Abstract
The spectacular incident of the Santa Maria, the Portuguese cruise liner hijacked in January 1961 by a group of Portuguese and Spanish exiles led by Captain Henrique Galvão, has been thoroughly examined from several different perspectives (Galvão 1961; Sotomayor 1978; Piñeiro 2000). It is well known also that General Humberto Delgado, unable to leave Brazil for lack of a valid travel document, claimed responsibility for Operação Dulcineia, as it was called (Delgado and Figueiredo 1991: 171–79). Despite rumours of a rift between the two exiled condottieri, they still claimed to be united, and for a few months after the Santa Maria affair they continued to work together, at least publicly. This article will examine their relations over the following eighteen months or so and their relations with other exiles in Brazil and later in Morocco, where they both arrived (independently) in late 1961.

Authors: José M. Magone
Page: 157-174
DOI: 10.1386/pjss.3.3.157/5
Abstract
This article is derived from a paper that was presented to the CPHRC’s Second International Conference, The Estado Novo: the final years’, Paris, 27–28 September 2002.
seeks to delineate the interactive relationship between the European Union and the establishment of a Portuguese democracy that was itself shaped by processes that had already begun during the 1960s. In the first section we will discuss the relationship between the authoritarian regime and the European Union. The second section discusses how the European Union shaped the outcome of the revolutionary process. The third section explains why it took so long for Portugal to become a member of the European Community. The fourth section discusses Portugal’s integration into the European Union and how it gained the self-confidence with which to shape European policy-making.
Representative government and the investment development path: Macao’s colonial legacy
Authors: Frans-Paul van der Putten

DOI: 10.1386/pjss.3.3.175/1
Abstract
According to John H. Dunning’s model of the investment development path, governments play a crucial role in the early phases of a country’s participation in international investment flows. This article explores the relevance of Macao’s colonial legacy for the territory’s current position in the investment development path. The main focus is on the system of government that existed before 1999 and that was characterized by a lack of representation of the long-term economic interests of Macao’s inhabitants.
Moving into adulthood in a southern European country: transitions in Portugal
Author: Maria das Dores Guerreiro, Pedro Abrantes
Page: 191-209
DOI: 10.1386/pjss.3.3.191/1
Abstract
This article analyses how young people progress to adult life in Portuguese society. It is based on the main conclusions of sociological research into transitions to adulthood in Portugal, a society that is itself passing through far-reaching and rapid transition, both economically and culturally. In this article, analysis of transitions to adulthood focuses on four central dimensions – education, work, family, and gender. After that, an attempt to create a typology of modes of transition to adult life is done on a final section. The typology is presented as a way of analysing the complex forms through which those different dimensions are articulated and intertwined along the young people’s pathway to adulthood.
