Resumo(s)
A criação de riqueza e a sua justa distribuição têm alimentado muitas e acesas
discussões. Constituem uma preocupação para a humanidade e envolvem tanto
indivíduos como decisores políticos. De acordo com vários autores, a motivação humana e da governação devem ser, fundamentalmente, regidas por uma conduta que tem como objetivo último a obtenção da “felicidade” ou a promoção do “bem-estar” da
sociedade, i.e. o bem comum.
Neste trabalho, analisa-se a evolução do crescimento económico e do desenvolvimento
sustentável dos últimos séculos. Da observação da sociedade moderna e, em particular,
das opções políticas no pós-II Guerra Mundial, conclui-se que a cooperação para o
desenvolvimento tem sido uma opção política mantida tanto como imperativo ético,
assim como de auto-interesse.
Depois do 25 de Abril, Portugal abraçou este desígnio, em especial, junto dos Países
Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa (PALOP) e de Timor-Leste. Apesar de terem
especificidades resultantes dos trajetos percorridos, existem traços comuns que os
ligam entre si. A cooperação para o desenvolvimento implementada entre estes Estados
reflete essa mesma realidade. Porém, após as independências e o apoio de que
beneficiaram, os PALOP e Timor-Leste apresentam ainda vulnerabilidades e
desigualdades às quais importa responder com intervenções concretas e adequadas. É,
pois, sobre a relação no âmbito da cooperação para o desenvolvimento entre Portugal
e os PALOP e Timor-Leste que nos debruçaremos com maior profundidade, procurando
perceber de que modo as condições proporcionadas permitem alcançar os níveis de
desenvolvimento pretendidos.
Neste propósito, apresenta-se um modelo que, numa abordagem ex ante, apoia a
decisão dos stakeholders envolvidos na Cooperação Portuguesa, de modo a alcançarem maiores níveis de eficácia e eficiência e, simultaneamente, de “felicidade” e “bem-estar”.
The creation of wealth and its fair distribution have fuelled many heated discussions. They are a concern for humanity and involve both individuals and policy-makers. According to several authors, human motivation and governance must be fundamentally governed by conduct that has as its ultimate goal the achievement of "happiness" or the promotion of the "well-being" of society, i.e. the common good. In this work we analyse the evolution of economic growth and sustainable development of the last centuries. From observation of modern society and, in particular, of the political choices in the post-World War II period, it is concluded that development cooperation has been a political choice maintained both as an ethical imperative and as one of self-interest. After the 25th of April, Portugal embraced this goal, in particular with the Portuguesespeaking African Countries (PALOP) and Timor-Leste. Although they have specific characteristics resulting from the journeys made, there are common traits that link them together. The development cooperation implemented between these States reflects this same reality. However, after their independence and support, the PALOPs and Timor-Leste still have vulnerabilities and inequalities to which concrete and appropriate interventions must respond. It is therefore on the relationship in development cooperation between Portugal and the PALOPs and Timor-Leste that we will look in greater depth, seeking to understand how the conditions provided allow the desired levels of development to be achieved. In this regard, a model is presented that, in an ex ante approach, supports the decision of the stakeholders involved in Portuguese Cooperation in order to achieve greater levels of effectiveness and efficiency and, at the same time, "happiness" and "wellbeing".
