Professors from the School of Economics, Management and Political Science at the University of Minho (EEG) have been making headlines in the national media with specialised analyses of the international political scene. On the US inauguration, Isabel Estrada Carvalhais and Sandra Fernandes' contributions demonstrate the impact of EEG's academic knowledge beyond university borders.
Professor Isabel Estrada Carvalhais, who specialises in Political Science, took part in Porto Canal's afternoon news programme, offering a critical analysis of Donald Trump's inauguration speech. In her intervention, she pointed out that the speech was close to a confrontational narrative, emphasising the recovery of American sovereignty and characterising it as a ‘war speech’.
On the same subject, Professor Sandra Fernandes, Director of the CICP and a specialist in International Relations, was interviewed on RTP3, where she analysed Trump's political comeback. She underlined Trump's strategic preparation and characterised his movement as part of a ‘reactionary international axis’ that defies scientific evidence.
These media interventions reinforce EEG's commitment to promoting rigorous and contextualised academic analysis of contemporary political events, contributing significantly to informed public debate.
