As capacidades de obtencao, tratamento e utilizacao de informacao economica ganham relevância, especificamente como forma de reduzir a incerteza no processo de decisao, pelo que se constata a necessidade de sistematizar processos para que essas capacidades possam ser operacionalizadas. Para conceber um sistema desta natureza importa abordar a tematica das informacoes, a sua tipificacao e forma de producao. Tratando-se de um sistema para apoio ao decisor em materias economicas, e conveniente definir o conceito de informacoes economicas, delimitando o seu âmbito. Por outro lado, uma vez que o objetivo passa tambem por apresentar uma proposta de operacionalizacao, sera util retratar a evolucao historica e o panorama atual das informacoes em Portugal.

Cohen (particularly focused on his theoretical concepts), as well as the most recent geoeconomic views, in order to identify possible points of coincidence. Thus, in the first part we will start by describing in broad terms the geopolitical model advocated by this author. The second part is devoted to geoeconomy and its main features, specifically regarding the link between economic and geopolitical factors. In the third part we will identify some of the main common points between Cohen’s geopolitical model and the recent geoeconomic approaches, using and analyzing charts and graphics. In the end, we will present the main conclusions from the conducted analysis.

Bearing this in mind, the option was to focus the analysis in the ontological dimension of the concept and its elements, particularly the National Identity. In this way, the paper begins with a brief introduction about the National Strategic Concept, distinguishing it from the National Defense Strategic Concept; next we discuss the subject of National Identity, namely its construction process, focused in the Portuguese case; in third, we will discuss the construction process of the National Strategic Concept, detailing its ontological dimension; last but not least, we will present some brief conclusions.

Any protocol needs security to develop his actions as well as the security needs protocol tools to be enforced. Being the State Protocol and the Official Protocol maximum instruments in the formal designations of the institutional relationships, from them derive: order, obedience and security. This virtuous triangle of the State Protocol is based on the predictability of acts, the anticipation of constraints and the conflict avoidance. Security has as its first objetive the protection of people and institutions. This first concept of general integrity defence is associated with the promotion of independence. In a time of strong threats, it is expected the increment of the security measures that do not exempt protocol norms and rules. The public and private sectors share the management of security competencies and, therefore, it is urgent to deepen strategies of coexistence where the instruments of the protocol will always have a conciliatory role among the agents.

As pessoas jovens encontram-se entre os grupos sociais mais vulneráveis e mais afetados pelos efeitos negativos das deslocações, especialmente quando são forçadas. Contudo, o setor da juventude e respetivas organizações, pela sua especificidade, bem como o sistema desportivo, podem constituir-se como atores relevantes nos processos de integração destes indivíduos. «O recurso a metodologias de educação não formal e a contextos de aprendizagem informal, basilares no trabalho com jovens, são formas privilegiadas de intervenção das organizações e técnicos de juventude. Contudo, estas ações e intervenções carecem de um planeamento e uma preparação meticulosos, não podendo assumir-se como resposta a todo o tipo de problemas e necessidades».

This practical guidance and toolbox are aimed at youth workers who deal with the integration process of young migrants. It provides tips, advice and guidance to youth workers and youth organisations, as extracted from best practice examples across Europe. Moreover, it advises how to draft a toolbox that aims to be practical within a specific geographical area (municipality, region, country) and with a specific dimension (according to the grid of this report).

For this purpose, we took as a main theoretical reference the systemic approach focused on the dimension of information flows. Concerning methodology, we relied on the analysis of public policies, specifically in the domain of policy learning. The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach, using several disciplines, with particular emphasis on Political Science, Strategy, Geoeconomics, Security and Intelligence Studies. We address Economic Security, as well as the principles of economic warfare, as a relevant dimension of National Security, underlying the growing importance of the economic dimension in modern conflicts. We also refer to the conceptual dimension of Intelligence and its inclusion in the decision-making process. For the structuring of the national economic intelligence system, we adopted the French system as the main reference and inspiring model and, in addition, the economic intelligence systems of Germany, Canada, United States of America, Japan and the United Kingdom. The French model was adapted to the national context, combined with the synthesis of the most relevant features (and flagged as good examples) of the remaining models. In this thesis we argue that in a national economic intelligence system, the State should play a central role in its coordination and the governing body should be very close to the top level of political decision. In organizational terms, we claim that the most appropriate model should be based on the principle of a centralized coordination and, at the same time, a decentralized and flexible operation. We also argue in favour of the allocation of a relevant role for the intelligence services, both in the intelligence production and in the technical support of the system, and a close relation with the business sector and the academy.
