Editor: Paul Almeida
Resumo: At the end of the 2010s, a new wave of climate activism emerged around the world, with the transnational spread of groups such as Fridays For Future, the Sunrise Movement, the Green New Deal Coalition, and Extinction Rebellion (XR). Due to their action, discourse, capacity to transnationalize, and alliance with other groups, XR has become one of the most important environmental movements of the 21st century. Created in the United Kingdom in 2018, it rapidly transnationalized with the help of massive, impactful demonstrations in the United Kingdom that gave visibility to their action and principles. In this chapter, we provide an overview of XR’s emergence, renationalization, evolution over time, and core characteristics, including its repertoires of action, practices, discourses, and social composition. Overall, we present the movement as being characterized by overarching tensions in its organizational framework and conception of politics, involving a complex amalgamation of horizontal democratic and centralizing vanguardist tendencies.2025-01-01T00:00:00ZInside Chega's membershipCarvalho, J.Santana Pereira, J.Marchi, R.http://hdl.handle.net/10071/370272026-04-27T10:38:30Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTítulo próprio: Inside Chega's membership

Resumo: This chapter examines the characteristics of Chega’s party members in the early 2020s through the analysis of a large N survey to help overcome the lack of overall knowledge on far-right activists. The internal composition of the PRRP shapes their internal development, as well as their electoral success at the polls. Drawing on past literature, this chapter will trace the distribution of Chega’s membership according to three main groups: the extremists, the opportunists, and the moderates. Secondly, this investigation seeks to explore the causal factors that influence the internal composition of Chega’s membership. The conclusions will suggest that Chega’s membership is mainly formed by moderates, followed by opportunists, whilst overt ideological extremism is confined to the fringes of the party’s membership. Male and younger party members are more likely to display an extremist profile than female and older members. Chega’s internal composition reflects its roots in deeply conservative circles and the lack of imposition of a cordon sanitaire by the mainstream parties, particularly the PSD2025-01-01T00:00:00ZPortugal: Structural weaknesses of nursing homes network exposed by the pandemicCapucha, L.Calado, A.Nunes, N.http://hdl.handle.net/10071/370042026-04-23T08:27:31Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTítulo próprio: Portugal: Structural weaknesses of nursing homes network exposed by the pandemic

Resumo: This chapter is about the COVID-19 pandemic in long term care residences (LTCR) in Portugal from 2 March 2020, to 15 July 2020. It was a dramatic period in which Portuguese society faced a threat unprecedented in the memory of people and institutions, about which little or nothing was known.
One of the most disconcerting facts that occurred was how the pandemic spread to the elderly and, in particular, those who were institutionalised in LTCR. However, this being the focus, we will only deviate from the topic and the fixed period when there is a need to frame them, namely regarding the pandemic's evolution and the LTCR network's evolution.
Although the period under analysis in this chapter is the four and a half months between 2 March 2020, when the first case of infection was detected, and 15 July 2020, when the first cycle of the pandemic ended, it is worth looking at its evolution from a broader perspective. This perspective reveals a much higher incidence of the disease after autumn 2020 than until then, as shown in Figure 13.1. The daily new cases recorded by the Directorate-General for Health were 53 per day at the beginning of March 2020, increasing to around 350 per day by July of the same year and coming close to 750 cases per day in early October 2020.
At that time, a wave of large proportions emerged, reaching a peak of almost 7,000 cases per day in mid-November and 15,000 per day in late January 2021. There are two crucial phenomena to register: first, the relationship between policies, population behaviour, and how people perceive the evolution of SARS-COV2 infections.2025-01-01T00:00:00ZLa migration portugaise en Suisse: Entre changements et continuitésAzevedo, L.http://hdl.handle.net/10071/368972026-04-15T10:56:55Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTítulo próprio: La migration portugaise en Suisse: Entre changements et continuités

Resumo: En 1980, les personnes immigrées en provenance du Portugal ne représentaient
que 1,2 %1 de la population étrangère permanente en Suisse. En 1996, elles
constituaient déjà 10 %, devenant ainsi la troisième collectivité étrangère (après
la collectivité italienne et celle de l’ex-Yougoslavie), résultat du « caractère
exceptionnellement bref et intense » de cette migration (Piguet 2005 : 93).
Représentant aujourd’hui plus de 11 % des étranger·ères, les Portugais·es sont
toujours la troisième collectivité par ordre d’importance (après les Italien·nes
et les Allemand·es), et même la première en Suisse romande et dans les Grisons.
Cette situation dénote l’importance des réseaux dans l’établissement
de cette population en Suisse. En bref, la Suisse est devenue, en un temps
relativement court, une destination traditionnelle pour les Portugais·es en
quête de meilleures conditions de travail et de vie hors de leur pays d’origine.
Ce chapitre met en évidence les continuités et discontinuités qui s’opèrent
dans la migration portugaise en Suisse depuis le début de ce siècle. D’une
part, les flux migratoires vers la Suisse s’amplifient fortement dès l’entrée en
vigueur de l’accord sur la libre circulation des personnes (ALCP) en 2002 ; ils
se situent même à des niveaux équivalents à ceux de la fin des années 1980,
ceci avant même la crise financière de 2008. D’autre part, ces flux deviennent
plus hétérogènes en termes de caractéristiques socio-économiques de la population
immigrée. Cependant, malgré l’arrivée d’un nombre croissant de jeunes
diplômé·es, le marché du travail helvétique continue d’attirer principalement
une main-d’oeuvre portugaise pour des postes peu qualifiés.2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
