Abstract

Using a didactic-based approach to history and to the theory of histo­riography, this study aims at analy­sing the correlation between histo­rio­graphy, the teaching of history and education for democratic citi­zen­ship in Portugal, since 1991, which promotes an integrated/
/sustai­nable development. The study characterises the way in which the political system, the State appa­ra­tus and social society individua­lities/ organisations in Portugal have sought to shape the aforementioned correlation. An alternative (partial) way of structuring the involvement of non-higher education in history in education for a democratic citi­zenship and promoter of integrated//sustainable development is also explained and justified.
