"População e Sociedade" no. 40
This issue aims to present the different aspects of the transnational dynamics of relations between Portugal and Galicia, in the past and present, at a time when it is necessary to promote a joint reflection on the basis of relationships between these communities (Portuguese and Galician) which, due to the proximity of their political, economic and cultural characteristics and geographic contiguity, are in a position to reinforce cooperation in crucial sectors for their consolidated and reciprocal development. In fact, “the brotherhood that exists between Galicia and Portugal is a deeply rooted popular idea that has been used and proclaimed by writers and poets” (Ramon Villares) and politically consecrated by the European Union, calling it the Euro-Region Galicia-North of Portugal , recognizing that it is a territory that tends to converge or, at least, to admit a mutual perspective.
The Varia section presents four articles. One on maritime law to be respected on board ships; another about the environmental disaster that led to the formation of a migratory network (the case of Longarone and Urussanga); one that analyzes food and nutritional security policies in the countries of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries; and, finally, a work on journalism in the Macaronesia (Canaries, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde) in Iberian news systems.
