New Democratic Party

  • 1 Democratic Party

    Одна из двух ведущих политических партий в США. Ее история берет начало в 20-30х гг. XIX в. со времен деятельности основанной Т. Джефферсоном [ Jefferson, Thomas] Демократической республиканской партии [ Democratic-Republican Party] и Демократической партии президента Э. Джексона [ Jackson, Andrew]. Организационно оформилась в 1828, унаследовав политику антифедералистов [ Antifederalists], а затем демократических республиканцев (1800-1828). В первой половине XX в. представляла интересы плантаторов Юга и части торгово-финансовых кругов. Пережила глубокий кризис в период Гражданской войны [ Civil War] и в период Реконструкции Юга [ Reconstruction]. В ее современном виде была возрождена как партия социальных реформ и государственного регулирования в период "Нового курса" [ New Deal] президента Ф. Д. Рузвельта [ Roosevelt, Franklin Delano (FDR)]. В стране были президенты-демократы в 1829-41, 1845-49, 1853-61, 1885-89, 1891-97, 1913-21, 1933-53, 1961-69, 1977-81, 1993-96. Традиционно основная опора партии - штат Нью-Йорк и южные штаты, а также профсоюзное движение, группы меньшинств и либеральная интеллигенция. Графический символ партии - осел [ Donkey, the]

  • 2 Christian Democratic Party

       Established originally as the Centro Democático e Social (CDS) in May 1974, following the fall of the Estado Novo, the CDS was supported by conservatives inspired by Christian humanism and Catholic social doctrines. In the first democratic elections after the Revolution of 25 April 1974, which were held on 25 April 1975, the CDS won only a disappointing 7.6 percent of the vote for the Constituent Assembly. In the following general elections for the Assembly of the Republic, in April 1976, however, the party more than doubled its votes to 16 percent and surpassed the number of votes for the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP). In 1979-80, the Christian Democrats joined the Social Democratic Party (PSD) in a coalition called the Aliança Democrática (Democratic Alliance), a grouping that defeated the Socialist Party (PS) in the succeeding elections. The Christian Democrats remained in the background as the principal party rivals for power were the PS and the PSD.
       In the 1990s, the CDS altered its name to the Partido Popular (PP) and featured new leaders such as party chief Paulo Portas. While the democratic Portuguese system had become virtually a two-party dominant system by the 1980s and 1990s, the PP would have opportunities, depending upon circumstances, to share power in another coalition with one of the two larger, major parties, the PS or PSD. Indeed, parliamentary election results in March 2002 gave the party just such an opportunity, as the PP won 14 percent of the vote, thus surpassing for the first time since the 1975 elections the PCP, which was reduced to 12 percent of the vote. The PP thus gained new influence as the PSD, which won the largest number of seats in this election, was obliged to share governance with the PP in order to have a working majority in the legislature.
       Various right-wing lobbies and interest groups influenced the PP. In early 2000, the PP proposed a law to the Assembly of the Republic whereby former colonists, now mainly resident in Portugal, who had lost property in Portugal's former colonies of Angola and Mozambique, would be compensated by Portugal for material losses during decolonization. The PP leadership argued that the manner in which the governments after the Revolution of 25 April 1974 administered the disputed, controversial decolonization process in these territories made the government responsible for compensating Portuguese citizens for such losses. The PS-dominated government of then prime minister, Antônio Guterres, argued, however, that independent governments of those former colonies were responsible for any compensation due. Thus, Guterres declined to accept the proposed legislation. This proposal by the PP and others like it followed upon other proposed laws such as Law 20, 19 June 1997, put before the Assembly of the Republic, which was passed under the aegis of the PS. This law pledged to compensate opposition militants (the survivors) who had opposed the Estado Novo and had spent years in exile, as well as in clandestine activities. Such compensations would come in the form of pensions and social security benefits. Given the strength of conservative constituencies and former settlers' lobbies, it is likely that the Christian Democrats will introduce more such proposed laws in future parliamentary sessions.

    NEW LABOUR Après dix-huit ans de gouvernement conservateur, les élections de mai 1997 propulsèrent les travaillistes au pouvoir avec une écrasante majorité. Convaincus par plusieurs défaites électorales de l'inéligibilité du parti travailliste traditionnel dans une Grande-Bretagne bouleversée par le thatchérisme, les nouveaux dirigeants décidèrent de réorganiser et de renommer le parti afin d'élargir leur électorat aux classes moyennes. Les "nouveaux travaillistes" établirent des liens étroits avec le patronat et promurent une "troisième voie" comme alternative à la traditionnelle idéologie de gauche du parti. Cependant, les fidèles du parti commencèrent très vite à souhaiter un retour aux valeurs traditionnelles de la gauche.

  • 6 New Mexico

    Штат на юго-западе США, в группе Горных штатов [ Mountain States]. Граничит с Мексикой на юге, штатами Аризона [ Arizona] на западе, Колорадо [ Colorado] на севере, Оклахома [ Oklahoma] на востоке, Техас [ Texas] на востоке и юго-востоке. Площадь 314,9 тыс. кв. км (пятый по размерам штат США). Столица г. Санта-Фе [ Santa Fe]. Крупные города: Альбукерке [ Albuquerque], Лас-Крусес [ Las Cruces], Розуэлл [Roswell], Фармингтон [Farmington] и Рио-Ранчо [Rio Rancho]. Население 1,8 млн. человек (2000). Поверхность преимущественно горная, через центральную часть проходят хребты Скалистых гор [ Rocky Mountains] (Сан-Хуан [ San Juan Mountains] и Сангре-де-Кристо [ Sangre de Cristo Range]), западную часть занимает плато Колорадо [ Colorado Plateau]. На востоке район Великих равнин [ Great Plains]; часть штата вдоль границы с Техасом лежит на известняковом плато Льяно-Эстакадо [ Llano Estacado]. Реки текут в глубоких ущельях; главные из них Рио-Гранде [ Rio Grande River] и ее приток Пекос [ Pecos River]. Континентальный засушливый климат. Индейцы жили на территории Нью-Мексико еще 20 тыс. лет назад; археологи нашли следы культур Фолсом [ Folsom Culture], Сандиа [ Sandia], Анасази [ Anasazi Culture]. Ко времени прихода испанцев здесь жили апачи [ Apache], команчи [ Comanche], навахо [ Navajo], пуэбло [ Pueblo]. В 1536 здесь прошла экспедиция А. Кабесы де Вака [Cabeza De Vaca, Alvar Nunez]. В 1539 сюда в поисках легендарной Сиболы [ Cibola; Seven Golden Cities of Cibola] пришли францисканцы. Первые поселения были основаны в 1598 (Сан-Хуан-Пуэбло [ San Juan Pueblo]) и в 1610 (Санта-Фе). Конкистадоры насаждали свою культуру часто жестокими методами, в 1680 здесь произошло крупное восстание пуэбло; столкновения с испанцами продолжались более десяти лет. В 1821 территория будущего штата вошла в состав нового мексиканского государства, возросли контакты местных жителей с американцами. В 1821 торговцами из Канзаса и Миссури была проложена тропа в г. Санта-Фе [ Santa Fe Trail]. В 1846 в ходе войны с Мексикой [ Mexican War] генерал С. Кирни [ Kearny, Stephen Watts] оккупировал Санта-Фе и получил территорию современного штата Нью-Мексико после переговоров с превосходящими силами мексиканской армии, убедив ее командование уйти с этих земель с миром. В 1850 была образована Территория Нью-Мексико [Territory of New Mexico], к которой в 1853 по сделке Гадсдена [ Gadsden Purchase] была добавлена полоса земли на юге. Окончательные границы будущего штата были определены в 1863, после образования Территории Аризона [Arizona Territory]. В начале Гражданской войны [ Civil War] большая часть Территории Нью-Мексико была захвачена конфедератами [ Confederate Army], но вскоре после их разгрома на перевале Глориета [Glorieta, Battle of, Glorieta Pass] в марте 1862 они ушли из нее. После войны в экономике возросло значение скотоводства, и территория стала ареной борьбы между скотоводами и овцеводами за пастбищные земли. После окончания строительства южной ветки трансконтинентальной железной дороги [ transcontinental railroad] (1881) от Канзас-Сити до Лос-Анджелеса усилились связи Нью-Мексико с другими штатами. В 1912 Нью-Мексико вступил в состав США, став 47 по счету штатом. С 1920-х возросла роль добывающей промышленности (нефть, природный газ - штат занимает первое место по их экспорту, - калийная соль, полудрагоценные камни). Около 1/3 территории штата находится в ведении федерального правительства. В период второй мировой войны штат стал важным полигоном для испытания новых видов оружия; 16 июля 1945 здесь был произведен первый ядерный взрыв. На юге Нью-Мексико расположен крупный испытательный ракетный полигон [ White Sands Missile Range]. В 1950 на северо-западе штата открыты месторождения урана. Важную роль играют научно-исследовательские лаборатории в Лос-Аламосе [ Los Alamos]; особенно интенсивным рост капиталовложений в этой области был в 1960-70-е. В сельском хозяйстве развита ирригация; начиная с 1911 ведутся интенсивные работы по строительству плотин и водохранилищ. Большое значение имеет туризм и сфера обслуживания. Штат гордится своим культурным наследием, являясь своего рода стыком трех культур - англо-американской, испано-мексиканской и индейской. В 1970-80-е происходил значительный прирост населения, в том числе за счет выходцев из стран Латинской Америки [ Hispanic Americans], прежде всего из соседней Мексики. С момента образования штата традиционной поддержкой населения пользуется Демократическая партия [ Democratic Party], хотя в 1950-е и в последнее время республиканцы усиливают свои позиции.

  • 9 Socialist Labor Party of North America

    ист
    Первая общенациональная (немногочисленная) ортодоксальная социалистическая партия. Основана при активном участии Ф. Зорге [ Sorge, Friedrich Adolph] в июле 1876 на основе Социалистической партии Нью-Йорка и его пригородов [ Socialist Party of New York and Vicinity] как Партия рабочего люда [Workingmen's Party], новое название получила в 1877. Пропагандировала идеи марксизма, но не смогла превратиться в массовую партию. В 1878-80 заключала непрочный союз с Партией гринбекеров [ Greenback-Labor Party]. В 1890-е ее возглавлял марксист Д. де Леон [ De Leon, Daniel]. С 1892 принимала участие в ряде президентских избирательных кампаний, ни разу не набрав больше 40 тыс. голосов. В 1900 часть ее членов во главе с М. Хилкуитом [ Hillquit, Morris] вошла в Социал-демократическую партию [ Social-Democratic Party] и содействовала созданию в 1901 Социалистической партии [ Socialist Party]

  • 11 Portuguese Communist Party

    (PCP)
       The Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) has evolved from its early anarcho-syndicalist roots at its formation in 1921. This evolution included the undisciplined years of the 1920s, during which bolshevization began and continued into the 1930s, then through the years of clandestine existence during the Estado Novo, the Stalinization of the 1940s, the "anarcho-liberal shift" of the 1950s, the emergence of Maoist and Trotskyist splinter groups of the 1960s, to legalization after the Revolution of 25 April 1974 as the strongest and oldest political party in Portugal. Documents from the Russian archives have shown that the PCP's history is not a purely "domestic" one. While the PCP was born on its own without Soviet assistance, once it joined the Communist International (CI), it lost a significant amount of autonomy as CI officials increasingly meddled in PCP internal politics by dictating policy, manipulating leadership elections, and often financing party activities.
       Early Portuguese communism was a mix of communist ideological strands accustomed to a spirited internal debate, a lively external debate with its rivals, and a loose organizational structure. The PCP, during its early years, was weak in grassroots membership and was basically a party of "notables." It was predominantly a male organization, with minuscule female participation. It was also primarily an urban party concentrated in Lisbon. The PCP membership declined from 3,000 in 1923 to only 40 in 1928.
       In 1929, the party was reorganized so that it could survive clandestinely. As its activity progressed in the 1930s, a long period of instability dominated its leadership organs as a result of repression, imprisonments, and disorganization. The CI continued to intervene in party affairs through the 1930s, until the PCP was expelled from the CI in 1938-39, apparently because of its conduct during police arrests.
       The years of 1939-41 were difficult ones for the party, not only because of increased domestic repression but also because of internal party splits provoked by the Nazi-Soviet pact and other foreign actions. From 1940 to 1941, two Communist parties struggled to attract the support of the CI and accused each other of "revisionism." The CI was disbanded in 1943, and the PCP was not accepted back into the international communist family until its recognition by the Cominform in 1947.
       The reorganization of 1940-41 finally put the PCP under the firm control of orthodox communists who viewed socialism from a Soviet perspective. Although Soviet support was denied the newly reorganized party at first, the new leaders continued its Stalinization. The enforcement of "democratic centralism" and insistence upon the "dictatorship of the proletariat" became entrenched. The 1940s brought increased growth, as the party reached its membership apex of the clandestine era with 1,200 members in 1943, approximately 4,800 in 1946, and 7,000 in 1947.
       The party fell on hard times in the 1950s. It developed a bad case of paranoia, which led to a witch hunt for infiltrators, informers, and spies in all ranks of the party. The lower membership figures who followed the united antifascist period were reduced further through expulsions of the "traitors." By 1951, the party had been reduced to only 1,000 members. It became a closed, sectarian, suspicious, and paranoiac organization, with diminished strength in almost every region, except in the Alentejo, where the party, through propaganda and ideology more than organizational strength, was able to mobilize strikes of landless peasants in the early 1950s.
       On 3 January 1960, Álvaro Cunhal and nine other political prisoners made a spectacular escape from the Peniche prison and fled the country. Soon after this escape, Cunhal was elected secretary-general and, with other top leaders, directed the PCP from exile. Trotskyite and Maoist fractions emerged within the party in the 1960s, strengthened by the ideological developments in the international communist movement, such as in China and Cuba. The PCP would not tolerate dissent or leftism and began purging the extreme left fractions.
       The PCP intensified its control of the labor movement after the more liberal syndical election regulations under Prime Minister Mar- cello Caetano allowed communists to run for leadership positions in the corporative unions. By 1973, there was general unrest in the labor movement due to deteriorating economic conditions brought on by the colonial wars, as well as by world economic pressures including the Arab oil boycott.
       After the Revolution of 25 April 1974, the PCP enjoyed a unique position: it was the only party to have survived the Estado Novo. It emerged from clandestinity as the best organized political party in Portugal with a leadership hardened by years in jail. Since then, despite the party's stubborn orthodoxy, it has consistently played an important role as a moderating force. As even the Socialist Party (PS) was swept up by the neoliberal tidal wave, albeit a more compassionate variant, increasingly the PCP has played a crucial role in ensuring that interests and perspectives of the traditional Left are aired.
       One of the most consistent planks of the PCP electoral platform has been opposition to every stage of European integration. The party has regularly resisted Portuguese membership in the European Economic Community (EEC) and, following membership beginning in 1986, the party has regularly resisted further integration through the European Union (EU). A major argument has been that EU membership would not resolve Portugal's chronic economic problems but would only increase its dependence on the world. Ever since, the PCP has argued that its opposition to membership was correct and that further involvement with the EU would only result in further economic dependence and a consequent loss of Portuguese national sovereignty. Further, the party maintained that as Portugal's ties with the EU increased, the vulnerable agrarian sector in Portugal would risk further losses.
       Changes in PCP leadership may or may not alter the party's electoral position and role in the political system. As younger generations forget the uniqueness of the party's resistance to the Estado Novo, public images of PCP leadership will change. As the image of Álvaro Cunhal and other historical communist leaders slowly recedes, and the stature of Carlos Carvalhas (general secretary since 1992) and other moderate leaders is enhanced, the party's survival and legitimacy have strengthened. On 6 March 2001, the PCP celebrated its 80th anniversary.

  • 12 Federalist Party

    ист
    Политическая партия, существовавшая в конце XVIII - начале XIX в.; первая национальная политическая партия. Основана А. Гамильтоном [ Hamilton, Alexander] в 1789. Выражала консервативные интересы крупной торговой буржуазии, стремилась к усилению центральной власти и выступала за развитие промышленности, а также за нейтралитет во внешней политике. Была доминирующей силой в федеральном правительстве в 1794-1800. Потеряла поддержку представителей нижнего среднего класса [lower middle class] после создания Т. Джефферсоном [ Jefferson, Thomas] Демократической-Республиканской партии [ Democratic-Republican Party]. После победы Джефферсона на выборах 1800 и потери поддержки избирателей из-за своей пробританской позиции в период Войны 1812 [ War of 1812] просуществовала как общенациональная партия до 1816, сохранила некоторое влияние в штатах Новой Англии [ New England], но и там прекратила существование в 1824

  • 16 Freitas do Amaral, Diogo

    (1941-)
       Legal scholar and teacher, jurist, civil servant, and politician. Born in Povoa de Varzim, Freitas do Amaral's father became a member of parliament in the Estado Novo's National Assembly. A superb student, the young Freitas do Amaral studied law at the Law Faculty, University of Lisbon, and became the top law student and protégé of Professor Marcello Caetano, who in 1968 was selected to replace an ailing Antônio de Oliveira Salazar as prime minister. Freitas do Amaral received his doctorate in law in the late 1960s and remained close to his former law professor, who was now prime minister. In his scholarship on the history of Portuguese law, as well as in his political and social ideology as a conservative, Freitas do Amaral in many respects remained a student, protégé, and follower of Caetano through the period of Caetano's premiership (1968-74) and into the era of the Revolution of 25 April 1974. More than 20 years later, Freitas do Amaral published his memoirs, which focused on the 1968-74 political era, O Antigo Regime E A Revolução. Memórias Políticas ( 1941-75). This personal portrait of Caetano's tribulations as a sometimes reluctant, well-prepared but probably inappropriately selected national leader remains an invaluable primary source for historical reconstruction.
       During the early months after the Revolution of 25 April 1974, Freitas do Amaral entered politics and became a founder of the right-wing Christian Democratic Party (CDS). He served as the party's leader to 1985 and again from 1988 to 1991, and was a member of parliament, the Assembly of the Republic, from 1975 to 1983 and from 1992 to 1993. When the Democratic Alliance, of which the CDS was a part, won elections in 1979-80, Freitas do Amaral served as deputy prime minister and minister of defense and, when Francisco de Sá Carneiro died in a mysterious air crash, Freitas do Amaral briefly served as interim prime minister. He was a candidate for the presidency in the 1986 presidential election, although he lost to Mário Soares. In 1995, he served as President of the United Nations General Assembly. As a European federalist who disagreed with the CDS Euroskeptic line followed by Paulo Portas, Freitas do Amaral broke with his party and resigned from it. Although he was usually regarded as a right-winger, Freitas do Amaral backed the Social Democratic Party in the 2002 Assembly of the Republic elections. Disillusioned with the government's policies and critical of its endorsement of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Freitas do Amaral shifted his support to the Socialist Party in the 2005 election. The new prime minister José Sôcrates named Freitas do Amaral minister of foreign affairs in the XVII Constitutional Government, but the senior jurist and politician resigned after a year in office, for health reasons.
       After many years as a law professor at the New University of Lisbon, in 2007, Freitas do Amaral delivered a final public lecture and retired from academia. He is the author of a biography of King Afonso I, a play, and of various legal and juridical studies and is considered the most eminent living scholar in the fields of administrative and constitutional law.

  • 18 Massachusetts

    Штат на северо-востоке США в группе штатов Новой Англии [ New England]. Официальное название - Содружество Массачусетс [Commonwealth of Massachusetts]. Площадь 27,3 тыс. кв. км. Население 6,3 млн. человек (2000). Столица и самый крупный город - Бостон [ Boston], крупнейший центр Новой Англии. Другие крупные города: Вустер [ Worcester], Спрингфилд [ Springfield], Лоуэлл [ Lowell], Нью-Бедфорд [ New Bedford], Кеймбридж [ Cambridge], Броктон [ Brockton], Фолл-Ривер [ Fall River], Куинси [ Quincy], Ньютон [ Newton]. Граничит со штатами Вермонт [ Vermont], Нью-Хэмпшир [ New Hampshire] и Мэн [ Maine] на севере, Род-Айленд [ Rhode Island] и Коннектикут [ Connecticut] - на юге, штатом Нью-Йорк [ New York] - на западе, на востоке имеет выход к Атлантическому океану. На востоке - Приатлантическая низменность [Atlantic Coastal Plain], на западе отроги Аппалачских гор [ Appalachian Mountains] - горы Таконик [ Taconic Mountains] и Беркшир-Хиллс [ Berkshire Hills], прорезанные р. Коннектикут [ Connecticut River] и ее притоками. Высшая точка - Маунт-Грейлок [ Greylock, Mount]. На юго-востоке - песчаная низменность, в океан выдается мыс Кейп-Код [ Cape Cod]. У южного побережья расположены острова Мартас-Виньярд [ Martha's Vineyard], мысе Нантакет [ Nantucket Island], Элизабет [Elizabeth Islands]. Умеренный влажный климат. Массачусетс имеет богатое событиями прошлое и оказал огромное влияние на развитие страны. Первыми европейцами, поселившимися на землях будущего штата, были пилигримы [ Pilgrims], прибывшие на "Мэйфлауэре" [ Mayflower] и основавшие в декабре 1620 Плимутскую колонию [ Plymouth Colony]. За ними последовали другие переселенцы. "Дорчестерская компания" [Dorchester Co.] основала в 1623 колонию Глостер [ Gloucester] на мысе Кейп-Энн [Cape Ann], а в 1626 - Номкиг [Naumkeag], будущий г. Сейлем [ Salem]. В 1629 была создана Компания Массачусетского залива [ Massachusetts Bay Company]. Первая крупная группа переселенцев-пуритан [ Puritans] прибыла сюда в 1630 под руководством Дж. Уинтропа [ Winthrop, John], основавшего Бостон как столицу колонии [ Massachusetts Bay Colony] и возглавлявшего местную иерархию в течение двух десятилетий. Вновь прибывавшие иммигранты постепенно стали расселяться вглубь континента, силой вытесняя индейцев [ Pequot War] (1637). В 1643 была создана конфедерация колоний для координации обороны, наиболее эффективно проявившая себя во время Войны короля Филипа [ King Philip's War] (1675-76). В 1684 устав колонии был упразднен, и в 1686 Массачусетская и Плимутская колонии были включены в состав Доминиона Новая Англия [ Dominion of New England], просуществовавшего до 1689. В 1691 на части территории современного Массачусетса была создана Провинция Мэн [Province of Maine]. Эпоха господства пуритан завершилась судебными процессами над сейлемскими (салемскими) "ведьмами" [ Salem Witchcraft Trials] (1692). Начало XVIII в. - период бурного экономического роста и расширения Массачусетса, развития промышленности и внешней торговли. Ширился протест против налогового гнета со стороны метрополии и тормозивших развитие колонии законов [ Molasses Act, Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Tea Act, Townshend Acts]. Кульминацией этого протеста были события в Бостоне: Бостонская резня [ Boston Massacre] (1770) и "Бостонское чаепитие" [ Boston Tea Party] (1773). Бостонский порт был закрыт, а экспедиция британских войск спровоцировала битву при Лексингтоне и Конкорде [ Lexington and Concord]. После победы американцев при Банкер-Хилле [ Bunker Hill, Battle of] англичане эвакуировались из Бостона (1776). Массачусетс, шестой по счету штат, дал молодой республике таких деятелей, как Джон Адамс [ Adams, John], Сэмюэл Адамс [ Adams, Samuel], Дж. Хэнкок [ Hancock, John]. В начале XIX в. штат серьезно пострадал от эмбарго и ограничений на внешнюю торговлю. Недовольные англо-американской войной [ War of 1812] граждане даже поднимали на Хартфордском конвенте [ Hartford Convention] вопрос о выходе из состава США. После войны в штат вернулось прежнее процветание, продолжалось развитие промышленности, сельского хозяйства и транспортной сети, ускорился рост городов. Первые 200 лет истории Массачусетса его население практически полностью состояло из потомков выходцев из Англии. С 1840-х начался приток иммигрантов из Ирландии [ Irish-Americans], в основном поселившихся в Бостоне; выходцы из Англии больше не доминировали в жизни штата. Позднее в этом же районе стали селиться итальянцы, польские и российские евреи, португальцы, французы и англоязычные канадцы, после второй мировой войны - негры. В Массачусетсе, одном из главных оплотов аболиционизма [ abolition], начало Гражданской войны [ Civil War] было встречено с энтузиазмом, штат внес существенный вклад в победу Севера. На конец столетия приходится мощный всплеск индустриального развития штата. В 1900-10 многие фабрики уже устарели и закрылись, текстильная промышленность постепенно переместилась в южные штаты. Возросла роль сферы услуг, банковского дела и страхования; в первые десятилетия XX в. продолжались процессы урбанизации (более 60 процентов жителей штата живут в городах с населением свыше 25 тыс. человек). Великая депрессия [ Great Depression] прежде всего отразилась на районах, уже пострадавших от закрытия текстильных и обувных фабрик. Во время второй мировой войны штат значительно расширил кораблестроение и машиностроение. В послевоенный период Массачусетс часто играл роль национального лидера в социально-политических переменах. С 50-х гг. большое место в экономике стали занимать новые отрасли, в том числе электроника. Массачусетс первым принял ряд мер по охране окружающей среды, созданию эффективных систем городского транспорта (в Бостоне), коммунальных услуг и др., внес огромный вклад в культуру и образование. Основные проблемы штата в начале 90-х гг. - спад в промышленности, рост безработицы и преступности, ухудшение условий жизни в крупных городах, снижение уровня социальной помощи. Конституция Массачусетса была принята в 1780 и является старейшей действующей конституцией штата [ state constitution]. Родина Дж. Кеннеди [ Kennedy, John Fitzgerald (JFK)], Массачусетс - традиционный оплот Демократической партии [ Democratic Party].

  • 19 Balsemão, Francisco

    (1937-)
       Lawyer, journalist, publisher, political leader, and media magnate. From a wealthy, well-connected family, Balsemão was educated as an attorney at the Law Faculty, University of Lisbon, like so many of his country's leaders in modern times. He began to practice law and write for newspapers in the early 1960s. In the 1969 general elections, he entered politics as a leader in the "liberal wing" of the regime's sole political party or movement, the Acção Nacional Popular, successor of the União Nacional. Soon discouraged by the failure of reform efforts, he resigned his seat in the National Assembly during the last years of Marcello Caetano's governance. In January 1973, he began publishing and editing a new newspaper, the independent Lisbon weekly Expresso, whose modern format, spirit, reform ideas, and muted criticism of the regime attracted much public interest.
       As part of a new wave of more liberal urban opinion among the better-educated classes, Balsemao's influential weekly paper helped prepare public opinion for change and for "an opening" in a closed system while Portugal moved toward revolutionary times, 1974-75. Expresso took as its models contemporary French and British investigative journalism, adapted to Portugal, and the paper was instrumental in promoting the colonial war hero General Antônio Spínola as a new leader who could solve the political impasse. The paper also featured excerpts from General Spinola's sensational book on Portugal's future and the wars in Africa, published in February 1974. Expresso thus helped prepare Portuguese public opinion for the military's intervention in the coup that brought about the Revolution of 25 April 1974. Following 1974, Balsemão became a leader in the Social Democratic Party (PSD). After the sudden death of the PSD leader, Sá Carneiro, in a mysterious air crash in 1980, Balsemão became PSD leader and served as prime minister from January 1981 to June 1983. In the 1990s, he helped finance and launch one of Portugal's first private television channels.
