Book of the Month


Book of the Month is a monthly initiative organised by the Library, with the support of the Communications Office, which aims to publicise the latest academic work by Iscte’s lecturers and researchers. Authors are invited to take part in a short video presenting their work, which is filmed on the Iscte campus and published on the Library’s and Iscte’s Facebook and YouTube channels.

For one month, the book is displayed on the first floor of the Library for consultation by the Iscte community and other users, accompanied by a leaflet containing a biographical and bibliographical note on the author or presenter of the work.

The books featured in the Book of the Month initiative form part of the Library’s collection and can be borrowed.


Book of the Month - September 2026

As part of its Book of the Month initiative, the library is highlighting the book, Governing Solidarity in European Labour Markets, edited by Paulo Marques, Rui Branco, Óscar Molina e Renato Miguel do Carmo.

This book analyses how Portugal and Spain, two structurally similar countries, sought to reduce labour market segmentation in the wake of the sovereign debt crisis. The book compares reforms relating to employment protection and collective bargaining, the minimum wage, platform work and the regularisation of precarious employment in the public sector.

Drawing on the distinction between competitive solidarity and inclusive solidarity, it shows that Portugal pursued a strategy more focused on workers in precarious situations, whilst Spain moved towards broader and more universal re-regulation.

The book is on display on the first floor of the Library for consultation throughout October, accompanied by a leaflet containing the authors bio and bibliographical information.
