Abstract
Este trabalho coloca em perspetiva a política de reforma do co-lonialismo português promovida por Marcelo Caetano entre 1968 e 1974. Neste sentido, faremos primeiro a análise do processo de refor-ma da administração colonial levado a cabo por Caetano com vista à “autonomia progressiva e participada” das colónias. Depois, demons-traremos os limites dessa política de autonomização colonial, bem como o afloramento de fortes tensões no seio do regime provocadas pela oposição dos seus setores mais conservadores. Por fim, iremos tecer algumas considerações sobre o bloqueio da governação marce-lista, com a consequente queda da ditadura em 25 de Abril de 1974.
This paper discusses the reform of Portuguese colonialism pro-moted by Marcelo Caetano between 1968 and 1974. As such, I will first analyse the Portuguese colonial administration’s reform process carried out by Marcelo Caetano, under its policy of “progressive auton-omy and participation” of the colonies. Then, I will discuss the limits of this autonomy policy and the brewing of strong tensions within the Portuguese regime. Finally, I will make a few remarks about the blockade of Marcelo Caetano’s government, which resulted in the fall of the dictatorship on April 25, 1974.
