The Portuguese successful superation of the current crisis depends on its decisions but also on the financial stabilization of the euro area and how the European Union continues to address it. The economic, political, and institutional roots of this crisis can be found nor only within the most affected countries but also in the construct and in the political management of the euro area as a whole. Despite the Portuguese structural problems and imbalances the contagion effects are obvious from the crisis timeline. Stopping contagion and preserving the stability of the whole area is the Union's most pressing objective. Adapted from the source document.

The linkage between the Portuguese economy & the 2007 international crisis -- which has been named as Great Depression -- is not clear. The major problem of the Portuguese economy is not born in recent years, since the beginning of the 21st century that we assist to the lower development rates, which has contributing to deepener the gap with the developed countries.

Reached at the Euromediterranean high level summit held in Barcelona in November 2005, marking the tenth anniversary of the EMP, the main EU initiative structuring relations with the Maghreb & Mashreq in the Mediterranean has been widely viewed as a failure. Tensions between partners were apparent, & only modest success was achieved on a limited number of issues. This article considers the implications of the summit for democracy promotion in the southern Mediterranean. It argues that recent developments in the Arab world have fundamentally altered the context within which the EMP was created. Second, it is argued that while policy has been marked by "securitised" approaches in the wake of 9/11, the summit also took place amidst increased efforts to promote democracy. Finally, in the light of such developments, the article suggests that EU approaches to democracy promotion may prove to be more resilient than expected. Adapted from the source document.

The development of an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice within the European Union requires a comprehensive strategy that covers not only its internal aspects, but also an external dimension, allowing the EU to deal with threats, at its source, and through strategic partnerships with third countries. In the first part of this article, we briefly analyze how the JHA external dimension has been developed and established itself as a determining policy on the European agenda. In the second part, we demonstrate this external dimension in greater detail through the European migration policy, and how it is possible to obtain within this external action benefits for all stakeholders.

In the current article a brief commentary is made on the European political situation, in the aftermath of the profound crisis in which the Union is immersed ever since the arrival of the hurricane Euro. In the face of the complexity of the theme, the article is focused on two subjects marking the European agenda: on the one hand, the gradual rising of a different narrative about the Euro crisis vis-a-vis that which has prevailed in Germany's speech, as well as that of the main EU countries and the supranational institutions; on the other hand, the difficulties that may stand in the way of European politics at the institutional level, should the Eurozone countries -- or a hard nucleus of member-states -- decide to go ahead with a solution involving the furtherance of the integration process.

The Western Balkans countries are an inseparable part of the ongoing formation of a "new" European space. Its integration into European structures, particularly the European Union, has proved to be a difficult process due to the problematic political, economic & social situation of these countries. As shown in the case of EU-candidate FYROM, it is possible to argue that EU membership aspiration has been a key factor for the systemic & structural transformation required for the stabilization & gradual democratization of the country. Understanding Europeanization as the conceptual framework that links transition & integration, it is possible to analyze to what extent the EU efforts & initiatives in the Western Balkans have been contributing to the area's pacification & to fostering good governance in the region. This could contribute to a better understanding of the Europeanization process in Macedonia, addressing its results & effects in the democratization process & in the improvement of human rights standards. Appendixes. Adapted from the source document.
