Este artigo tem como objetivo principal analisar o sentido de voto dos portugueses residentes no estrangeiro durante o período democrático (1976-2011), em eleições legislativas, europeias e presidenciais, assim como o papel do sistema de partidos no estrangeiro na mobilização eleitoral e na explicação do sentido de voto. As duas tendências mais importantes que emergem dizem respeito: em primeiro lugar, ao acent...
Over the last few decades, emigrants all over the world have gained expanded voting rights. Despite the normative debates about this issue, there are few empirical studies on why states decide to implement external voting and how electoral systems perform. This chapter seeks to fill this gap by looking at the Portuguese case. Our study suggests that a combination of political and socio-economic factors explains...
Although emigrants represent an increasing share of the electoral population in many democracies not much is known about their participation in home country elections. Aiming at contributing to fulfil this gap, this article longitudinally and exploratory analyses the contextual factors of Portuguese emigrants’ participation in national elections (1976-2015), a country with one of the highest emigration rates of...
A presença de imigrantes nos mercados de trabalho culturais e artísticos tem merecido a atenção das ciências sociais. No entanto, não existe até ao momento uma análise centrada nos perfis socioprofissionais de artistas provenientes de países terceiros (exteriores à União Europeia) em Portugal. Este artigo apresenta uma análise comparativa de três grupos – artistas de origem portuguesa, intracomunitária e extrac...
Este estudo 58 do Observatório das Migrações, também desenvolvido com cofinanciamentodo FEINPT no âmbito do convite de 2014 do Alto Comissariado para as Migrações (ACM) àsequipas de investigação nacionais para apresentarem propostas de estudos acerca de nacionaisde países terceiros em Portugal e que concorressem para a execução dos objetivos dofundo comunitário, retrata um tema fundamental que está subjacente à...
Over recent decades, emigrants have gained expanded voting rights on a global scale. Despite the normative debates about this issue, there are few empirical studies on why states decide to implement external voting and how electoral systems perform. This article seeks to fill this gap by looking at the Portuguese case. Our study suggests that a combination of political and socio-economic factors explains the im...
The dissolution of the indenyl (Ind) complex [{(η5‐Ind)Mo(CO)2(μ‐Cl)}2] (1) in N,N′‐dimethylformamide (DMF) gives the ring‐slipped complex [(η3‐Ind)Mo(CO)2Cl(DMF)2] (2). The aerial oxidation of 2 leads to the formation of the dinuclear oxomolybdenum(V) chloride [Mo2O2(DMF)4(μ‐O)2Cl2] (3). The structures of 2 and 3·DMF have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Compounds 1 and 3 were examined as p...
Research on social mobility typically acknowledges the relevance of gender. However, gender-based differences still lack extensive description and explanation. This article starts by reviewing a number of influential contributions on social mobility, educational systems and employment change, as well as important critiques raised in feminist scholarship with regard to these topics of enquiry. We argue that clas...
The complex [{(Z5-Ind)Mo(CO)2(m-Cl)}2] (1) has been tested for the industrially relevant catalytic isomerisation of a-pinene oxide (PinOx) to campholenic aldehyde (CPA) in the liquid phase. PinOx conversion and CPA selectivity are strongly influenced by the solvent employed. Complete conversion of PinOx was achieved within 1 min at 55 1C or 30 min at 35 1C using 1,2-dichloroethane as solvent, giving CPA in 68% ...
