Portugal, the European Union and Shelter Theory

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

European Union accession on 1 January 1986 was a turning point for Portugal. This chapter uses shelter theory to explain and understand Portugal’s involvement in European integration and, more specifically, its EU membership. The chapter explains why Portugal joined the EU and will thus analyse whether EU membership provides the country with political, economic and societal shelter.
