Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho é um estudo sobre o Partido Social Democrata (PSD) em Oliveira de Azeméis. Este é um partido que se tem caracterizado, localmente, por um número de vitórias elevado, nomeadamente em eleições autárquicas, em que o PSD é o único partido a vencer desde o primeiro acto eleitoral, em 1976. Para se compreender o contexto nacional, iniciou-se o trabalho com urna explicação sobre a passagem para a democracia representativa em Portugal e sobre as características gerais do poder central e do poder local. Num segundo momento, analisaram-se as tipologias dos partidos políticos, conforme constam da literatura da ciência política. Estudou-se depois o perfil dos partidos portugueses, no espectro político nacional e procuraram-se dados de caracterização da sua implantação eleitoral. Procedeu-se em seguida a um estudo mais detalhado do Partido Social Democrata, na sua história, orgânica e linhas programáticas. O estudo do partido no Concelho foi realizado a seguir, estruturando-se sobre a análise de dados documentais e de dados resultantes de entrevistas a "elites" partidárias locais. Caracterizou-se a estrutura local e a sua relação com os níveis distrital e nacional do partido. Procurou-se ainda perceber como se posiciona o partido na sua relação com a autarquia, dado que é, de longa data, partido no poder. Do conjunto, ressalta a imagem de um partido com forte enraizamento local, sendo que capitaliza, na estrutura nacional, essa vantagem. Do Partido Social Democrata, no seu todo, resulta a imagem de um partido de governo, cuja estratégia assenta numa vasta mobilização de eleitores, fenómenos que o inserem nas tipologias contemporâneas dos partidos políticos.
This work is a study of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) in Oliveira de Azerneis. This is a party that has been characterized locally by a high number of victories, especially in local elections, in which the PSD is the only party to have won since the first election in 1976. To understand the national context, the work begins with an explanation of the transition to representative democracy in Portugal and on the general characteristics of central and local government. Secondly, the political parties' types were analyzed as indicated in the political science literature. Next, the profile of the Portuguese parties in the national political spectrum was studied and data was sought to obtain a characterization of its electoral roll. We then proceeded to a more detailed study of the Social Democratic Party, in its history, organics and programmatic lines. The study of the party in the County below was conducted then, based on the analysis of documents and data from interviews with local party "elites". The local structure and its relationship with the district and national levels of the party was then characterized. 1 was also sought to understand how the party stands in its relationship with the local authority, as it is a long time ruling party. From the set, emerges the image of a party with strong local roots that capitalizes on the national structure. Of the Social Democratic Party as a whole, results the image of a government party, whose strategy is based on a large voter mobilization, phenomena that matches the typologies of contemporary political parties.
