Resumo
Num momento de grande incerteza face ao futuro, quando os recursos financeiros são cada vez mais escassos e muito se fala sobre a necessidade de reformas da administração num país que continua a apresentar profundas desigualdades entre o litoral e o interior, importa abordar, em termos científicos, novas propostas para o desenvolvimento dos territórios e das populações que os constituem.
A cooperação intermunicipal, apesar de não se constituir como uma descoberta recente, assume – ou pode vir a assumir – um papel inovador no seio do trabalho dos municípios, embora não se perfilando como uma estrutura para os substituir, mas sim como um elemento que pode responder a desafios mais exigentes no seio das regiões.
O presente estudo pretende conhecer o desenvolvimento da cooperação intermunicipal no Norte Alentejano e também abrir perspetivas no trabalho de parceria para responder às expetativas do presente e do futuro no âmbito da intervenção (inter)municipal.
Num território que apresenta diversos problemas, designadamente, o envelhecimento da população, o êxodo da população jovem, a baixa densidade populacional e uma forte debilidade económica, as autarquias locais assumem uma parte muito significativa do investimento na região. Porém, esse investimento exige uma atuação articulada e concertada, para que os eleitos do poder local possam responder aos desafios locais e globais.
Esta Dissertação tenta abrir possibilidades de novos modelos de envolvimento dos diversos agentes locais na cooperação entre si.
At a time of great uncertainty about the future, when financial resources are increasingly scarce and everyone speaks about the necessity of reforms of the administration in a country which still presents deep inequalities between the coast and inland, it matters to treat, in scientific terms, new proposals for the development of the territories and their populations. The inter-municipal cooperation, in spite of not being a recent discovery, takes -or it can assume – an innovative role within the work of the municipalities, not to become a structure to replace them, but as an element which can answer to more demanding challenges within the regions. The present study aims to know the development of inter-municipal cooperation in North Alentejo and also to open perspectives on working in partnership to answer to the perspectives of the present and of the future within the (inter)municipal intervention. In a territory that presents several problems, such as, aging population, exodus of the young population, low population density, a strong economic weakness, local authorities take a very significant part in the investment in the region. However, this investment requires a coordinated and concerted action, so that the local authorities can answer to local and global challenges. This Thesis tries to open the possibilities of new models of relationship of the several local agents in cooperation among themselves.
