- Construtivismo tático e o alargamento da União Europeia: a Turquia como parceira estratégica e desafio normativo nos domínios das migrações e da energiaPublication . Matos, AndréO presente artigo analisa as relações entre a União Europeia e a Turquia no contexto da política de alargamento, usando como estudos de caso os domínios da migração e da energia. A investigação procurou explorar como as dinâmicas normativas entre a UE e a Turquia se desenvolvem em contextos de cooperação assimétrica, recorre-se ao enquadramento teórico do construtivismo tático para compreender de que forma as normas são mobilizadas estrategicamente. Metodologicamente, aplicou-se um estudo comparativo baseado em lógica de most-different systems design, sustentado por fontes institucionais e académicas. A análise mostrou que, tanto na migração como na energia, a UE adota uma postura seletiva e pragmática face aos seus compromissos normativos, enquanto a Turquia instrumentaliza a sua posição geopolítica para obter benefícios estratégicos. O estudo evidenciou as tensões entre normatividade e pragmatismo, contribuindo para o debate sobre a coerência externa da UE, em particular no quadro da sua política de alargamento.
- Tactical constructivism and the enlargement of the European Union: Türkiye as a strategic partner and normative challenge in the fields of migration and energyPublication . Matos, AndréThis article analyses the relationship between the European Union and Türkiye in the context of Enlargement Policy, using migration and energy as case studies. The research sought to explore how normative dynamics between the European Union and Türkiye develop in contexts of asymmetric cooperation, using the theoretical framework of tactical constructivism to understand how norms are strategically mobilised. Methodologically, a comparative study was applied based on a most-different systems design logic. The analysis showed that, in both migration and energy, the Union adopts a selective and pragmatic stance towards its normative commitments, while Türkiye instrumentalises its geopolitical position to obtain strategic benefits. The study highlighted the tensions between normativity and pragmatism, contributing to the debate on the external coherence of the European Union, particularly in the context of its Policy on Enlargement.
- Rethinking the geopolitical shifts and security in the New MillenniumPublication . Matos, André; Garrido, RuiThis editorial introduces the Special Issue "Geopolitics and International Security in the 21st Century" and frames it against the erosion of the post–Cold War assumptions that once sustained optimism about global governance. It argues that two pillars of the 1990s (the expectation that democratisation would reduce conflict and the belief that deepening economic interdependence would pacify international relations) have been increasingly undermined by renewed geopolitical rivalry, an accelerating wave of autocratisation, and the strategic instrumentalisation of rules and institutions. The editorial further highlights how selective moral and political prioritisation of human life and dignity across contemporary crises has intensified pressures on international normative systems, weakened legitimacy, and contributed to patterns of diplomatic non-alignment, consequently amplifying global fragmentation. Against this background, the Special Issue’s contributions collectively address an overarching question: how can law and institutions remain credible and effective in a security environment shaped by resource competition, technological militarisation, disinformation, populist foreign policy, contested borders, and renewed debates on accountability for aggression and wartime harms? The editorial closes by stressing the need to restore principled coherence, human security, and trust in multilateral cooperation as prerequisites for confronting the systemic risks that threaten global stability and planetary survival.
