Summary
"In 2010, 25 years will have elapsed since Portugal signed the Accession Treaty which allowed it to become a full-fledged member of the then European Community. The volume elicits how Portugal has grasped opportunities and challenges emanating from its participation in the institutional, regulatory and political frameworks of the European Union (EU) as these became more intricate as well as intrusive. It scrutinizes the adjustments and transformations that took place in the Portuguese society, politics and economics as well as in the country's international relations as engendered by its increasing enmeshment in the Community-building dynamics. Divided into three main parts: Part I focuses on the major changes within the domestic arena, notably on the political economical and social fronts. Part II addresses the adjustments that the Portuguese leadership had to introduce in order to participate in key common policies and strategies.Part III is centred on foreign policy and assesses and discusses the impact upon Portugal's international relations. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of European politics, EU studies, comparative politics and those with a strong interest in Portugal"--, Provided by publisher
