Edited by Professor João de Almeida Santos, Director of CIPES, the work is the result of a conference under the same theme, held on 16.10.2018, at the Lusophone University of Humanities and Technologies. Every panelist (Pierre Musso, Institute for Advanced Studies in Nantes, Michele Sorice and Emiliana De Blasio, University of Luiss, José Manuel Sánchez Duarte, King Juan Carlos University, and João de Almeida Santos, Lusófona University) were invited to write a chapter for the book, which was later added by two more texts: one by Manuel Anselmi (“Italian multipopulism”) and another by João de Almeida Santos (“Connectivity – a key to future politics”).
Hosted by CIPES, the International Conference “Issues of Security in the European Union and in the United States (the case of New York)” was held on October 2nd at the Armando Guebuza Auditorium at Lusófona University, in Lisbon.
CIPES Research Center had meetings with the first secretary of CIMAC (Comunidade Intermunicipal do Alentejo Central), André Espenica, and the Preseident of the Intermunicpal Counsil from Comunidade Intermunicipal das Beiras e Serra da Estrela (CIMBSE), Carlos Filipe Camelo Miranda de Figueiredo, on the 10th and 13th of September, respectively. The aim of those meetings was to present CIPES research Program on Development Strategies for Low-Density Territories. They were both very productive meetings offering green light for the implementation of CIPES’s research program in both regions. This partnership will be later formalized with a Cooperation Agreement.
