A construção europeia: 40 anos de reflexão em Coimbra

Overview & Synopsis

This volume brings together more than three dozen texts on the current moment of European integration, with contributions from professors and researchers in the social sciences and humanities, linked to different faculties and research centers at the University of Coimbra, but also from other universities. The book presents a reflection on the construction of the European project, situated in space and time. Looking at the last forty years of teaching these subjects at the University of Coimbra (UC), it initially offers a reflection on the contribution of this house of knowledge to the understanding of the European Union, both in Portugal and in other parts of the world. By mapping and reflecting on the teaching and research activities of the Faculties of Law, Economics and Letters at the UC, it seeks to present the public with a historiography of the course of ‘European studies’ in Coimbra, in its multiple perspectives and sensitivities.
