La convergencia de la tecnología de comunicación y el procesamiento de información digital está cambiando rápidamente el modo en que miramos el mundo en nuestra sociedad. A medida que el procesamiento de la información se ha vuelto progresivamente más barato y las redes electrónicas más amplias, lo que una vez era dominio de lo militar y la investigación ha atraído al sector financiero y ahora es una parte importante de cualquier economía nacional o supranacional, que aspira a competir de forma global. Desde 1995 Portugal ha desarrollado políticas y estrategias para su implementación dentro del marco de una estrategia más amplia de la Sociedad de la Información de la Unión Europea. Este artículo describe algunas de las áreas más importantes en la creación y desarrollo de una Sociedad de la Información en Portugal, comentando el papel jugado por los diferentes actores ; ABSTRACT: The convergence of communication technology and digital information processing is rapidly changing the way that we look at the world and our society.

As information processing has become progressively cheaper and electronic networks more extensive, what was once the domain of the military and the researcher has attracted the business sector and is now an important part of any national or supranational economy, aiming to compete globally. Since 1995, Portugal has been developing policies and strategies for their implementation within the framework of the broader European Union Information Society strategy. This paper outlines some of the more important landmarks in the creation and development of an Information Society in Portugal, commenting on the roles played by the different actors.

After an introductory consideration on the specificity of philosophy and social philosophy about the socio-historical world, which can no longer be summarized under the name of "politics", the essay advances a concept of society not as a unity of individuals, territorially or culturally secluded, but as a network of linguistic games, institutions and differentiated spheres. The result is a concept of power constitutively in the plural, which is thought as primarily organizing and collective. The main question, which is only extrinsically negotiable in terms of justice, results in the problem of how to avoid that a sphere predominates over the remaining ones, thus compressing the contributions, potentialities and inclusive capacity of each one. ; Tras considerar la especificidad de la filosofía y de la filosofía social con respecto al mundo histórico-social, que ya no se puede definir bajo el término "política", el artículo propone un concepto de sociedad no como conjunto de individuos desde un punto de vista territorial o cultural, sino como red de juegos, instituciones o ámbitos diferenciados. De ahí procede un concepto de poder constitutivamente al plural, considerado antes que todo como organizante y colectivo. El eje principal que solo extrínsecamente se puede solucionar en términos de justicia atañe al problema de cómo evitar que un ámbito subyugue a los demás, llegando a reprimir las contribuciones, las potencialidades y capacidades inclusivas de cada uno de ellos.

The need for global civil society stems from democratic deficits at the global level, but it is an open question how effective global networks of civil society can be in creating meaningful links of interdependence between societies, global markets and states. Global civil society is actively shaping and informing new constructions for governing globalization as an important actor that can no longer be ignored. It can potentially manage diversity and conflict, support and sustain multi-level public debates. Will a global civil society be able to deliver the enabling frameworks powerful and persistent enough to shape a new global public space?La necesidad de una sociedad civil global proviene de los déficits democráticos existentes a nivel global, pero sigue siendo un asunto pendiente conocer cómo de efectivas pueden ser las redes globales de la sociedad civil en la creación de lazos significativos de interdependencia entre sociedades, mercados globales y estados. La sociedad civil global informa y conforma activamente nuevas construcciones para gobernar globalmente como un actor destacado que no puede ser ignorado más tiempo. Potencialmente puede manejar la diversidad y el conflicto, respaldar y mantener debates públicos en múltiples niveles. ¿Será capaz la sociedad civil global de posibilitar un armazón suficientemente poderoso y persistente para formar un nuevo espacio público global?

This article aims at sinthetizing different perspectives about the rol of internacional civil society (ICV) in the exercise of a global power. It refers to some anglosajon and european recent studies, both at theorical as empirical levels, in order to do an evaluation of the most critical results. Being esceptical about the very concept of ICV, it tries to analize it from different points of view, in order to respond the main problem: is it posible for the ICV to ejercize power at a global level, and which is its legitimity to resolve global issues. The analysis of the concept is based on some results of the classical theory of civil society at a national level, but also examines specific dificulties to define an ICV and its functions in a globalized world. Eventually, it presents some theoretical challenges which are linked with the relation between ICV and a global democratic order. ; Este artículo pretende sintetizar diferentes perspectivas en torno al papel de la Sociedad Civil Internacional (SCI) en el ejercicio de un poder global. Se refiere a distintos y recientes estudios anglosajones y europeos, tanto al nivel teórico como empírico, en aras a realizar una evaluación de sus principales resultados. Siendo escépticos respecto al mismo concepto de SCI, se busca analizarlo desde distintos puntos de vista, para contestar la principal interrogante: es posible para la SCI ejercer el poder al nivel global, y cuál es su legitimidad para resolver problemas globales? El análisis del concepto esta fundamentado en algunos aportes de la teoría clásica de la sociedad civil al nivel nacional, pero también examina las dificultades específicas que plantea el definir una SCI y sus funciones en un mundo globalizado. Finalmente, se presentan algunos retos teóricos que se refieren a la relación entre la SCI y un orden democrático global.

The phenomenon of globalization has brought great changes worldwide in the aspects of society as well as in economy, politics and education. The so-called "Information-based society" and its technological revolution have significantly contributed to the emergence of a new concept of production and education: the so-called "Knowledge Society", in which the development of content is not a main factor, as in the schools from traditional industrial societies, but primarily the development of capacities and skills ; El fenómeno de la globalización trajo consigo grandes cambios a nivel mundial en los aspectos sociales, económicos, políticos y educacionales. La denominada "Sociedad de la información" y su revolución tecnológica contribuyen de forma significativa a la aparición de una nueva concepción de producción y de educación, la llamada "Sociedad del conocimiento", en la que el desarrollo de capacidades y habilidades son el factor principal y no los contenidos como en la escuela de la sociedad industrial.

The problem of the relationship of law and order is relevant to any modern society. The article tries to analyze this relationship, taking into account judicial, police and other activities. The named concepts are closely interconnected, but are not identical. They are correlated as cause and effect: there is a rule of law, there is no rule of law. One suggests the other. The rule of law as concrete reality logically precedes the rule of law as a doctrine, the connection here is hard, causal. The process is one. Law and order: a real indicator of the state of legality, reflects the degree of compliance with the laws, the requirements of all legal regulations. It is concluded that the rule of law is the end result of the implementation of legal requirements and, at the same time, the objective of legal regulation, since it is for the formation and maintenance of the rule of law that laws are issued, thus like other regulatory legal acts, various institutions and bodies and, above all, the justice system, the control system, various human rights organizations and social movements.

Entrapped in the ambiguities of the Realpolitik of the Yalta system, East and Central European societies had to proceed on a long path of learning in order to find the right modes of self-organization and articulation to defend their values and identities vis-à-vis dictatorship and authoritarian rule. These bitter lessons contributed to the emergence of a new «strategy», a new vision which materialized in the emerging political philosophy and the political and social practice of civil society. This development would not have been possible without a gradual and fundamental change in political thinking and goal-setting, expressed in the development of a new concept of civil society.Atrapados en las ambigüedades de la Realpolitik del sistema de Yalta, las sociedades del Centro y Este de Europea han tenido que proceder a un largo camino de aprendizaje a fin de encontrar formas correctas de autoorganización y la articulación de la defensa de sus valores e identidades vis-à- vis con una dictadura y una administración autoritaria. Estas amargas lecciones contribuyeron a la emergencia de una nueva «estrategia», una nueva visión materializada en la emergente filosofía política y la práctica social y política de la sociedad civil. Este desarrollo no hubiera sido posible sin el gradual y fundamental cambio en el pensamiento político y el establecimiento de metas, expresadas en el desarrollo de un nuevo concepto de sociedad civil.
