TEPSA is happy to present its new policy brief “Portugal and the 2021 Council Presidency: An Unambitious Programme?”, written by Reinaldo Saraiva Hermenegildo and Alice Cunha, PhD Researchers at the Portuguese Institute of International Relations (IPRI), Portugal. 

Abstract
Portugal will hold, for the fourth time, the Council’s rotating Presidency, in a context of social and economic crisis, but also at the beginning of a renewed green and digital EU agenda. This TEPSA Brief explains the priorities of the incoming Presidency and its limitations, also comparing it to past Portuguese Presidencies.
