Colonial wars, local trauma? War casualties as determinants of socioeconomic outcomes across Portuguese Municipalities
| Resumo: | This dissertation examines how conflict exposure affected Portuguese citizens at the municipal level, exploring how variation in Colonial War casualty permillage translates into contemporary education, socioeconomic, and health outcomes, and support for anti-systemic parties, with findings indicating persistent negative impacts. This dissertation stems from "The Legacy of War on Socioeconomic Dynamics and Human Behaviour: Evidence from Portuguese Former Combatants", an investigation surveying 2500 Colonial War Veterans, their wives, and peacekeeping participants, assessing wartime experiences, post-war socioeconomic outcomes, and policy preferences. With Europe witnessing large-scale conflict in Ukraine, insights from this investigation can inform and support policies in future post-conflict contexts. |
