Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decentre. I'm your host, as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Patricia Silva. She is an assistant professor at the University of Aveiro and a researcher at the Governance, Competitiveness and Public Policies Research Center of the University of Alveiro. And today we're going to talk about a book she is the editor of, together with Pedro Magalhens and Nuno Monteiro, that is Portugal in the 21st century.

So Dr. Patricia, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to have you one. Thank you for having me here today. So I mean this is a a very interesting book.

I I mean in my particular case it's even more interesting because I am also Portuguese. As you are. So, but what are the goals of this book? Why write a book about Portugal in the 21st century? Well, uh, so so the idea for this um edited book came from a series of conversations that Nuno Monteiro had with the Lusso American Development Foundation.
