duas categorias, a atuação
da Cooperação para o Desenvolvimento em Moçambique e as Mudanças que Educação
para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável proporcionou na vida da mulher rural dos distritos
de Buzi e de Zavala, províncias de Sofala e de Inhambane, respetivamente. A análise aos
dados direciona-nos para as limitações e para uma narrativa de atuação da Cooperação
para o Desenvolvimento que precisa ser reformulada, renovada na sua complexidade e no
seu impato no espaço e vida rural em Moçambique.This research is centered in the connection between Cooperation for Development and
the living conditions of rural women by identifying the changes that take place in their
lives after educational experiences promoted by donors. Rural women live for long
periods of time under the effects of crises and conflicts and live in an environment whose
social and cultural characteristics affect the full exercise of their rights.
The work is based on a case study that includes direct contact with Swedish Cooperation
actors and with rural women, examining their perception of the cooperation partners'
intervention as well as the real changes affecting their lives. The empirical study uses
semi-structured interviews and favors, in a later phase, the focus group technique, which
is well suited to qualitative research and provides for the production of rural women's
discourses, favoring the dynamic representation of reality.
The results are structured between 2015 and 2020 on two categories, the performance of
Cooperation for Development in Mozambique and the changes that Education for
Sustainable Development has provided in the lives of rural women in the districts of Buzi
and Zavala, provinces of Sofala and Inhambane, respectively. The data analysis directs
us to the limitations and to a narrative of the actions of Development Cooperation that
needs to be renewed in its complexity and its impact on rural space and life in
Mozambique
Socioenvironmental contexts of artisanal fishing
No full textObra editada por: Maria Rosário Bastos, Olegário Pereira, Sérgio Lira, João ViegasThis book offers a critically informed and concise contribution to the general theme of artisanal maritime fishing in a wide-ranging chronology (from the Middle Ages to the present). It includes contributions from various disciplinary areas (History, Museology, Biology, Geography and Geology) and case studies from diverse countries. The set of analyses that make it up is the result of a main objective: the dissemination of the activity material/immaterial heritage and preservation of its collective memory in a context of international collaboration. It covers key issues that discussed fisheries and fishing communities in an integrative perspective linking past, present and future socioenvironmental challenges
Multiple perspectives of spiritual intelligence: a systematic literature review
No full textThis paper aims to understand the influence of sociocultural perspectives on the perception and conceptualization of spiritual intelligence (SI). To do so, a systematic literature review was carried out, and 64 journal articles and reviews form the sample for data analysis. Four different perspectives (Western, Eastern, Islamic, and Hindu) were identified. In the Western perspective, an egocentric and utilitarian approach to the construct prevails. In the Islamic perspective, religion is understood as the only possible expression of SI. In the Eastern perspective, the point of view of the common good and the connection with nature prevails. In the Hindu perspective, however, knowledge is the key to expanding spiritual awareness. The results indicate that the authors’ perspective interferes in the understanding of the conceptualization of SI and its dimensions, and in the interpretation of the research results. Finally, a framework for analyzing SI research is proposed.This work was financially supported by the Research Unit on Governance, Competitiveness and Public Policies (UIDB/04058/2020) + (UIDP/04058/2020), funded by national funds through FCT -

Alliance orientation and firm financial performance: industry-specific and crisis effects. Implications for coopetition dynamics
No full textPurpose – This study examines how firms’ alliance orientation impacts firm financial performance, varying across manufacturing and retail service industries and during the COVID-19 Crisis. Coopetition
requires simultaneous competition and cooperation, sometimes competition-based coopetition, other times cooperation-based coopetition. In this study, alliance orientation was used as the
observable construct, enabling us to interpret its implications within the broader literature on coopetition dynamics.
Design/methodology/approach – We used a sample of 330 portuguese and Spanish firms across different industries and employed an Ordinary Least Squares model. The study spans 2013–2022, encompassing pre-COVID-19 and during COVID-19 pandemic periods.
Findings – Results show that alliance orientation positively influences financial performance in the retail services industry, particularly during COVID-19, where alliances mitigated the negative effects of firm age, sales growth opportunities and asset tangibility. No significant effect was observed in manufacturing firms, highlighting industry-specific dynamics.
Originality/value – The study offers threefold novelties. First, it assesses the impact of strategic alliance engagement on financial performance through an econometric model that considers the effect of strategic alliances on return on assets and includes control variables to express organizational complexity. Second, it highlights that the benefits of alliance strategies, which can enable coopetition dynamics, vary across industries.
Third, it provides evidence that alliance orientation can be a strategic risk and crisis management mechanism, particularly during disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Rethinking the geopolitical shifts and security in the New Millennium
No full textThis editorial introduces the Special Issue "Geopolitics and International Security in the 21st Century" and frames it against the erosion of the post–Cold War assumptions that once sustained optimism about global governance. It argues that two pillars of the 1990s (the expectation that democratisation would reduce conflict and the belief that deepening economic interdependence would pacify international relations) have been increasingly undermined by renewed geopolitical rivalry, an accelerating wave of autocratisation, and the strategic instrumentalisation of rules and institutions. The editorial further highlights how selective moral and political prioritisation of human life and dignity across contemporary crises has intensified pressures on international normative systems, weakened legitimacy, and contributed to patterns of diplomatic non-alignment, consequently amplifying global fragmentation. Against this background, the Special Issue’s contributions collectively address an overarching question: how can law and institutions remain credible and effective in a security environment shaped by resource competition, technological militarisation, disinformation, populist foreign policy, contested borders, and renewed debates on accountability for aggression and wartime harms? The editorial closes by stressing the need to restore principled coherence, human security, and trust in multilateral cooperation as prerequisites for confronting the systemic risks that threaten global stability and planetary survival
When algorithms decide the climate: AI, disinformation, and the crisis of environmental truth in the Anthropocene
No full textWe often describe the Anthropocene as a planetary emergency. Yet beneath the ecological upheaval lies a deeper and more destabilising fracture: the erosion of environmental truth [1]. By environmental truth, I refer to the collectively negotiated understanding of climate and ecological realities, shaped by scientific, social, and technological processes. Climate knowledge today is reported, debated, and contested, but increasingly it is computed [2]. Algorithmic infrastructures now decide what becomes visible, credible, and politically actionable. My argument here is direct: AI systems and digital platforms have become co-producers of environmental truth, and this reconfigures the very conditions under which climate policy, public debate, and democratic decision-making occur. The Anthropocene is as much a crisis of meaning as it is of ecology.Funding: The author acknowledges the support of FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, I.P., within the framework of Project UID/04004/2025 – Centre for Functional Ecology – Science for the People
