%X This article engages the analyses of Poulantzas, Anderson, and Ferreira do Aramal to outline the main politico-economic contours of post-Carnation Revolution Portugal. The account that follows examines the effects of accession to the European Economic Community (EEC), European Union (EU) structural funding and liberalization policies, and the euro currency. The article concludes by situating the troika¡¯s 2011 ¡°rescue¡± of the Portuguese state¡ªand the accompanying austerity measures¡ªwithin the post-1974 process of ¡°Europeanization.
