The purpose of this study is to investigate and discuss the challenges namely, the barriers and solutions to developing return supply chain policies in automotive industry. This industry has been suffering governmental pressure to achieve sustainability in all industrial processes. The solution is to reorganize the supply chain and rethink the product from the beginning (closed-loop supply chain evolving to cradle-to-cradle supply chain); however, the literature about this process is scarce. This paper presents exploratory research into the automotive supply chain in order to study the processes developed to achieve more sustainable supply chains. A strategic business net is used as theoretical sample to collect data. The results show that climate change concerns and governmental guidelines lead to sustainable organizational culture. It was found that sustainability is integrated in all processes, which affects business interaction with partners. The business interaction is difficulted by total product recycling. To overcome this barrier, innovation strategies, strategic alliances and governmental politics are presented as enhancers to return supply chain policies development. Organizational and cultural elements were presented as difficulties, but could be easily mitigated with the enhancers, alongside commitment and proactivity of companies. The research shows that when the challenges are overcome, the companies can integrate cradle-to-cradle design frameworks into their supply chains. This reorganization is necessary to achieve sustainability and accomplish governmental guidelines.

A formação do território metropolitano de Lisboa assentou numa complexa articulação entre o suporte fisiográfico e hidrográfico e o traçado de diversas redes infraestruturais, nomeadamente rodoviárias e ferroviárias, aterros e espaços portuários, limites e estruturas militares. Dessa articulação resultaram espaços de interface com tecidos urbanos de diversa natureza. A sua reconstituição e interpretação cartográfica permite descodificar as lógicas subjacentes aos processos de territorialização que, frequentemente, coexistem e se sobrepõem, resultantes também de alterações de uso e de racionalidade programática. Numa perspetiva diacrónica, revelam-se os traços da sua transformação: adições, justaposições, mas também persistências, subtrações e demolições. Alguns resultam fragmentados e desagregados, restos de estruturas que se perderam no esteio de mudanças tecnológicas e funcionais, descontinuados no espaço e no tempo. Espaços vacantes na atualidade, constituem áreas de oportunidade para intervenções tópicas, temporárias e imprevistas em lógicas de maior formalidade. Neste sentido, o artigo propõe uma leitura dos processos de infraestruturação do território metropolitano de Lisboa, sublinhando aqueles que contribuem para a estruturação de dois sistemas territoriais específicos: a formação de solo portuário e industrial (Lisboa e Barreiro) e a circunscrição militar e definição de arcos de circulação e transporte (Cintura Alcântara-Xabregas e Circunvalação Algés-Sacavém).

AbstractIn today's global economy, small developing countries like Cape Verde have very few options to spur growth and sustain long term socioeconomic development. Small size, poor resource endowment, declining foreign aid, and decreasing opportunities in the world economy have sharply reduced their options for growth and competitiveness. In response, Cape Verde and other small states have been placing increasing focus on migration as a development resource. For a country with a centuries long history of migration and a diaspora estimated to be twice the size of the resident population, harnessing the diaspora is a viable option for Cape Verde. But under what conditions is such an option effective? This article analyses the evolution of the diaspora's economic role, and assesses the conditions that enable or obstruct the diaspora's role as a development resource.

A Conferência Nacional dos Bispos do Brasil (CNBB), diante do novo fato histórico da emigração dos brasileiros para o exterior e, motivada pela Conferência Episcopal Americana que propôs uma cooperação entre ambas para melhor atender aos brasileiros que migravam para os Estados Unidos, deu início, em 1996, à Pastoral dos Brasileiros no Exterior (PBE).
