    Corruption and poverty
    (ISG, 2011) Santos, Rui Teixeira
    The quantitative methods have been questioned, mostly because at certain points they served as tools to identify the poorest countries as being the most corrupt and the most developed one, such as Germany, as being the least corrupt. In the end, the criticism to the econometric models of the German school and, specially, the example of International Transparency turned out to become an ideological fight between two suspicious worlds. This paper wil enable to conclude that, in reality, corruption creates a death weight on the Economy, ie, it decreases the commerce acts and thus ends up by contributing to the countries’ impoverishment. I suppor the idea that corruption really contributes to the reduction of the economies’ potential and it is therefore an impoverishment factor of the States.

    Uma proposta para a Paz passa pelo alargamento da UE : terá a Europa coragem para levar a União até á África Ocidental?
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2004) Santos, Rui Teixeira; Faculdade de Ciências Sociais, Educação e Administração
    In the same manner that the struggle of classes, born in the industrial revolution in the XVII and XVIII century, was neither a confrontation nor an arrangement between the working class and the bourgeois. Today, in globalization, the cultural conflicts are not solved through confrontation or from the dialogue between civilizations. The broadening of the European Union is much more urgent than its deepening. It many imply an European Union at various velocities, but it may be the answer to terrorism. There must be courage to take the European borders beyond Turkey and even beyond the Middle East and Magreb. It is time to think of broadening it to include Western Africa, where Al Qaeda is moving in.
