Modernising ambitions: agronomists in action between dictatorship and democracy (Portugal, 1957-1986)
| Resumo: | The Centro de Estudos de Economia Agrária (CEEA) was created in 1957. This scientific research unit, sponsored by the Fundaçao Calouste Gulbenkian (FCG), was active for almost 30 years. It operated during the decades in which major changes occurred in agriculture and rural society in Western Europe and, especially, in Portugal. Since the Centre was active until 1986, its researchers accompanied the major changes of the transition from dictatorship to democracy (after the 1974 Revolution) and the preparation of the Portuguese adhesion to the European Economic Community (1986). During these decades, different factors contributed to maintain agriculture on the core of national and international debates. In this context, this chapter analyses the origins and the main objectives of the CEEA, evaluating its role in the discussions associated with agricultural modernisation. |
