«The Social Origins of Democratic Collapse: First Portuguese Republic in the Global Economy (Studies in Historical Social Change)» por Kathleen C. Schwartman.
Leitura que se afigura como potencialmente interessante, a partir deste extracto da sinopse:
«Schwartzman aims to show how the collapse of the First Portuguese Republic resulted from its marginal place in the world economy, a highly fragmented domestic economy, the failure to forge a "social compromise" between classes and the inability to create stable political coalitions. This study, aims to enhance our understanding of why some democracies and more fragile than others and, thus, more vulnerable to authoritarian takeover. »
