PRESENTATION
IEP-UCP: A project for the future
which is rooted in the past
The spirit of the famous 15th century Portuguese
Sagres School, headed by Prince Henry the Navigator, – where international scholars, explorers and
navigators gathered together to push human knowledge forward and explore the open seas of liberty
– is the main inspiration of the Instituto de Estudos
Políticos da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, IEPUCP (Institute for Political Studies of the Catholic
University of Portugal).
An international network
This international atmosphere has grown gradually, out of free interaction and trust. For this
reason, we believe it is stronger and it has much more potential then it would, had it been designed only by central or administrative will. It now has several dimensions:
> An ongoing programme of seminars and lectures given by some of the best scholars in
Political Science and International Relations coming from overseas.
> A semester-abroad programme which allows the best IEP students to complete part of their
studies at prestigious overseas Universities such as St. Antony’s and Lincoln Colleges at the
University of Oxford, King’s College, London, Georgetown University and Boston College,
among others. Students of these Universities are also welcome at IEP-UCP.
> An association with other prestigious MA
or PhD courses as a first step to reach jointdegree diplomas. This association now includes
(1) the EUROPAEUM MA Programme in European History and Civilization, a three quarter
course based in Leiden, Sorbonne-Pantheon
(Paris) / IEP-UCP (Lisbon) and Oxford; and (2)
the two-year MA in Democracy Studies at Georgetown University.
> An International Meeting in Political Studies
which is convened by an international committee of senior scholars and takes place annually
in Estoril, near Lisbon. These meetings have had
the association of Harvard University and Boston College Summer Programs, as well as the
Wyzsza Szkola Biznesu, Nowy Sacz, Poland.
It is well to be a gentleman, it is
well to have a cultivated intellect, a
delicate taste, a candid, equitable
dispassionate mind, a noble and
courteous bearing in the conduct
of life – these are the connatural
qualities of a large knowledge, they
are the objects of a University.
John Henry Cardinal
Newman, 1854
Since its foundation in 1996-97, the Institute has gathered together most of the best Portuguese senior scholars and professionals in Political
Science and International Relations, Security and Defence. Its MA and PhD Programmes have
aimed at fostering an international atmosphere where longing for knowledge and the excitement of ideas are open to all – provided one is prepared to work hard and engage in the
critical examination of different lines of argument, tested by experience.

To be bred in a place of estimation; to see
nothing low and sordid from one’s infancy;
to be taught to respect one’s self; to be
habituated to the censorial inspection of
the public eye; (...) to have leisure to read,
to reflect, to converse; (...) to be taught to
despise danger in the pursuit of honor and
duty; (...) to possess the virtues of diligence,
order, constancy, and regularity, and to
have cultivated an habitual regard to commutative justice: these are the circumstances of men that form what I should call a
natural [as opposed to feudal] aristocracy.
Edmund Burke, 1791
Western Tradition of Liberty under Law
Teaching and research at IEP-UCP is based on the most demanding standards of scholarship. Our
programmes cover all the standard branches of political studies and international affairs. Furthermore, we are proud of our strong emphasis on the study of the Western Tradition of Liberty under Law – a tradition which we perceive as a living conversation between generations and a living
dialogue between faith and reason which goes back to Athens, Rome and Jerusalem.
In Winston S. Churchill, we honour one of the greatest representatives of this tradition in
the 20th century. We believe that the bulwark of this tradition lies on the transatlantic relationship between the nations of Europe and of the European Union and America. And we hold
that the Portuguese-speaking peoples are part and want to be part of this tradition.
Liberty and Duty: Education for Gentlemanship
IEP-UCP is proud of being inspired by the gentlemanly tradition of Oxbridge and Ivy League
universities. By this we mean a gentle and evolving combination of aristocratic, bourgeois
and popular ingredients. This, we believe, is the original idea of a University: open to the best
talents, regardless of their social origins. Once one is admitted on the basis of merit, one will be
educated in an understanding that the privilege of education generates a demanding sense
of duty to the public, rather than a self-indulgent arrogance over the public.
We enjoy calling this an education of free and responsible citizens -- gentlemen, in the fortunate English expression. As democracy cannot exist without democrats, we believe that
liberty cannot survive without gentlemen. As Sir Karl Popper used to say, gentlemen do not
take themselves too seriously, but are prepared to take their duties very seriously – especially when
others talk only about their rights.
An experience to recall
The happiest days in my life, so the saying goes about past times at Oxbridge or Ivy League universities. Our aim is that our students at IEP-UCP can feel alike. And that they will want their children,
and their grandchildren, to repeat their unforgettable experience.
This is our idea of a University

SEMINARS
A
iming at the highest level of academic standards, the Institute has at the core of its programme intensive seminars taught by distinguished Portuguese and foreign Professors, encouraging them to
interact with the students, contributing to the development of a cosmopolitan tradition of political
studies. We thank the kind sponsorships granted over the years by the Luso-American Foundation
for Development, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the Brazilian Embassy and the British Council.
“I visited the Institute several times, and each
time I found the experience to be stimulating
and educational. Just meeting and discussing political ideas with people from all over
the world was a fascinating experience for
me. Professor Espada has single-handedly
transformed the study of political theory in
Portugal. He has brought together scholars
from various parts of the world and involved
them in discussions of both scholarly and
practical theories of politics to the benefit of
both Catholic University and the participants
themselves. He is to be congratulated for his
brilliant directorship of the Institute. ”

“I have been associated with the Institute for about half the time of its existence. I have been invited to give lectures at its courses in Lisbon (including
presenting an 18 lecture course on The Great Books, as a Calouste Gulbenkian
Visiting Professor), and I have also participated regularly in the International
Summer Schools during that time.
I have been most impressed with the scope and quality of the Institute’s
programmes and its students. Both would be a credit to any similar institution anywhere in the world.
The fact that much of the work is done in English only adds to the achievement, as it greatly widens the
range of the students’ work and also enables the participation in the Institute of many distinguished
academics and public figures who do not speak Portuguese, but who are (like myself ) honoured to be
invited to contribute to the work of the Institute. The Institute’s students are invariably keen and able
and also charmingly polite and appreciative.
The Institute’s alumni are clearly making their mark in Portuguese public life as a cadre of intelligent
young professionals very well grounded in political thought and practice, particularly (though not
exclusively) in the thought of the Anglo-American philosophical and political tradition. It should not,
though, be overlooked that a significant proportion of its students are non-Portuguese, often diplomats, who are working in Portugal, which both enhances the input into the courses and testifies to the
quality of the Institute’s work and reputation. The International Summer Schools, which regularly bring
together leading academics and commentators and political figures from several continents and major
figures from within Portugal itself, are obviously fantastic events for locals, but they are also greatly
appreciated for the invited participants themselves who are able to learn extensively from them.
Personally my association with the Institute over the last few years has been one of the best and
happiest developments in my recent career. I hope that both the Institute and my connexion with it will
continue to grow and flourish over the next decade, as it has over the past. May I take this opportunity
to offer my warmest congratulations to Professor Espada and his devoted collaborators for all that they
have achieved and for their well deserved successes over the last decade. Here’s to the next!”

“Congratulations on your 10th anniversary.
It is with great pleasure that I recall my many
visits to Portugal and the opportunity I
enjoyed to lecture at the Institute for Political
Studies at the Catholic University. Apart from
the delightful setting and the warmth of the
hospitality I enjoyed, I was struck especially by
the enthusiasm of the students. It has been
a particular pleasure to see some of them in
recent years after they have graduated and
gone on to successful careers. The students

“My view of the Institute of Political Studies
dates from near the beginning, in March 1999,
when my wife Delba and I were invited for a
week. I gave five lectures on Machiavelli to a
class of graduate students that I had to admire from the beginning. Not only did they
follow my lectures but they also laughed at
the jokes and were able to pose challenging
questions to my perhaps strange interpretations. One of these students, Bruno Maçães,
came to study at Harvard afterwards, finishing his Ph D in 2006. He has been one of
the very best students I have ever had. This
was my introduction to the intellectual life
of Portugal, impressive indeed. It was also a
chance for my wife and me to improve our
acquaintance with Lisbon. Most of all we
were very glad to meet Professor Espada,
the founder of the Institute, the man who
had the idea that ideas are the most important ingredient of an education. ”
Harvey C. Mansfield | Professor of Government, Harvard university
“I gave a fortnight’s seminar at the Institute
in October 2002. My subject was the relation
between democracy and the moral life, a
subject I have been developing ever since,
and which will be finished in book form this
year. My thesis was part intellectual history
and part conceptual analysis, and I found
the students at the Institute attentive and
lively. They asked a range of interesting and
probing questions. This is one of the areas
of intellectual enquiry where lively students
can made an intellectual contribution to a
project, and the Institute’s students certainly
did that for me.”

is a most important

international recognition. It was my privilege
to spend two weeks with your students giving
lectures and conducting discussions on the
political philosophy of Michael Oakeshott.
It was a most enjoyable and rewarding experience from start to finish. The students welcomed me warmly, were very well informed,
conversant with a wide range of contemporary scholarship, and excellent participants
in the discussions. They were a pleasure to
work with, and their final essays for me were
very well done. They are the guarantee of the
future of liberal learning in the next generation. The facilities and working conditions
were also excellent. In all respects, the Institute
is a model of thoughtful learning. I am very
grateful to have been part of it. You can count

“The curricular structure of the programme provides the students with deep and rigorous study of
political and cultural European history. The joint organization also makes possible for an unparalleled learning experience, in some of the most prestigious European universities. The structure, flexibility, pedagogical quality, degree of academic demand and the high individual responsibility make this
programme a valuable complement to the curricular formation provided by IEP.
Without the solid international credibility and reputation built by IEP through out the first 10 years
of existence, I could hardly be admitted and gather the necessary logistic conditions to attend the
Europaeum Masters Programme in European History and Civilisation.
At this moment of examination and celebration, I thank IEP for the enormous privilege of having being
able to study and learn with some of the best scholars in the areas of Political Philosophy, History and
International Relations – in the Institute and abroad. In the beginning of the second decade of existence, I honestly wish that the success of IEP consolidates and grows even more, so that many others may
benefit from this unique institutional experience in the Portuguese University landscape. ”

“Raymond Aron used to write that men make history without knowing it. Since I came in to the IEP I
quickly became aware that I was inside an unparalleled academic environment in Portugal. There were
three reasons that lead me to this perception: I) the academic quality of the faculty and staff; II) the
innovation of curricular subjects; III) the opportunity given to each student to be able to complete his
degrees in foreign academic environments of higher quality.
When I applied to the Europaeum Masters I was aware that it was, simultaneously, an opportunity and
a responsibility. The opportunity to study in three of the best European academic environments – Leiden,
Sorbonne and Oxford – and the responsibility of representing IEP in these institutions. The recognition
that the Institute has abroad is due to its academic level and its Director. This is the IEP chapter that makes
history in the national academic environment. ”

A new study-abroad programme between students from the Center for Democracy and Civil Society at Georgetown University and students from
IEP, in order to strengthen research and training on
issues of democracy and democratic change, permitting students from both universities to deepen

other than their own.
Students from each institution can complete one

“Discovering the Institute for Political Studies of the Catholic University of Portugal was, from the first
moment, extremely rewarding. The closest contact with the institution occurred with the M.A. Program and PhD in Political Science (later, also International Relations), concluding with a scholarship
offered by the IEP, in partnership with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, which allowed me to go
to Lincoln College (Oxford), as “Visiting Student”. Once more, it meant an academic opportunity of
inestimable value. In fact, studying in a university with the tradition, prestige and scientific merit of
Oxford, was a privilege from which I took cultural and scientific benefits, absolutely structural, for my
academic formation.”

“My stay at St. Anthony’s was
vital to the development of
my PhD thesis. Because my
research was centred in Sir
Isaiah Berlin’s political thought,
the time I spent at Oxford gave
me in loco access to bibliographic material that would
be impossible in any other
place. Under the supervision of
Mr. Henry Hardy, I could work
directly on some published
and unpublished essays which
Berlin left to his care after his
death, in 1997.”

The Institute aims at continuously integrating its students in the
international Political Science academic community.
Since 2002 we have established student exchange programmes
with Political Science Departments of several foreign universities,
such as Georgetown, Michigan State and Boston College, as well
as St. Antony’s and Lincoln Colleges in the University of Oxford.
IEP-UCP has succeeded in establishing privileged relationships
with worldwide renowned institutions. They all offer highly sophisticated research resources, starting with their outstanding
libraries. During their stay abroad, our students also have the
opportunity to make contacts and exchange ideas with scholars
and students working on their areas of research.
We are very grateful for the sponsorship granted by the Calouste
Gulbenkian Foundation to our students from 2002 to 2005 - the
scholarships were most important for the success of this initiative.

“Lord Plant’s kindness and openness broke all
barriers. We decided our working method: a
weekly reunion (always in the House of Lords) and
a dizzying reading schedule: 45 books to digest in
five days. (...) I can go straight to the point and say
that in 10 weeks I had made an academic achievement that would have taken me more then one
year to do in any other place.”

“It’s a privilege to do research at Oxford,
especially for people like me working in
political theory, not only because prominent
thinkers like John Locke and Isaiah Berlin
have studied, taught and lived here, but
also because here we “breathe” politics.
The extraordinary academic environment
makes this an excellent opportunity to get
acquainted to new ideas and points of view,
as well as to test theories. I would say this is
also the result of living in residential colleges,
a main Oxford characteristic. The quantity
and quality of the professors are remarkable,
as it is the support they generously provide
to students. The libraries’ resources are
shocking to someone used to our national
bibliographic sub-nutrition. In the midst of
a lively academic life, at the end of the day,
there is always time for a crocket match.”

“International vocation is one of the distinctive marks of IEP, concerned with forming
free and responsible citizens and opening
their human and academic horizons.
During the M.A. and in the scope of the
exchange program with foreign universities,
I had the opportunity to spend one quarter
in the University of Oxford. It was a unique
experience, from the academic and personal point of view. I resided in St. Antony’s
College and had access to all colleges and
libraries of the University. I will never forget
this experience. ”
“The International Exchange Programme
took place when I was starting to write my
thesis, and it was, thus, an essential time period for its development. It gave me not only
the freedom and tranquillity that allowed
me to dedicate myself fully to my subject,
but it also put me in a place of exceptional
resources. The quality of the Professors,
lectures, libraries and of my supervisor made
my own capabilities the only limit to my
work. The quality of the place – intense,
quick and profound – energised me in a
way that is still enduring.”

“The American experience was impressive. I met an academy and an university environment absolutely
different, which allowed me to deepen my knowledge on the realm of Political Philosophy, Contemporary Political Theory and, equally relevant, to follow an intense and heated academic debate about the
domestic and international political situation in a country that had just ended a period of elections and
was dealing with the war in Iraq. From Harvard University, to Boston University, to Boston College, the
debates, cycles and seminars succeeded in an impressive rhythm.”

“I would like to stress the attention and
kindness with which I was welcomed at
the University of Oxford, particularly at St.

My research aimed at stimulate my intellectual autonomy and to exercise a critical
attitude in a rigorous way.”

“Those were 10 weeks of intense work and
academic interchange, which have proven to
be most relevant to my studies in the electoral
systems field. It was also a very rewarding
life experience. During my stay at Oxford, my
work had the precious supervision of Professor
Raymond Plant, renowned scholar in Political
Theory, and the President of the Labour Party
Working Committee on Electoral Systems.”

“The final balance of living in the American
academy of political science was extremely
positive. By participating in the Afrobarometer I understood the importance of using
quantitative methods and techniques in
comparative politics, but also how these
may and should be applied to the African
Continent. (...) Professor Michael Bratton
supervised and guided me during my stay
at MSU with the same care and attention he
dedicates to his doctoral students.”
“The participation in a program of student
exchange at the IEP was, for me, a great privilege. Besides allowing me to know closely
the life of a University in another country,
making it possible, for example, to participate in specialized conferences and seminars
or to deepen research through the access to
excellent libraries, it means mostly to have
“open doors” in a foreign Institution. (...), one
of the most rewarding experiences on academic, professional and human level..”

“As a student of the Institute, I benefited from a plural academic environment, in which the rigor and
the openness to the sincere and open debate match in a harmonious way. Besides the possibility
of interacting with many interesting colleagues and with a faculty of unquestionable quality, my
presence at IEP was extremely enriching from the intellectual point of view. I allow myself to distinguish
two main aspects: first, the excellent program of foreign guest professors, that allows the students of
IEP a close contact with some of the main international scholars in field of political science; second, the
wide range of seminars that allow each one to deepen themes that are of their particular interest or to
discover new fields of study.
As I was able to witness personnally in more than one occasion since the end of my M.A., that the IEP is
also open and receptive to external initiatives that seek to promote reflection and debate of ideas, contributing without a doubt to the dynamic environment of the Institute and the vitality of its relations
with civil society. In the Portuguese context, the creation of IEP 10 years ago constituted a challenge to
several established monisms and its evolution proves that a bet in genuine pluralism, without relativism, can be successful even in a country in which that tradition is, unfortunately, scarce.

” I have participated in the annual meeting of the Institute most years
in the past ten years. The Institute is a remarkable body. It attracts leading academic figures to its annual meetings as well as leading figures
from think tanks, policy institutes, foundations and high quality journalism. The presentations and discussions that I have participated in at
the Institute have been among the most interesting and rewarding in
the whole of my forty years in academic life. One of the most interesting and engaging aspects of the Institute is the quality of the students
it attracts both from Portugal and further afield. They are engaged and interested in the issues being
discussed and think and speak seriously about them but without the atmosphere and the ethos being
solemn. One of the joys of coming over a long period has been to see the development of these young
leaders of tomorrow. Year on year they impress as they grow in maturity and intellectual stature. The
bodies which sponsor the Institute should feel very proud to have fostered this organisation which has
now established itself as a forum within which issues of great intellectual, political and policy interest
can be discussed in a non partisan and serious way. People go to Davos to listen to business leaders;
they are increasingly coming to the Palacio Hotel in Estoril to listen to very influential voices in politics,
policy and economics resting on a firm foundation of appropriate theory and analysis where the only
thing not allowed is sloppy thinking! Any praise for the Institute must take in the indefatigable figure
of Professor Joao Espada. He has played an enormous central role in launching the Institute, giving it
initial and immediate intellectual weight, and in attracting the brightest and best of intellectual talent
from around the world. The people of Portugal should take great pride in what has been achieved in
the Institute under his inspired leadership.I look forward to many more years of interesting discussions in
a context that is now so well established as one of the best exchanges of ideas in the world!”

” My experience with the Institute for Political Studies at the Catholic
University of Portugal has been one of a search for freedom of thought
and the most stimulating exchange of opinion – be it on matters of
politics, economics, history or philosophy. I have not had the fortune
to see the Institute at its birth a decade ago, thus I can only venture to
imagine how much effort, passion and determination it required at the
outset to breathe life into an idea. Yet I have had the privilege of seeing
it mature with the passing years, as the effort, passion and determination came to inspire a growing
number of people active in the academia, business, politics, virtually all opinion-creating venues.
As the chair of the Department of International Affairs and National Security at WSB-NLU, I have had the
opportunity, together with my students, to take part in the annual Meetings in Political Studies. The truly
commendable feature of those meetings has been their ability to create a uniquely informal atmosphere,
so characteristic of the informal fire-side discussion clubs. The Institute for Political Studies has managed
to create a unique forum of unrestrained discussion, freed from the bounds of political correctness. It has
been most successful in fostering a frank exchange of views on the wide range of transatlantic issues,
contemporary political, economic and cultural trends.
I have always drawn a true inspiration from my participation in the annual meetings organized by the
Institute, both for my academic work, as well as for my government service. Through the panel debates, and
most importantly through the opportunity for open discussions as part of the meetings, the acquaintances
made have more than once proved to be most helpful, making counsel and assistance, be it on political or
academic matters and projects, readily available. ”
Piotr Naimski | Professor of Foreign Relations and National Security, and Vice-Dean of Department of

“Year after year, with customary discretion,
the meetings take place with prominent
guests from both sides of the Atlantic. There,
friendships have been forged and connections have been reinforced. For conservatives, Cascais is a point of reference. These are
not easy times. For this reason, more than
ever, Cascais for us represents a chance to
exchange viewpoints, experiment with different approaches, and try to understand the
drift of our societies - always conscious of the
fact that the Atlantic unites, not separates,
us and that the threats on one side are the
same as on the other.”

“The Institute of
Politics has been
an invaluable
meeting place for
people of diverse
views in highly
challenging times.
If ‘the West’ still has vital meaning, it is
partly due to institutions like this one. With
respect to transatlantic relations especially,
I know of no organization doing more to
promote the values and virtues of liberal
democracy”
“ It is with great pleasure and fondness that I recall my
participation at an Institute summer seminar a few years
ago. The Institute assembled a remarkable group of intellectuals from many nations, and provided an excellent
setting in which to discuss common topics of great and
interest and importance to the well being of the West. The
Institute managed the event with great efficiency and
cordiality. I commend the Institute and its director, Joao
Carlos Espada, for launching a seminar that is now widely considered to be one of the major intellectual events of
the year and that has done so much to help people get to
know and enjoy the country of Portugal. ”

for Political Studies
is a beacon of light.
There, political
argument and thought are alive and well.
That’s why it’s always stimulating to visit
the Institute, either in person or through its

“ The summer courses by the
Institute of Political Studies are
undoubtedly one of the best international gatherings in which
students and professionals can
thoroughly address the most
relevant issues on the future of Europe, the future of the
transatlantic relations and the worldwide stability. These
annual meetings are the result of Professor Joao Carlos
Espada’s commendable effort to run these courses with
intellectual neutrality but deep moral involvement.”

to give a lecture (on Hobbes, international

world order); this was followed by
questions, and a discussion over dinner. I was
extremely impressed by the quality of the questions and debate, which came from a range of
people with different political views and academic interests - and, I should add, came also in
perfect, fluent English. I formed the impression
that this Institute is a ‘centre of excellence’ in
both political philosophy and political science,
of a kind that is rare in continental Europe..”

Family and Public Policy
A thoughtful presentation of the debate on the individual and social consequences
of the erosion of the family in contemporary societies. Introducing the north-American case study, where family structure and the consequences of welfare policies
have been studied for longer and more widely debated, the authors approach the
Portuguese reality, aware that very similar situations with those of the USA are occurring in Portugal, where research on this theme is still embryonic. This research
results from the commitment of the Christian Entrepreneurs Association to foster
investigation on fundamental themes for the development of Portuguese society and finding new ways
of civic intervention. Sponsored by the Christian Entrepreneurs Association of Portugal (ACEGE).

The Democractic Invention
In a lecture series that took place both in Portugal and in the United States, thirteen leading
scholars and world leaders reflect upon the significance of democracy as a system of government and its consequences both within individual countries and internationally. The
book is organized into four parts: “The Democratic Prospect” offers broad-ranging global
assessments of the recent history and the future prospects of democracy. “Transitions to
Democracy” focuses on three specific cases of democratic transition: United States, Portugal and Central Europe. “Beyond and Below the Nation” deals with democracy at different levels. “Religion,
Morality, and Belief” examines perennial problems that confront all democratic societies.

The Liberal Tradition in Focus - Problems and New Perspectives
An introduction to the debate whether contemporary academic liberalism, as embodied in the works of John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin, among others, continues the tradition of classical liberalism, namely that of Locke , the Scottish Enlightenment, and the
American Revolution. This research explores the tradition of liberty, the problems it has
addressed and the different solutions it has proposed. It took place at the 6th Arrabida
Course in Political Theory held in 1998, bringing to Portugal distinguished scholars and
encouraging them to interact with the young local community of political theorists,
developing a cosmopolitan tradition of political studies. Sponsored by FCT

On Wealth and Poverty
A study into how economic growth definitely contributes to the improvement of the opportunities of most people, including the most poor. The richest countries have also been
those in which the middle class grew most, therefore lowering the index of inequality
and, raising decisively the quality of live of everyone, including the poorest. Wealth is finally not a fixed stock, but a variable flow. For that reason, the key to fight poverty doesn’t
reside mostly in the redistribution of the existent resources, but in making the economic
flow grow. Sponsored by the Christian Entrepreneurs Association (ACEGE).

Freedom and Security:
Defeating Terrorism through the War of Ideas
This research seeks to devise guidelines which may be useful within an antiterrorist
strategy that privileges ideas as its main weapon - how security measures may not
compromise freedom and the principles of a democratic liberal state, and how important is a worldwide coalition against terrorism, covering the vast community of Portuguese speaking countries in four continents.

Pluralism Without Relativism:
Remembering Sir Isaiah Berlin
The 1999 Arrabida Course was devoted to the legacy of one of the most influential
thinkers of the last half century, Sir Isaiah Berlin, in its different dimensions: the critique
of historic determinism, the analysis of the Enlightenment and the Romantic reaction
against it, the reflection on the two concepts of liberty between liberalism and totalitarianism, the concept of pluralism and its (often overlooked) contrast with relativism.
Remembering and discussing Sir Isaiah’s intellectual legacy, one is remembering and
discussing the political, moral and philosophical foundations of western democracies, as welll as the main central conflict which has oppposed them to totalitarianism throughtout the 20th century. .Sponsored by FCT

INSTITUTO DE ESTUDOS POLÍTICOS
ounded in 2002 at the Institute for Political Studies of the Catholic University of
Portugal, the Luso-Forum for Democracy
(LFD) seeks to promote a network of individuals and civic organizations committed to the
study and promotion of democratic ideals in Portuguese speaking countries – Portugal, Cabo Verde,
Guiné Bissau, São Tomé e Principe, Angola, Mozambique, East-Timor, Macau and Brazil. Luso-Forum for
Democracy is an independent and non-partisan
network, working in direct articulation with the
World Movement for Democracy (WMD), settled in
Washington DC. As such, it establishes as its declaration of principles the “Founding Statement” of the
World Movement for Democracy. Professor João
Carlos Espada has been associated with the WMD
since its own foundation and is at this moment a
member of the “Steering Committee” of the WMD.
We aim at consolidating a partnership of trust and
mutual respect among individuals and groups
that belong to the Portuguese speaking countries
that believe in shared democratic values, therefore
contributing to the securing of civil societies and
promotion of democracy.
We seek:
> To listen to groups and individuals of Portuguese speaking countries interested in strengthening
civil society and promoting democracy.
> To keep a website with information on initiatives
related to the promotion of democracy in Portuguese speaking countries. This website should
include a database of individuals and groups that
work to promote democracy, publications, and
other relevant material.
Declaration of Principles
“...It is now time for democrats around the
world to develop new ways of cooperation
and promotion in the development of
democracy. This cooperation is necessary to
strengthen democracy where it is weak, to
reformulate and reinforce democracy where
it already exists, and to give incentive to
pro-democratic groups in countries where
they have not yet started their processes of
transition to democracy.”
> Paul Courtenay, Vice President, International
Churchill Society - United Kingdom
In October 6, 2003, on the closing dinner of the

“At the moment in which the Institute for
Political Studies of the Catholic University of
Portugal celebrates its tenth anniversary, I
would like to greet the determination, if not
even the audacity, with which its administration and its multiple collaborators were able
to rise and, troughout several years, reinvent
a unique space of political-philosophical
reflection in Portugal. It is with some incredulity, I admit, that I suddenly became aware
of the years passed since the time I entered
its first course, a course with the energy and
genuine enthusiasm in the exchange of ideas about a subject that, in our country, was
then giving its first steps. The contact that I
established there with scholars from different
theoretical-methodological approaches was
essential for my decision to apply to a PhD
Program in Cambridge, where today I’m offered the privilege to explore a vocation that I
may say I have discovered while a student of
the Institute for Political Studies. So, and for
the solid work meanwhile completed with
many other students, I express here all my
recognition.”

“In scarce ten years the IEP became and
extraordinary school, of an international
level and prestige. A school of Anglo-Saxon
tradition, inspired by the spirit of the best
universities in the world, with which it
has created, in fact, excellent programs of
cooperation. I say school and not institute,
since the IEP was able to create a character,
a culture and a unique ethos, that have
grown of the serenity of the project, its leadership, the quality of the faculty, the relevance of the topics of study, the investment
in the advance education of the students, of
the diversity of the promoted activities and
the strong involvement of the community.
A School, plural and enterprising, caretaker
of the ideals of Liberty. A School that knows
how to conciliate tradition and modernity
and that has the world as a reference. The
IEP represents, therefore, a contribute and
a hope for the indispensable renewal of
political ideas and culture in Portugal. The
renowned success of the IEP shows that
there is a market in Portugal for academic
initiatives of excellence. ”

“I arrived at IEP after a long process of decision about my post graduate studies, and
the decision to follow political theory came
after having an MBA offer. This is to explain
that my concern wasn’t merely intellectual – it was also related with professional
opportunities.
Martim Avillez Figueiredo | Editor,

First, the success of the institute in maintaining a network of information on a
worldwide level allows its students and
associates into understand on their own
the best of what has been happening a bit
trough out the world, in real time.
Secondly, a program of studies in the
Institute is a program where the main
principles are discussed. This means that
the students are prepared to deal with new
problems and unexpected situations, an
indispensable quality to understand the
incidents of political life.
These are two characteristics without
which there cannot be a true liberal
education and without which no one can
feel prepared to sail in a world where the
frontiers mean less ”

And I never imagined, I must confess, that
the M.A. in political theory at IEP could had
the power of an MBA in what professional
opportunities are concerned. But it has. It
is a true oasis of teaching in Portugal, also
because I was one of the privileged with a

IEP was, in the last years, the most important decision that I made. Congratulations

was for me absolutely outstanding, both on
a personal level and on a professional one.
At once I was impressed by the quality of the
faculty and the founding group of students
(with many of whom I maintain heated and
regular political debates). But above all because I was impressed by the culture of excellence
and informality that, I learned to believe, are

qualities that can go hand-in-hand in the
academy and in the Portuguese society. It’s a
lesson for which I struggle, daily, to not forget.”

“Maybe it is in the most troubled times, of
contestation or change, that the place of
the University gains strength and imposes
itself, with serenity and lucidity, to the eyes
of the world.
It has always been like this with the Catholic University.
And if it is also the tradition that guides the
great institutions, the Institute for Political
Studies is, at one time, consequence, driving
force and keeper of that great tradition of
rigor, excellence and freedom.
We, the heirs, that live a time of questions, find
in that space of creative freedom the vital gift
of being able to build our own answers.”
José Arantes | Secretary of State to the
Prime Minister (2003-04-08 to 2004-07-17)
“The Institute for Political Studies provides
to its students an experience still rare in the
Portuguese academic environment, based
on a feeling of collegial community and in
an internationalist vision, present at once
in its genesis, fruit of the international academic experience of its founder, of many of
its scholars and even from some students.
For that, it’s a concern of IEP to develop that
vision, providing several opportunities of
internationalization to its community. Therefore, it’s not surprising, at least to those
who have studied there, that IEP represents
the very nature of academic debate: open,
global, objective. Congratulations to the IEP
community, its mentor and main inspirer,
Prof. João Carlos Espada, and the Catholic
University of Portugal, for the 10th anniversary of this prestigious Institute.”

“In one of his most well known essays,
“What is Liberal Education?”, Leo Strauss
argues that the main function of a university education is a dialogue with the great
books that the great minds left behind. The
best way to sum up the 10 years of work
of the Institute for Political Studies is to say
that that dialogue, where you listen a lot
and you also participate, is the reason of
the existence of this house.

João Pereira Coutinho | WRITER , Columnist, Expresso Newspaper, Lisbon
I concluded the curricular part with
great satisfaction, but never delivered the
dissertation. Nothing of this is owed to the
IEP and I have not given up, yet, the idea of
concluding a dignified text, not to obtain
some socio-professional benefit, but to honour the opportunity that was given to me
by the Catholic University and the constant
amiability of Prof. Ernâni Lopes.
The tenth anniversary of the Institute should
be celebrated with the inherent satisfaction
to a brilliant trajectory, inseparable of Prof.
João Carlos Espada who, with the professors
and collaborators, was able to develop and
fulfill an academic reference that is unquestionable and renowned internationally. I feel
honoured by writing these lines and, in a
way, by belonging to this “club”.
Alexandre Leitão | Diplomat
“The IEP’s M.A. and PhD. Programme, combining academic quality with a strategic
and pragmatic vision to the outer world
and critical attention to the new dynamics
of the world, gave me the essential tools to
pursue my professional career and to enrich
my knowledge in the fields of security and
defense.”
It is not surprising that it is an island of civility.”
> João Pereira Coutinho
Taken by the daily work, in such practical
fields such as water, residues, tourism and
transports, soon the classes at the Catholic
University, that had initially an utilitarian
end, became desired weekly moments of
mental evasion of a tormented routine of
great “little” problems.
