José Tavares Won a FCT Project

José Tavares won a project in the Competition for research projects “The 25th of April and Portuguese democracy”, promoted by FCT in collaboration with the 50 years of the 25th of April Commemorative Commission. The Legacy of Conflict on Socioeconomic Dynamics and Human Behavior: Evidence from Portugal’s Veterans of War will analyze the socio-economic trajectories of Portuguese war veterans who served in military operations in African territories from 1961 to 1974. The research aims to explore the capacity of Portuguese democracy to effectively reintegrate this substantial number of soldiers into the national economy and society upon demobilization, acknowledging the inherent challenges of such reintegration. The co-IR for this project is Luciano Amaral. The total budget for Nova SBE is around 25 000 euros. Other institutions involved: ISEG, IPRI-NOVA, and Brown University (USA)
