Following T. H. Ma shall, we ake ci izenship o en ail h ee dimensions: ci ic, poli ical and social. The ci ic elemen includes he igh s necessa y o indi idual eedom – eedom o he pe son, igh o exp ession, hough and ai h, igh o p ope y and o conclude alid con ac s, and he igh o jus ice. The poli ical dimension o ci izenship includes he igh o pa icipa e in he exe cise o poli ical powe , as a membe o an ins i u ion wi h poli ical au ho i y o as a o e o such ins i u ions. Social igh s o ci izenship include he igh o heal h ca e, he igh o social secu i y, he igh o wo k, and he igh o educa ion. So-called ou h-gene a ion igh s, associa ed wi h ecen de elopmen s in a eas such as bio echnology o he In e ne , al hough absen om Ma shall’s o iginal analysis, a e also conside ed he e. Po ugal is an especially ele an case when analysing he causes and mul iple consequences o he c isis. The 2008 in e na ional inancial c isis, which led o he coun y’s bailou in 2011, had a s ong sense o déjà u o hose who emembe he wo p e ious bailou s ha had o be nego ia ed in 1978 and 1983. In ac , Po ugal’s democ a ic expe ience since 1974 has been punc ua ed by ecu en economic c isis. I s equency does no de ac om he di e si ua ion which has ma ked Po ugal in ecen yea s. In 2011, he coun y was unable o inance i sel , ha ing los access o in e na ional capi al ma ke s. This o ced he Po uguese au ho i ies o eques a bailou loan o 78 billion Eu os. In mid-2011, he Po uguese go e nmen and he T oika o lende s signed a Memo andum o Unde s anding de ailing he condi ions unde which his loan was o be g an ed. The bailou ’s condi ionali y, ollowing he so-called “Washing on consensus” on p i a isa ion, de egula ion and ade libe aliza ion, ocused on educing public de ici , educing he segmen a ion o labou ma ke s and e o ming wel a e p o ision. This esul ed in a long pe iod o economic ecession, eco d-high unemploymen a es and signi ican le els o immig a ion. Po ugal ound i sel among he mos g a ely hi coun ies in he Eu ozone, close o G eece, I eland, Spain, Cyp us and I aly. A he same ime, s a ing in he summe o 2013, a wa e o hund eds o housands o Sy ian and No h A ican e ugees began eaching Eu opean sho es, pu ing immense p essu e on Eu opean go e nmen s o in eg a e hem.

This may pa ly help explain why, unlike in o he Sou he n and Eas e n Eu opean coun ies, he e has been no ise o populis mo emen s o leade s in Po ugal. I any hing, he c isis seems o ha e ein o ced, a he han ques ioned, he commi men o he Po uguese o he ci izenship igh s won on 25 h Ap il, 1974. The main goal o his olume is o discuss he ways in which ci izenship, i s exe cise and ou unde s anding o wha i means o be a ci izen, has e ol ed in he con ex o hese e en s. The assump ion is ha he c isis, in i s a ious dimensions, has c ea ed signi ican challenges o he way in which ci izenship has been exe cised. A second goal is, whene e ele an and possible, o ake a longe - e m and compa a i e app oach. This includes p ima acie he Eu opean con ex , which has gained addi ional ele ance gi en he ole o he Eu o and he eu in he o igins and managemen o he c isis, as well as he La in Ame ican con ex , whose Ibe ian oo s a o d impo an poin s o ansa lan ic compa ison. A hi d and ela ed goal is o ques ion whe he 21s cen u y economic globalisa ion and i s inancial dimension can be e ec i ely egula ed by elec ed o ms o go e nmen , and whe he he eu and o he mul ila e al and egional o ganisa ions a e supplying use ul ci izenship and go e nance o he na ional dimension. Due conside a ion will also be gi en o a po en ial end owa ds a poli ical e e sal o globalisa ion, a closing o bo de s, and i s implica ions o he concep o ci izenship. The disciplina y backg ounds o he h ee edi o s o his olume a e, espec i ely, in poli ical sciences, sociology, his o y and in e na ional ela ions. Toge he , we ep esen wo esea ch g oups in he Ins i u e o Social Sciences o he Uni e si y o Lisbon (ics-ul), namely he spa c and he Resea ch G oup on Regimes and Ins i u ions. Ou aim has been o b ing oge he con ibu ions whe e he concep o c isis igu es as ei he a dependen o an independen a iable; sociological and poli ical science s udies del ing in o he consequences o c isis o ci izenship; s udies in in e na ional ela ions and his o y ha p o ide a mo e long- e m pe spec i e; as well as c oss-coun y compa isons adding dep h o he esea ch on he way in which ci izenship has been challenged in imes o c isis. The hi een chap e s making up his olume, and which we summa ise below, all in o h ee sec ions: (1) Ques ioning he c isis; (2) Ac o s in c isis; (3) Consequences o he c isis. in oduc ion 17 ques ioning he c isis The i s chap e in his sec ion is “The c isis o poli ical ep esen a ion: he Po uguese case (2002-2015)” by Manuel Villa e de Cab al and Susana Salgado. Making use o a longi udinal analysis o pos elec o al su eys, as well as o he quan i a i e da a, he ex se s ou o discuss how Po uguese ci izens e alua e poli ical pa ies and poli icians. This, in u n, enables he au ho s o add ess he b oade ques ion o whe he he idea o a “c isis o poli ical ep esen a ion” is indeed he mos app op ia e in accoun ing o his si ua ion. Con i ming Be na d Manin’s hypo hesis ha he deepening o such a c isis o poli ical ep esen a ion may occu simul aneously wi h a scena io o consolida ed democ acy and high le els o o mal educa ion, he au ho s conclude ha his has indeed been he case in Po ugal, namely i one akes in o accoun he combina ion o low le els o u nou in elec ions and ci izens’ esponses o he pos elec o al su eys. The second chap e is “Re isi ing he poli icisa ion o he eu. A h ee- dimensional app oach” by Ma ina Cos a Lobo and Jan Ka emans. This ex p oposes o inc ease ou unde s anding o he ways in which Eu ope has eme ged in na ional poli ical deba es (bo h a he media and pa liamen a y le el), and wi h wha consequences o na ional democ acy, in e ms o ci izen a i udes and poli ical beha iou . One o he majo consequences o he inancial c isis has been o b ing he na u e and consequences o Eu opean in eg a ion o he hea o na ional poli ics.

The au ho s’ o e iew o he li e a u e ames he e ms o an impo an deba e on he s a e o democ acy in Eu ope. The hi d chap e is by Ped o C. Magalhães and Tiago Ab il, and is en i led “Fa ou able ou comes, p ocedu al ai ness, and poli ical suppo : esul s om a su ey expe imen ” I begins wi h he obse a ion ha i is o en he case ha , in hei ela ionship wi h au ho i ies, people ca e no only abou ge ing hei p e e ed ou comes bu also abou he way hose ou comes a e gene a ed, pa icula ly abou he ex en o which decision-making p ocedu es a e ai . The ex ocuses on he case o poli ical au ho i ies, which is pa icula ly ele an o he exe cise o ci izens’ igh s in ha d imes. Making use o a su ey expe imen , he au ho s each h ee di e en conclusions.

Second, hey show ha his inding holds ega dless o he dimension o p ocedu al ai ness – Voice, Neu ali y/Impa iali y and Accessibili y/T anspa ency. This sugges s ha , o e all, ai ness ma e s mo e han ou come a ou abili y.

The las chap e in his sec ion is “Economic c isis and poli ical decision: wo ds and meaning” by Vi gínia Hen iques Calado and Luís Cunha. Thei a gumen is buil on he assump ion ha he “c isis”, ei he as a phenomenon o concep , does no exis independen ly o he social agen s’ meaning- making p ac ices. A c isis is, he e o e, a undamen ally discu si e o ma ion. Na a i es, as p ac ices o p oduc ion o discou se, a e hus hypo hesised o ha e a signi ican impac on how c isis, hei o igins and consequences, a e pe cei ed by he public and managed poli ically. The ex ’s main con ibu ion is i s o iginal analysis o he speeches by Po uguese p ime minis e s in S a e o he Na ion deba es o e en yea s (2008-17). I shows how he no ions o c isis and e o m bu also o adjus men , ideology and eali y we e mobilised o p oduce decisi e e ec s, and ha he ideological eno o poli ical speeches inc eases when one is in he opposi ion and diminishes when one is in o ice. ac o s in c isis The second sec ion s a s wi h a chap e on “Child en, ci izenship and c ises: owa ds a pa icipa o y agenda” by Ana Nunes de Almeida, Ana So ia Ribei o and Jussa a Rowland. The ex discusses he ela ion be ween child en, ci izenship and c ises. D awing upon he indings o wo esea ch p ojec s, i ad oca es he impo ance o including child en’s pe spec i es in c isis na a i es ( he igh o be hea d), as well as a pa icipa o y agenda ecognising child en’s agency and compe encies o be ac i e pa icipan s in policy p ocesses ha conce n no only hei p esen , bu also hei u u e. The six h chap e in he olume is “You h and gene a ions in imes o c isis: Po ugal in he global si ua ion” by Ví o Sé gio Fe ei a. The au ho posi s ha he lexibili y es ablished in he labou condi ions and i s po en ial ex ension h oughou he li e cou se ocuses on inequali ies in he discussion in oduc ion 19 on gene a ions, de aching i om he me e cul u al alues and e hics o li e di e ences. I is hypo hesised ha “p eca iousness”, al hough expe ienced in e y dis inc ways due o young people’s unequal social suppo , can be pa o he co e o a new gene a ional conscience as a s uc u al condi ion conside ed du ing a li e ime. I can ha e deep and ex ended e ec s going beyond he sphe e o he wo king li e, ei ying a con ex ha is a ou able o he on ological insecu i y o he younge ci izens. Mo ing om a sociological pe spec i e o a poli ical one, he nex wo chap e s in his sec ion deal wi h social pa ne s and pa ies. The se en h chap e is “The c isis impac on he poli ical discou se o Po uguese social pa ne s” by Raquel Rego, Miguel Won, B uno Ma ins, Amália Mendes, I ia del Río, Pie e Lejeune. Like Calado and Hen iques’ chap e abo e, his con ibu ion also ocuses on discou se. I o e s an analysis o he e olu ion o he poli ical discou se by ade unions and employe associa ions be ween 2011 and 2014, he pe iod in which he coun y was unde he inancial u elage o he T oika. I is hypo hesised ha he social pa ne s would assume asymme ic posi ions gi en hei opposing ideological pe cep ions ega ding he neo-libe al policies imposed by he Memo andum o Unde s anding. Thei indings gi e c edence o his hypo hesis. In ac , his o iginal analysis o social pa ne s’ discou ses shows ha he bellige en one o he discou se is no only a ea u e o ade union discou se, bu also o employe discou se. Bo h o ganisa ions ha e clea enemies, abs ac , and pola ised: he “capi al” o cg p, and he “s a e” o cip. The eigh h chap e is “Pa y-ci izen online challenges: Po uguese pa ies’ Facebook usage and audience engagemen ” by So ia Se a-Sil a, Diana Dias Ca alho and Júlio Fazendei o. I add esses he con empo a y challenges o ci izenship by looking a he cu en ela ionship be ween pa ies and ci izens in he digi al con ex , a space whe e poli ical ac ion and ac i e ci izenship is inc easingly unde aken. Focussing on how poli ical pa ies use ic and social media, namely Facebook, he au ho s conclude ha since 2010 all majo poli ical pa ies ha e inc eased hei in es men in Facebook con en . In ecen yea s, mos pa ies ha e been mo ing owa ds a s a egy o inc easingly include mo e mul imedia con en so as o diminish hei dependence upon Facebook. The main inding e e s o pan – Pessoas-Animais-Na u eza (People-Animals-Na u e). Despi e being a small and ecen pa y, when aking in o conside a ion he ela i e numbe o “like s”/ iends, i showed he second highes le el o use engagemen . This esul highligh s how he 20 ci izenship in c isis use o new echnologies can a ou new pa ies and help hem o e come hei limi a ions. pan’s success ul Facebook communica ion migh be explained because i eme ged in a mo e ecen echnological con ex when compa ed o pa ies, such as he Po uguese Communis Pa y (pcp), he Socialis Pa y (ps) and he Social Democ a Pa y (psd), which de eloped a a ime when he p in ed mass media was he dominan communica ion channel be ween leade s and ci izens. consequences o he c isis The inal sec ion, on he “Consequences o he c isis”, begins wi h a socio- psychological app oach o ci izen a i udes wi h he chap e “Racisms and no ma i e p essu es: a new ou b eak o biological acism?” by Jo ge Vala and Cíce o Robe o Pe ei a. The au ho s p esen di e en s ands o esea ch – bo h old and new – which hey ha e unde aken on acism in con empo a y Eu opean socie ies, namely on i s impac on social ela ions in di e en socie ies. The esea ch is amed by he concep o social ep esen a ion and social no ms and uses he me apho o acism as an “e ol ing i us” o unde s and he mu a ions o acism in con empo a y socie ies. The au ho s p opose ha acism has unde gone adap i e ans o ma ions, making i possible o main ain he undamen al aspec s o adi ional acial belie s, wi hou jeopa dising democ a ic ins i u ions and a non- acis , non- p ejudiced sel - ep esen a ion. I is he mu a ion ha acism has unde gone, he sub le shi om he biological o he cul u al sphe e, which allows i s o e widesp ead and socially e ec i e pe sis ence. Thei esul s illus a e how exp essions o acism a y ac oss coun ies depending on he dynamic o social ela ions aming he mo i a ions unde lying social iden i ies, and he con en o social ep esen a ions abou human g oups. The en h chap e is “Why no populism in Po ugal? ” by Filipe Ca ei a da Sil a and Susana Salgado. This ex o e s a bluep in o a possible answe o he ques ion why he e is no populism in Po ugal. Populism has been a common consequence o he economic c isis, bo h in Eu ope and elsewhe e. Ye despi e he deep economic ecession Po ugal su e ed be ween 2011 and 2013, he ac emains ha he e was no “populis e ol ” in he coun y, ei he in he o m o a social mo emen like he Indignados mo emen (and he subsequen Podemos pa y) in neighbou ing Spain, o in he o m o a in oduc ion 21 changed discou se by an es ablished poli ical o ce. This ex p oposes a no el esea ch design in o de o answe his ques ion: me hodologically, he nega i e case p esen ed by Po ugal is o be s udied in con as wi h a posi i e case, Spain. Theo e ically, populism is unde s ood o unc ion acco ding o he logic no o enmi y, bu esen men . The logic o esen men includes bo h socio-poli ical indigna ion, which e e s o democ a ic no ms and has he po en ial o ein o ce democ acy, and adical en y, which can slide in o acism and poli ical iolence. The seeming absence o populism in he coun y would be explained, om his pe spec i e, by he pe o ma i e ailu e o poli ical agen s in using ei he o hese sub-logics o esen men o p omo e a populis esponse o he c isis. The ele en h chap e is “In wel a e we us ? Poli ical us in Po ugal and Spain, 2008-2014” by Edalina Rod igues Sanches, José San ana Pe ei a and Isabella Razzuoli. The au ho s seek o iden i y he sou ces o poli ical (dis) us in wo coun ies ha we e p o oundly a ec ed by he Eu ozone c isis: Po ugal and Spain.
