In late January, Miguel Rocha de Rocha (a Nova SBE alumnus now running the economics department at Evora University) asked me for an updated publication list - just before faculty home pages were discontinued. After quickly selecting 292 entries from my website (266 academic titles and 26 policy documents) and pointing to popular writings and media appearances of similar magnitude, I could not resist the urge of double checking and wondered whether this could take the form of a Working Paper. Encouraged by the librarian to submit the result, I soon realized that the total came to four digits, even leaving out all most political documents and communications while I held elected office. The result is listed in two tables, the first one with the nine types he suggested (roughly books, journal articles and short writings), the second with print, radio and TV, fetched from often cryptic entries in diaries. It is prefaced by a curriculum vitae, minimally updating the one I had written and posted over ten years ago ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

The virtuous cycle between development success and foreign policy in Cape Verde reflects a positive interaction between globalization and governance. Development success under globalization entails positive market perceptions regarding the orientation and predictability of policies as well as the accompanying institutional arrangements, thereby making foreign policy salient beyond the comparator group, or "aspirational". Even if there is no universally applicable development model, an aspirational foreign policy can be built on positive rankings with respect to comparator groups. In Macedo and Pereira (2010), macrolevel policy and institutional combinations underpinning trade diversification and income convergence in West and Southern Africa are used to establish development success for Cape Verde and Mozambique respectively. Here, the narrative of long-term development helps identify the following drivers: moving towards a market economy; opening up to regional and global trade; increasing economic and political freedom; pursuing macroeconomic stability and financial reputation; ensuring policy continuity (especially in trade and industrial sectors) and focusing on human development (especially poverty reduction and education). Looking at GDP per capita and indicators of financial reputation and good governance of sub-regional peers is not sufficient to conclude that Cape Verde's convergence will be sustained. Nevertheless, the positive interaction between trade and financial globalization, on the one hand, and democracy and good governance, on the other, have positive implications for the effectiveness of foreign policy across the region as well as in the Portuguese-speaking community.

Une vue comparative sur la complémentarité des réformes La soutenabilité d'un processus de réformes dépend da la complémentarité des poli- tiques une intéraction positive avec le taux de croissance se dégage de l'expérience des nouveaux membres de l'Union Européenne. L'architecture des réformes est égale- ment utile pour comprendre les effets du changement de régime suite à l'union monétaire, ce qui est illustré par l'expérience portugaise après la signature du traité de Maastricht

This study examines the role of monetary & fiscal policies in Portuguese economic regime change, which culminated in the entry of the escudo into the ERM (Exchange Rate Mechanism) of the EMS (European Monetary System) in 1992. It measures trends in nominal & real convergence & attributes the current divergence to the resilience of the fiscal constitution. In addition, it discusses the structural changes achieved during the period of convergence & those still needed for Portugal to avoid suffering the "euro hold-up." It illustrates the limits of external pressure & the constraints imposed by the historical fiscal model. Indeed, the Portuguese experience shows that the euro, by itself, cannot change the fiscal constitution. Different policy areas need specific reform efforts; otherwise, they stall & affect each other in a negative way. 2 Tables, 3 Figures, 15 References. Adapted from the source document.
