The Reluctant European. A Survey of the Literature on Portugal and European Integration 1947-1974

Description

Abstract:
This bibliographical survey analyses the period open to study through historical archives, from the 1947 Marshall Plan to the 1974 Portuguese Democratic Revolution. Until recently, literature on Portugal and European integration was comparatively underdeveloped in relation to other countries of the European Union. Only the published works of the politician José Gonçalo Corrêa d’Oliveira, the diplomat José Calvet Magalhães, and the economist José da Silva Lopes provided useful starting points for researchers. Fortunately, this has changed in recent years. The research project, “Portugal and the Unification of Europe,” along with other archive-based work, has contributed to a healthier panorama.
Este inquérito bibliográfico analisa, através de arquivos históricos, o período entre o Plano Marshall de 1947 e a Revolução Democrática Portuguesa de 1974. Até recentemente, a literatura sobre Portugal e sobre a integração europeia era comparativamente subdesenvolvida em relação à de outros países da União Europeia. Apenas os trabalhos publicados do político José Gonçalo Corrêa d’Oliveira, do diplomata José Calvet Magalhães e do economista José da Silva Lopes ofereciam aos investigadores pontos de partida proveitosos. Felizmente, essa situação mudou nos últimos anos. O projecto de investigação “Portugal e a Unificação da Europa”, junto a outros trabalhos arquivísticos, tem contribuído para um panorama mais próspero.
