In Portugal’s low-density areas, the 39 border municipalities with Spain are often overlooked. For me, they will be a true research treasure: peripheries that may become central to rethinking territorial cohesion.

[1/3] Synthèse - Les régions ultrapériphériques (RUP) comme la Réunion, la Guyane ou les Açores font partie de l’UE mais bénéficient d’un statut spécial inscrit à l’article 349 du TFUE, en raison de leur éloignement, insularité, climat ou dépendance économique. #geography #RUP #territorialcohesion

🌍 Border Territories & Cohesion 🌍

Border regions face low population, economic disarticulation & weak public services. In my PhD at @UAveiro, I'm studying how to strengthen their cohesion & competitiveness. How can we revitalize them? Let’s talk! 👇 #PublicPolicy #TerritorialCohesion #BorderRegions

At the 32nd APDR Congress I voiced concerns as a geographer and citizen. Recent words on wildfires and a Público piece on populism highlight the urgency of rethinking Portugal’s low-density territories, like border regions. Research must help switch on new lights. #TerritorialCohesion #BorderRegions

[3/3] Ce cadre juridique s’est construit progressivement, depuis le traité de Rome (1957) jusqu’à l’article 349 actuel. La CJUE a renforcé son effet en 2015 (arrêt Mayotte) permettant d’adapter l’ensemble du droit de l’UE aux réalités de ces territoires éloignés. #geography #RUP #territorialcohesion

[2/3] Ce statut permet des dérogations au droit commun de l’UE (TVA, douanes, aides d’État…). Il vise à compenser les contraintes structurelles des RUP pour favoriser leur développement économique et social tout en restant pleinement dans le marché européen. #geography #RUP #territorialcohesion

At Fórum de Políticas Públicas 2025, Renato Miguel do Carmo brilliantly addressed socio-territorial inequalities and the persistence of dualisms in Portugal. The emergence of a “third spatiality” calls for smarter, fairer public action.
