Um país a arder. Os incêndios florestais nos debates parlamentares do Estado Novo, 1935-1974
Abstrak
This article examines the political history of forest fires in Portugal during the 20th century. Taking as its starting point an analysis of parliamentary debates during the Estado Novo regime, this study analyses how, between the 1930s and 1970s, forest fires ceased to be a local problem and became a national emergency, successively debated in sessions of the National Assembly and the Corporate Chamber. Situated at the intersection of politics, science and economics, the article examines how the consolidation of afforestation as a state project, the transformations of the rural economy, and the affirmation of new technical and scientific perspectives on fire prevention and control contributed to shaping political discourse around forest fires.
