- Portugal na Monarquia Dual : O Tempo dos Filipes (1580-1640)Publication . Lousada, AbílioO 1º de Dezembro de 1640 consubstanciou um Golpe de Estado perpetrado por um conjunto de fidalgos portugueses que, «legitimados» pela anuência do 8º Duque de Bragança, negou a «suserania» de Castela ao Conjunto Português. Mas, a Restauração de Portugal não se restringiu a esse «momento forte»: é necessário recuar a 1581, ano em que Filipe II proclamou a Monarquia Dual, para compreender a sua génese; a Aclamação de Dom João IV e a sustentação dos seus sucessores no Trono decorreu até 1670, quando a Monarquia Hispânica, primeiro, e a Santa Sé, depois, reconheceram de jure a Dinastia de Bragança. Para a compreensão da viabilização do 1º de Dezembro partimos de uma questão central: “Que factores permitiram a negação da Monarquia Dual?”, procurando percepcionar as causas, as motivações e os factores que permitiram que uma pequena potência fosse capaz de recuperar a soberania continental por oposição de uma das grandes potências da época, a Monarquia Hispânica. Para o feito, utilizamos uma metodologia assente numa abordagem multidisciplinar, que implica a História, a Geopolítica e a Estratégia. Dessa forma, percebemos que os fundamentos históricos e o «nacionalismo» impuseram a restituição da Coroa aos herdeiros da Fundação; que os Restauradores viabilizaram a Nova Ordem Interna mediante a compreensão da conjuntura Geopolítica da Europa e das vantagens funcionais do seu espaço territorial, utilizados em prol do desenvolvimento de uma Estratégia capaz de materializar os seus desígnios, ou seja, garantir a independência territorial do País e a dignidade soberana da Nova Dinastia. ABSTRACT On December 1st, 1640, a group of Portuguese noblemen, feeling legitematized by the acquiescence of the 8th Duke of Bragança, put an end to the “suzerainty” of Castilla upon the Portuguese Ensemble. However, the Restoration of Portugal did not confine itself to this “strong” moment. In order to understand its genesis one must regress to 1581, when Philip II proclaimed the Dual Monarchy; the Acclamation of João IV and the consodidation of his heirs to the throne lasted until 1670, when the Spanish Monarchy, first, and later the Holy See recognized de jure the Dinasty of Bragança. This study is essentialy based upon a central, framework question, “What factors allowed the denial of the Dual Monarchy?” We propose to establish the reasons why such a minor power was able, not only to recover its mainland sovereignty against the opposition of one of the greatest powers of that time – the Spanish Monarchy. For this porpose wue have followed a multidiciplinary methodology based upon History, Geopolitics and Strategy. Thus we perceive that historical grounds and nationalism led to the restitution of the Crown to the lawful heirs of the nation’s Foundation; that the Restorers made the New Internal Order possible by fully understanding European geo-policies and the operational advantages of their own territory, having used this knowledge to develop a strategy that would assure the country’s territorial Independence and the sovereign dignity of the New Dinasty.

- A Small Step for Capability, a Significant Leap for “Military Erasmus”. The European Security and Defence Policy Seminar, Lisbon 2009Publication . Silva, Pedro Ferreira da; Paile, SylvainThe 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.
- Sovereignty in European Context: how the European Union Reinforces National SovereigntyPublication . Silva, Pedro Ferreira daThis 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.
