O Real Paço Mafra: do Magnânimo ao Clemente (UAb)

Erguido numa lógica de afirmação do poder real, o Real Paço de Mafra está intimamente ligado à figura de D. João V. Mas a adaptação a novos tempos, a evolução do gosto, o terramoto de 1755 e as campanhas de Napoleão vão determinar a forma como o Paço vai sendo (ou não) habitado ao longo do século XVIII. Outro monarca, D. João VI, deixará também a sua marca neste que era um dos seus Paços favoritos. Conheça neste curso esta e outras dimensões da história do Palácio.

Terrorism and Counterterrorism: Comparing Theory and Practice (Coursera)

Terrorism has arguably been one of the defining factors of our age. It frequently makes headlines, threatening or attacking governments, private business and ordinary citizens. And in many parts of the world, it has been one of the most important threats to peace, security and stability. But what does this exactly mean? What is the nature of this threat? Who or what is threatened, how, by whom and why? What can be done about it or how can we at least limit the impact of terrorism and make sure that terrorists do not make headlines and manage to scare us? These are just a handful of questions that will be addressed in this course that consists of three parts.
