This project gathers a number of experts in different areas of social sciences (history, sociology, law, international relations, political science and political economy) so as to conduct an overall analysis of Portugal's participation in the EU, after 20 years of integration.
Objectivos: 
The year of 2006 marks the twentieth anniversary of Portugal's accession to the European Union. This event significantly changed the country's historic, social, economic, political and legal reality. To commemorate this event, it was considered an interesting idea to conduct an overall analysis of Portugal's pathway. In general, the different contributions should constitute a global, interdisciplinary and multi-faceted perspective of how Portugal has lived its membership of the European Union. As the chronology of the project shows, the process involves the authors coming together twice in order to maintain the consistency and unity of the volume that is intended to be published. In the first meeting, carried out in December 2004, the content of the volume was defined formally and substantially. In 2005 a conference will be held where all the authors will be present their contributions. After a process of revision, these contributions will be published in a special number of Análise Social, as well by a commercial publisher.
State of the art: 
O volume inspirador deste projecto &eacute;&nbsp; o livro editado em 1994 por&nbsp; Jos&eacute; da Silva Lopes, intitulado Portugal and EC membership evaluated, publicado pela Pinter Publishers. Existem alguns volumes recentes que abordam a evolu&ccedil;&atilde;o da democracia portuguesa e que necessariamente discutem a Uni&atilde;o Europeia, em especial aqueles editados por Ant&oacute;nio Costa Pinto, nomeadamente o Modern Portugal e o Contemporary Portugal. Para al&eacute;m desses, tamb&eacute;m recentemente Paul Manuel e Sebastian Royo editaram um volume em que se faz um balan&ccedil;o dos quinze anos da integra&ccedil;&atilde;o de Portugal e Espanha na UE. Ainda assim, consideramos que o nosso projecto se distingue destas valiosas contribui&ccedil;&otilde;es. De facto, procuraremos simultaneamente uma perspectiva mais restrita e mais abrangente do que os volumes acima mencionadas. Mais restrita na medida em que visamos explicar a rela&ccedil;&atilde;o de Portugal com a UE e n&atilde;o a democracia portuguesa como acontece nos volumes editados por Ant&oacute;nio Costa Pinto. Mais abrangente do que o volume de Royo e Manuel j&aacute; que abordaremos a quest&atilde;o sob diversas lentes anal&iacute;ticas providenciadas pelas diferentes &aacute;reas das ci&ecirc;ncias sociais. <p>&nbsp;</p>
