Conscription is resurging across Europe. And in Portugal?
LusoGlobe Research in Charge
Abstract
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 shocked Europe into taking a long hard look at its defences. Some countries are talking about three-month of military programmes… that’s nothing. This project deals the military conscription and aims to create a forum for experts in the field to discuss the pros and cons of a possible return. It also aims to develop a study on attitudes towards compulsory military service in wartime in Europe.
