The transformative role of Angels’ cultural organisations under austerity
Publication . Rego, Raquel; Borges, Vera
Several non-profit cultural organisations opened up public spaces
during the financial crisis in Lisbon with a particular concentration
in the Anjos neighbourhood. These organisations promote
different activities, ranging from debates, exibitions, traditional
dancing, activist cinema to bars. This article aims to convey the
transformative role they played for individuals, the neighbourhood
and the city. Although facing challenges over organisational
sustainability as they are not publicly funded, these organisations
do seem to have reinvented the mission of the century-old
recreational societies through their convivial and transdisciplinary
activities. Based on documental analysis and interviews with
different actors, we map this vibrant neighbourhood and show
that these hybrid organisations represent what cultural democracy
may today look like, while providing resilient responses to the
contextual challenges.
Elections in Cape Verde, 1991-2016: Testing the second-order election model in a consolidated semi-presidential African democracy
Publication . Pereira Miguel, José; Nina, Susana Rogeiro; Delgado, Danielton
In this article, we analyse patterns of turnout and electoral choices of Cape Verde’s citizens in different types of elections, looking at all legislative, presidential and local elections held between 1991 and 2016, and testing four hypotheses derived from the second-order election model about differences in terms of turnout, number of spoiled/blank papers, results for the incumbent party and the electoral success of smaller parties. Our results show that, in what regards turnout and electoral behaviour, local elections present the features of second-order elections much more clearly than the presidential elections in this semi-presidential regime. However, this pattern does not necessarily mean that voters look at the latter as less second-order, but since they often took place in the honeymoon period of the legislative electoral cycle, it may only mean that there were lower incentives to punish the incumbent and/or disengage from political participation.
