DESCRIPTION
OF THE ORGANISATION		 The ICS, an Associated State Laboratory, is a university institution devoted to research and advanced training in the social sciences. The mission of the ICS is to study contemporary societies with a special emphasis on Portugal and the societies and cultures with which Portugal has an historical relationship, either in Europe or in other regions of the world. Linking researchers from several different disciplines, the ICS currently focuses its research on five main subject areas: the formation of the contemporary world; the study of citizenship and democratic institutions; the problems of sustainability, linking the environment, risk and space; social changes and individual action in the context of the family, lifestyles and schooling; and issues concerning identity, migration and religion. The main subject areas represented at the Institute are: Social and Cultural Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Human Geography, History, Social Psychology and Sociology. Currently the Institute has about 80 researchers and 100 postgraduate students and is engaged in about 200 research projects. Close to sixty per cent of its activities are financed from its own funds, which are obtained on a competitive basis. One of the main subject areas of research is the formation of the contemporary world. Our principal aim is to study, from a long term perspective, the processes of social, cultural, economic and institutional change which are becoming increasingly plural and interrelated. We combine diverse methodological perspectives and scales of analysis to study the historical evolution of such phenomena as empire, political change, cultural change and economic growth, in a spirit which has long been a hallmark of research at the ICS. Within this area of research, special emphasis is given to the development of research in the history of economic thought in a comparative perspective.
