Tenho um grande gosto em escrever umas palavras de boas-vindas aos leitores da revista Temas de Integração, decorridos quase três décadas desde a sua criação, tendo em conta o que ela tem significado e continuará a significar.
Foi criada em boa medida pela Associação de Estudos Europeus da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Coimbra, que em 1983, ainda bem antes da entrada de Portugal nas Comunidades, criou um dos primeiros Cursos de Estudos Europeus do nosso país. Assim aconteceu para se corresponder à necessidade de se facultar a várias gerações o conhecimento de uma realidade que iria ter um grande relevo nas nossas vidas, muito em particular na nossa atividade económica.
E tendo-se naturalmente também em vista chegar a muitos outros interessados, mesmo a quem ia concluindo a frequência do Curso, em 1996 foi criada a revista Temas de Integração.
Julgamos tratar-se de uma revista com um lugar marcante no nosso quadro editorial, como revista dedicada à temática da integração; valendo a pena sublinhar que desde o seu início teve uma estreita parceria com o Brasil, logo na sua instituição.
Assim acontece tratando-se de uma revista que ao longo das décadas tem vindo a considerar o papel importante dos espaços de integração, em particular da União Europeia e do MERCOSUL. Mas estamos agora a ampliar grandemente essa abrangência espacial, enveredando por uma clara maior internacionalização do público e dos colaboradores da revista; alargando as visões sobre os espaços de integração, num mundo global em que, com realismo, só com as suas dinâmicas poderemos ter um desenvolvimento maior e uma maior aproximação entre as pessoas.

It gives me great pleasure to write a few words of welcome to the readers of Temas de Integração, almost three decades after its creation, in recognition of what the journal has represented and will continue to represent.
The journal was established largely through the initiative of the European Studies Association of the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra, which, in 1983—well before Portugal’s accession to the European Communities—created one of the first European Studies courses in the country. This initiative arose from the need to provide successive generations with knowledge of a reality that would come to play a decisive role in our lives, particularly in our economic activity.
With the aim of reaching a wider audience, including those who had completed the course, Temas de Integração was launched in 1996. We believe it occupies a distinctive place in the Portuguese editorial landscape as a journal dedicated to the study of integration, and it is worth emphasising that, from its inception, it established a close partnership with Brazil.
Over the decades, the journal has consistently addressed the significant role of integration spaces, in particular the European Union and MERCOSUR. Today, however, we are greatly expanding this geographical scope, moving towards a clearer internationalisation of both readership and contributors. In doing so, we seek to broaden perspectives on integration processes in a global world, where—realistically—it is only through such dynamics that we can achieve deeper development and foster greater closeness among peoples.
