Este livro é um registo do passado e do presente do Regimento de Infantaria Nº14. Mas, dado que este Regimento se encontra sedeado na região da Beira Alta desde 1842, é igualmente um repositório das tradições da Infantaria das Beiras, uma homenagem a todos os Infantes de Viriato que defenderam, combateram e morreram por Portugal, ao longo de séculos, e como continuam, hoje, a levantar bem alto o nome da Beira, de Portugal e do seu Exército, nas sete partidas do Mundo. O historial do Regimento de Infantaria Nº14 regista um longo percurso, partindo de Portugal para os destinos mais longínquos: Espanha, França, Angola, Moçambique, Guiné Bissau, Índia Portuguesa, Bósnia, Timor-Leste, Kosovo, Iraque, Afeganistão e Líbano. Com o seu modo de actuação, adequado às diversas épocas e locais, este Regimento mostrou-se sempre digno de ser um exemplo a seguir na sua lealdade e combatividade. O registo de actos heróicos, que são perpetuados na presente obra, permite percorrer mais de dois séculos de história, homenageando a memória e as tradições de unidades que combateram com elevado destaque durante a Guerra Peninsular, nas Batalhas do Buçaco e de Albuera, entre tantas outras, e que se destacaram de forma notável na Batalha de Vitória; participaram nas campanhas coloniais do fim do século XIX e princípio do século XX; combateram contra a Alemanha em Angola, Moçambique e Flandres, em 1914-1918; prepararam milhares de combatentes e mobilizaram unidades para os teatros da Guiné, Moçambique e Angola, entre 1961 e 1974. É a história de um Regimento “cuja fama ninguém virá que dome”. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/1493 Title: A Small Step for Capability, a Significant Leap for “Military Erasmus”. The European Security and Defence Policy Seminar, Lisbon 2009 Authors: Ferreira da Silva, Pedro; Paile, Sylvain Abstract: The first European Security and Defence Policy Seminar was meant to have a strong impact on the education and strengthening of the European identity of young military Officers from European Union Member States, especially the ones who came from Military Academies. The initiative had its origin in the second half of 2008 under the French Presidency of the Union. The goal established was to achieve a “Military Erasmus”. In the first half of 2009, Portugal offered to host the pilot course, which received a laudable response from the majority of EU Member States and was supported by the High Representative for the ESDP. 2010-03-01T00:00:00Z http://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/1492 Title: Sovereignty in European Context: how the European Union Reinforces National Sovereignty Authors: Ferreira da Silva, Pedro Abstract: This paper aims to give a new perspective on the issue of sovereignty in the European context. In this context, we argue that the EU can contribute to increase Member States sovereignty. Many academic circles have advocated that the EU limits State’s sovereignty. This is why we intend to present a new approach to sovereignty in the European context. In order to present our argument we will discuss and debate the concept of sovereignty, both in the internal and external dimensions, which are associated with the concept of power. Then we will check if European states have the necessary means that enables them to project their power. We’ll also argue that there are real limitations, in current capabilities, and in resources availability needed to develop them in the future. We’ll also present the concept of politics of scale, arguing that we can apply this concept to develop state’s capabilities, which allow the necessary power projection, which enhances state’s sovereignty. This found that pooling and sharing will increase EU member states sovereignty, since it will allow a greater ability to project power, which is essential to support the external dimension of sovereignty. Thus, through a process of sharing and pooling member states will have the ability to defend their interests on a global scale, a level of intervention that will be denied if they choose to pursue individually. We also conclude that the current economic crisis may be used has a catalyst to deepen these mechanisms. 2011-08-01T00:00:00Z http://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/1460 Title: European Security and Defence Policy Seminar, Lisbon 2009 Creating the Future Human Capabilities of the CSDP Authors: Ferreira da Silva, Pedro; Paile, Sylvain Abstract: O artigo foca o impacto que o Erasmus Militar terá na Política Comum de Segurança e Defesa. 2010-07-01T00:00:00Z
