Abstract
Between 1906 and 1933 Portuguese politics was extremely volatile. Cabinets were short lived and there were dozens of insurrections, coups d'état attemps and other kinds of political violence. The situation was often depicted as a «disorder» that made business as usual impossible and hindered the country's progress. This text analyses one of the political alternatives that sought to put an end to that disorder: the search for a strong State embraced by some leading radicals in the republican movement, specially focusing the policies they proposed when they were in power, namely during the «radical» governments backed by the National Republican Guard (1920 to 1921).
