    Espaço urbano público e dinâmicas territoriais: Miradouro de Santa Catarina, Lisboa
    (2026) Cravinho, A.; Madeira da Silva, T.
    Nas últimas décadas, Lisboa tem sido objeto de profundas transformações físicas, funcionais, culturais e sociais, das quais emergem novas dinâmicas territoriais com impactos significativos no uso e na apropriação do espaço urbano público. A partir do caso de estudo do miradouro de Santa Catarina, este artigo analisa a forma como processos de gentrificação, mercadorização, privatização e turistificação se materializam neste espaço específico. O artigo procura compreender de que modo estas dinâmicas se expressam no espaço público, o papel das políticas de ordenamento e gestão urbana no centro histórico de Lisboa e os seus efeitos na acessibilidade, convivência e conflito. Conclui-se que estas transformações resultam, em grande medida, de políticas urbanas orientadas para a requalificação do tecido urbano consolidado, associadas à valorização imobiliária e à intensificação da atividade turística. O miradouro de Santa Catarina evidencia, assim, a crescente integração dos espaços públicos em lógicas de mercado e de controlo, bem como em processos de privatização informal, colocando em causa a sua função social enquanto espaços abertos, inclusivos e plurais, afirmando-se como um observatório privilegiado das dinâmicas territoriais contemporâneas no centro histórico de Lisboa.

    Constructing resistance: Socially engaged architecture and civic activism in Croatia
    (2026) Dragovic, S.
    This article traces the emergence of socially engaged architectural practices in Croatia within wider civic mobilizations against investor-driven urbanism and contested spatial governance. It examines how architects, acting as civic experts, navigated post-socialist urban transformations by combining public critique, knowledge production, and institution-oriented engagement. Situating these practices within broader civil society, the article identifies three phases: early experimentation within the independent cultural scene, politicization of space through public protest and coalition-building, and recent efforts toward institutional reform and participatory governance. Conceptually, it formalizes architecture as civic praxis as a public-oriented configuration of expertise operating through three mechanisms: hybrid roles (pedagogy, organizing), knowledge infrastructures (civic tools deepening public understanding of spatial politics), and institutional repertoires (interventions translating civic claims into procedural change). The Croatian case widens what counts as civil society in CEE by showing how architecture “dirtied by many hands” can help organize communities, circulate usable knowledge, and influence decision-making.

    Transformation of human resources management practices in Russia after foreign business exodus
    (2026-07-14) Chibisova, Maiia; Duarte, Henrique Manuel Caetano
    After the Russia-Ukraine conflict started in February 2022, the Russian market abruptly experienced severe economic sanctions and massive exodus of foreign business, that led to sale of global corporations’ assets to domestic firms. Such a rapid and large-scale change could hardly have passed without consequences for HRM, as sold multinational enterprises (MNEs) lost their global governance systems and standards that previously shaped HR practices. In this vacuum, local cultural-institutional norms were likely to reassert themselves, altering how organizations manage people and make decisions. The aim of this study is to identify key patterns in HRM transformation that might have happened following this transition, aiming to analyze how institutions and the external environment shape HR policies during significant political, economic, socio-cultural and regulatory shifts within country. The study reveals not only what change, but why certain practices survive, transform or disappear when global and local institutional forces collide.
