- Between Equality and the Right to Be Different—The Politicization of Concepts in the Fight against Discrimination Due to Sexual OrientationPublication . Costa, BrunoThe debate around the principle of equality and the theme of discrimination around sexual orientation has been one of the most relevant in the process of ensuring the spread of human rights. After ensuring a set of civil and political rights, several groups and social movements have warned political actors of the need to look at each citizen’s individuality and guarantee through legislation and daily practices, respect for that individuality. This process is being conducted around the dichotomy between the concepts of equality and difference. It is from this analysis of the two concepts that we come across the theme of the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transvestite, transexual and transgender (LGBTQ+) community. With a qualitative approach, and while referring to the historical path of this theme, we review the central concepts in the promotion of equality and analyze the dichotomy between equality and difference. We ask, in an increasingly globalized world, does it make sense to point out difference as a mechanism for the defense of equality? Using semiotics, we approach the two central concepts and the political effort to normalize this theme to the public, using the Portuguese case (law and Non-Governmental organizations action) to characterize the central debate on equality and difference.

- From European unity to the challenges of the 21st centuryPublication . Costa, BrunoThe European project is marked by decades of achievements and successes, in a path that has seen advances and setbacks regarding the debate between institutional deepening and the enlargement of the EU to new Member States. This is a debate that has been fueled by different political options and changes in the institutional framework of the European Union, namely at the level of «informal decision-making directories» that condition and write the history of the European project. The path of success adopted by European leaders is undeniable, in a project started with 6 founding countries and which today brings together 27 Member States, with several countries following the path of accession. This path is fueled by the sharing of a common identity and the pursuit of improving living conditions, in a message that has been disseminated over decades and implemented by a spirit of solidarity between peoples.

- Serbia: Between Doubt and Conviction – Paths of an Integration ProcessPublication .

- Populismo e Autoritarismo – entre o caminho democrático e a atração pelo abismoPublication . Costa, BrunoO século XXI tem sido marcado por um reaparecimento de soluções populistas em diversos espaços/pontos geográficos do mundo. Este fenómeno não adota um modelo único, sendo caracterizado por uma diversidade de medidas, regras, intensidades e caminhos, quanto à implementação de modelos de governação assentes em valores e ideias populistas. O atual contexto de medição da qualidade das democracias impele-nos a aprofundar o estudo em tomo dos sistemas políticos e dos diversos elementos utilizados para aferir os regimes democráticos no contexto global, com o crescente espaço do populismo nas cúpulas políticas internacionais. No seio da literatura existente podemos encontrar diversos contributos sobre a evolução dos regimes políticos e sobre a análise do exercício do poder político, num processo interligado com perspetivas e explicações associadas ao nível de desenvolvimento dos países e à situação económica e social das populações. Ou seja, encontramos espaço para identificar causas e estímulos para as mudanças na estrutura e no funcionamento dos regimes políticos. O presente contributo centra-se em três tópicos: discussão sobre o conceito de "populismo" no quadro das democracias contemporâneas; enquadramento do populismo na dimensão plural de funcionamento das democracias; progressivo espaço que o populismo tem conquistado no quadro de regimes políticos mais instáveis. O caminho aqui traçado vai ao encontro de uma perspetiva de estudo e compreensão da mudança dos regimes e sistemas políticos, num quadro de alta volatilidade política e maior aceitação do populismo por parte de diversas comunidades políticas.
- Party Newspapers Perspectives and ChoicesPublication . Espírito Santo, Paula do; Costa, BrunoThe focus of this article is on how different parties use its party newspapers as instruments of political communication, in the current political context, particularly in Portuguese press. As is to be expected, the newspapers reproduce the party’s vision and help disseminate their leaders’ political ideals and proposals. There are, however, significant differences in the history and format of each publication, in terms of the way the political message is put across and the scope of the subjects addressed. This article is based on a content analysis technique, through a categorical qualitative and quantitative systematization. The expected results are centered on the discussion about the communication strategies of ideologically different party newspapers which are visible in front pages. Moreover, this study is expected to contribute to the discussion about personalization in politics, focusing and considering in particular party newspapers. This is a subject that has been scarcely investigated in communication studies and in political science, despite the presence and ideological place of party newspapers in the past and at present. The aim of this article is to make a contribution toward demonstrating and boosting the interest of this important support to party life and politics.
