“…For many years the Portuguese public showed little awareness of their role regarding environmental protection, which has been attributed to a traditional lack of public engagement (Valente & Ferreira, 2014). Data suggest that the Portuguese have systematically shown low levels of disposition to actively engage in collective action (Cabral, 2000). However, simplistic readings should be avoided.…”

“…Although concern over the environment has been slightly lower in Portugal than in the average of EU countries, that survey showed that 97% of Portuguese respondents consider that protecting the environment is important to them personally, slightly above the EU average (95%) (EC, 2014A). Since individuals with higher levels of education have been found to be more willing to engage in forms of collective action (Cabral, 2000;Nave & Fonseca, 2004), a possible factor contributing to explain these recent data may be the increasing levels of education among the population. Still, data from the International Social Survey Program conducted in 2010 (Guerra, Schmidt, & Valente, 2017) showed that in Portugal low levels of knowledge on environmental issues coexist with very high levels of concern.…”

In Portugal, global politics tend to dominate climate change communication. Policy-oriented news stories prevail, being very much influenced by international events, dynamics, and actors, especially European ones, whereas national politicians and officials tend to be given less space. Climate change is thus mainly (re)presented as a global issue, distant from local realities, in spite of the vulnerabilities that the country faces. National policy makers tend to adopt a technocratic discourse that comes across as “rational” and fairly optimistic, with little contestation by environmental groups or others. A “green economy” discourse has prevailed in the media, with investment on renewable energy being depicted as the way to both stimulating the economy and addressing climate change. Scientific knowledge tends to be represented as consensual and national scientists tend to avoid dramatization. Although public opinion surveys have shown that the population considers climate change a serious problem and skepticism regarding its anthropogenic causes is low, surveys have also revealed high levels of ignorance and self-evaluated lack of information. In spite of a traditionally weak environmental movement and lack of public engagement, the population has shown a consistent sense of collective responsibility to tackle climate change. The economic and financial crisis up until the mid-2010s considerably affected the already fragile media system and turned political and public attention to economy-related topics. News coverage of climate change, in all its complexity, has been constrained by a lack of specialized reporters and increased dependency on the pro-activity of news sources.

“…This seems to be less of a problem in certain single-case studies where welfare attitudes have been found to broadly agree with the respective welfare type. For instance, available data on Portuguese social attitudes dating back to the 1990s shows, alongside support for complementary, contributory schemes, even more significant popular support for universalistic welfare provision (Cabral 1997(Cabral , 2000. In sum, there are strong reasons, both attitudinal and historical-institutional, for one to expect the majority of the Portuguese population to prefer a universal welfare state.…”

“…Em outras palavras, segundo a abordagem descrita, seria lícito concluir, como afirma Cabral (2000), que, hoje, o exercício dos direitos de cidadania tenderia a se manifestar de forma mais expressiva por meio da "geometria variável" da automobilização do que pelo associativismo clássico, vinculado, fundamentalmente, às formas convencionais de capital social.…”

A relação entre as esferas econômica e cultural nas ciências sociais permite uma miríade de abordagens teóricas. Recentemente, vá-rios são os cientistas sociais que vêm apontando mudanças nas atitudes e nos valores que orientavam o comportamento político relacionado à cidadania convencional (Marshall, 1967) nas sociedades mais avançadas do capitalismo como consequência das mudanças estruturais iniciadas na segunda metade da década de 1970, com a reestruturação produtiva e a globalização econômica (ver, entre outros, Bauman, 1999;Boschi, 2004;Castel, 1998;Harvey, 1993; Putnam, 2000;Turner, 1990). Os efeitos de tais mudanças estariam gerando a emergência de comportamentos políticos orientados por novos valores, crenças e disposições sociais, abarcando tanto elementos considerados tradicionalmente conservadores -adesão ao liberalismo econômico e consequente diminuição da função reguladora do Estado -quanto valores considerados progressistas -defesa de direitos socioculturais difusos (meio ambiente, igualdade de gênero, liberdade de orientação sexual etc.) e novas formas de participação social e política (participação em redes, apoio a organizações não governamentais (ONGs), boicote a produtos nocivos ao meio ambiente, denúncias de empresas que utilizam mão de obra infantil, campanhas humanitárias etc.).Reconhecendo a complexidade desse debate, a proposta deste artigo é discutir aquilo que vem sendo denominado pela literatura de nova
