Resumen
MONTEIRO, Susana. Recent changes in territorial governance processes in Portugal. Finisterra [online]. 2009, n.88, pp.165-173. ISSN 0430-5027.
The current context in which nation-states find themselves is clearly different from that in which they were founded and consolidated. This fact has given rise to the need to rethink both their modus operandi and their role in society and the economy. Against this new, fragmented and complex social setting, the Urban Policy Polis XXI has evolved and become increasingly relevant and useful for the study of new models of urban governance and territorial development. This note seeks to: 1) sum up a set of conceptual considerations with regard to the challenges in terms of territorial governance that are faced by Western nationstates in general and Portugal in particular; 2) discuss the Urban Policy Polis XXI against this new and evolving background; and 3) propose a framework for evaluating the performance of the inter-organizational partnerships promoted within the context of the Urban Policy Polis XXI as a new territorial governance mechanism.
Palabras clave : Urban Policy Polis XXI; urban governance; inter-organizational collaboration; performance evaluation methodologies.
