About the book:
Bioinvasions is a current top research subject for natural sciences, social sciences and humanities and a major concern for conservationists, land managers and planners. In the last decades, new findings, perspectives and practices have revealed the multifaceted challenges of preventing new introductions and dealing with those invasive species that harm natural ecosystems, economy and human welfare.
This book brings together environmental historians and natural scientists to share their studies and experiences on the human dimensions of biological invasions from the ancient past to the current challenges. The collection of papers focuses on the Mediterranean region and deals with aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems on the mainland and islands, ranging from marine and freshwater environments to coastal marshlands and forests. A wide diversity of animals and plants are featured, from marine fishes to marine and freshwater crustaceans, invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, birds and mammals, to grasses, shrubs and trees. This book is a contribution to the scientific debate on how to deal with the historical dimensions of biological invasions, fostering dialogue between cultural and ecological explanations of environmental change, to inform environmental policy and management.
It has been organized in three sections: the first is the editors’ introduction, in which they review the existing literature and highlight relevant concepts and ideas; the second is about alien species in the Mediterranean region; the third includes cases from other Mediterranean-type regions.

Queen Elizabeth II: Life, Times, Legacies
The reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022) was the longest so far in the history of the British monarchy. Partly due, without doubt, to its exceptional duration, her seventy-year reign witnessed momentous events with far-reaching consequences, such as the end of the Empire; the decline of Britain on the international political scene; the ‘troubles’ and unrest within the British Isles and the prospect of a DisUnited Kingdom; the emergence and consolidation of popular and youth cultures and the relationship between the Crown and the media, to name but a few. The period is also of particular interest for Anglo-Portuguese Studies, as it raises issues such as the political relations between the two oldest allies during the Salazar/Caetano regime, the official visits, the impact of World War II, decolonisation, and the Revolution of the 25th April 1974, amongst others.

Ditaduras, Colonialismos e Migrações no Espaço Atlântico
XIV Congresso Internacional da Rede de Estudos dos Fascismos, Autoritarismos, Totalitarismos e Transições para a Democracia (REFAT)
Subordinado ao tema Ditaduras, Colonialismos e Migrações no Espaço Atlântico, o XIV Congresso da REFAT tem em vista uma problematização da dimensão colonial da história dos regimes totalitários e autoritários, ao mesmo tempo que pretende colocar em perspectiva a forma como esses mesmos regimes geriram significativos e intensos fluxos migratórios entre diferentes regiões do Espaço Atlântico na Época Contemporânea. Procurar-se-á assim perceber, numa perspectiva abrangente e comparativa, o lugar do colonialismo na estruturação dos regimes totalitários e autoritários europeus e sul-americanos, considerando não só situações formais de dominação colonial e de expansão imperial, como as que aconteciam nos casos de Itália, de Espanha e de Portugal, mas também a existência de formas de colonialismo interno, como as que podiam ser identificadas à época no Brasil e noutras áreas do Espaço Atlântico, tendo neste caso particularmente em conta quer a persistência de aspectos da matriz económica, social e política constituída no período colonial, quer a situação de subalternidade a que estavam votadas as comunidades indígenas e outros estratos da população. Em estreita ligação ao fenómeno colonial, importa também perceber as formas como os regimes ditatoriais promoveram e governaram os diversos fluxos migratórios que cruzaram o Espaço Atlântico e que colocaram em contacto diferentes países e regiões da Europa, da África e da América do Sul. O objectivo é compreender numa óptica comparada e transnacional as políticas migratórias, os mecanismos de controlo, de integração, de repressão e de expulsão de migrantes, postos em prática pelos regimes ditatoriais. Dever-se-á ter em consideração não só fenómenos de migração económica, como nos casos dos fluxos dirigidos ao continente sul-americano, ou os ocorridos no quadro de políticas de ocupação e de desenvolvimento dos territórios coloniais em África, mas também situações de migração política e que envolveram diferentes grupos de refugiados – por exemplo, os judeus e os gibraltinos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial – e de exilados políticos – por exemplo, a instalação e respectiva acção de sectores significativos da oposição portuguesa ao salazarismo no Brasil. Enfim, cabem ainda no âmbito desta temática outras questões de ordem geoestratégica e de domínio político, militar e económico do Espaço Atlântico, no quadro das políticas atlânticas delineadas pelos diferentes regimes ditatoriais.
