Resumo: This paper is a summary of some recent contributions to the study of Portuguese international economic relations. It presents a general overview of the main features of the evolution of protection, foreign trade and economic growth in Portugal between the early 19th century and the late 20th century. The analysis focuses on some puzzling aspects of that evolution before the Second World War and on the debate between the import substitution and export-led growth strategies of the Portuguese development policy after the Second World War. It concludes that, as a rule, protectionist measures hindered economic growth, and free-trade measures fostered economic growth. Moreover, important inefficiencies caused by protectionism, which helped to preserve traditional patterns of specialization and to delay modernization, are identified both before and after the Second World War.

Il présente une vision générale des aspects principaux de l'évolution de la protection, du commerce extérieur et de la croissance économique au Portugal entre le début du XIXe siècle et la fin du XXe siècle. L'analyse se porte surtout sur quelques aspects surprenants de l'évolution avant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et sur le débat entre les stratégies de la politique de développement de substitution d'importations et de la croissance menée par les exportations au Portugal après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Elle conclue que, règle générale, les mesures protectionistes ont gêné la croissance économique et les mesures libre-échangistes ont promu la croissance économique. En plus, des inefficiences importantes provoquées par la protéction, qui a aidé à préserver des standards traditionels de spécialisation et à ajourner la modernisation, sont identifiées tant avant qu'après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.Accademia di ScienzeRepositório da Universidade de LisboaFontoura, Maria PaulaValério, Nuno2022-11-22T16:30:29Z20002000-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/26166engFontoura, Maria Paula, and Nuno Valério.
