From 2002 to 2004 he served as Prime Minister of Portugal.<\/p>\n<h2>Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso Lecture topics<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Why Europe Matters<\/li>\n<li>The Future of Europe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso (born 1956) graduated in Law from the Faculty of Law at the University of Lisbon and has an MSc in Economic and Social Sciences from the University of Geneva in Switzerland. He continued his academic career as an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Lisbon and did research for a PhD at Georgetown University in Washington D.C.. Back in Lisbon, Barroso became Director of the Department for International Relations at Lus\u00edada University. He is also a 1998 graduate of the Georgetown Leadership Seminar.<\/p>\n<p>His active political career began in 1985 when he was named Under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs under the PSD government of An\u00edbal Cavaco Silva. Barroso had joined the PPD\/PSD-Social Democratic Party in 1980. In the same government he was elevated to Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in 1987, a post he was to hold for the next five years. Following Barroso was promoted to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs and served until the defeat of the PSD in the general election of 1995.<\/p>\n<p>In opposition, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso was elected to the Assembly of the Republic as a representative for Lisbon in 1995, and became chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. In 1999 he was elected president of the PSD party and thus became Leader of the Opposition. After the parliamentary elections in 2002 his party formed a coalition government with the Portuguese People\u2019s Party and Barroso subsequently became Prime Minister of Portugal. As Prime Minister, facing a growing budget deficit, he made a number of difficult decisions and adopted strict reforms. Under his leadership, Portugal became part of the &#8220;coalition of the willing&#8221; for the invasion and occupation of Iraq, sending non-combat troops.<\/p>\n<p>On 5th July 2004 Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso had been nominated as President of the European Commission and therefore did not finish his term as Portugal\u2019s Prime Minister. As the EPP candidate, Barroso was chosen by the European Council to become President of the European Commission. During the 2009 European election campaign he was again endorsed by the European People\u2019s Party for a second term and on 16th September 2009 he was re-elected for another five years. He is only the second Commission president to serve two terms, after Jacques Delors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso: President of the European Commission (2004-2014); Prime Minister of Portugal (2002-2004) Jos\u00e9 Manuel Dur\u00e3o Barroso is the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":44155,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tags":[],"speaker-category":[16598,16607,16593],"speaker-topic":[16620,16621],"speaker-type":[16667],"speaker-gender":[16670],"speaker-language":[16572,16574,16584],"class_list":["post-51582","speaker","type-speaker","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","speaker-category-celebrities","speaker-category-economy-politics","speaker-category-globalisation","speaker-topic-europe","speaker-topic-european-union-brexit","speaker-type-keynote-speaker","speaker-gender-men","speaker-language-english","speaker-language-french","speaker-language-spanish"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso on global Politics &amp; Economy | Premium Speakers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso is a top Speaker on global Politics and Economy, Future of Europe and global shifts USA - CHINA.
