This course has been designed to promote and encourage the Portuguese-speaking countries’ (PSC’s) scientific study, adopting both perspectives: International Relations and Political Science. The PSC will be organized in three groups (Portuguese-speaking small developing island states, African Portuguese-speaking countries and Ibero-American Portuguese-speaking countries), taking into consideration their intrinsic characteristics and regional location. The study theoretical framework will be grounded in the post-colonial studies, regional development and globalization, and focus on the post-independence political, economic and social developments. Finally, this course also aims to encourage further post-graduate research on PSC in specific or thematic areas.
