The editorial team, João Rui Pita and Ana Leonor Pereira, is preparing the forthcoming issue, number 14, which will be devoted to the theme “Europe, pharmacy, medicines.”

Scope

Medicines and pharmaceutical activity are indispensable to modern society. Medicines derive from scientific and technological innovation and are produced by pharmaceutical industries that are, generally, multinational corporations. Notwithstanding the existing global tendencies, in the European Union there are specificities concerning medicines. They are bound to legal and ethical standards. Some research and commercialization policies relate to health policies. The pharmaceutical profession endows an intense professional responsibility. Despite their clinical and scientific features, medicines have a strong social aspect. In the contemporary world one has to consider new areas, such as, genetics, biotechnology and others relating to medicines. These new paths represent important scientific, technological, legal, economical challenges and above all private, public and social health challenges.

The forthcoming issue of the journal Debater a Europa is devoted to the theme: “Europe, pharmacy, medicines.” In accordance with journal’s scope, we will accept studies regarding XX-XXI century medicines, European pharmacy and studies on individual state member reality. We will accept articles that analyze the historical, social, economic, legal and ethical context of medicines in accordance with the following guidelines:

1. Twentieth century history of pharmacy and medicines in European Union countries.
2. History and sociology of pharmacies, pharmaceutical industries, medicines, patents, publicity, etc.
3. The social function of the pharmaceutical professions and medicines
4. Pharmaceutical research: tradition and innovation
5. Pharmaceutical industries, production and medicine globalization
6. Dispensing medicines: legal, ethical, social and economic aspects
7. New scientific, technological, political and other challenges associated with medicines in the European context
