A segurança coletiva na América do Sul: ameaças e oportunidades

Abstract

The end of the Cold War has brought changes to the world, especially in international relations when, from this historical milestone, the need to regionalize the debate on international security issues was realized. In this tuning the work will seek to analyze the threats and opportunities to the Brazilian Naval Power in a context of rapprochement relations with the northern Andean countries. Considering the volatile and dynamic environment and the emergence of threats beyond the state and traditional ones, the importance of Brazil's insertion in this regional concert increases and can be exploited using the capabilities and characteristics of the Brazilian Navy and the diplomacy exercised by the Naval Power. International Security Studies from the regionalist and broadening perspective proposed by the Copenhagen School will be the consonant conductors with traditional maritime strategists in assessing Brazil's role as a regional power and actor in the process of stabilization and development of South America. Working with their internal conflicts, with subcontinent neighbors, and with the global powers of the International System are urged to respond to the volatile and changing International System, and a comprehensive and comprehensive approach to understanding regional dynamics and power flows is essential. Thus, the existence of a balanced, credible Naval Power that can act as a deterrent and as an instrument of diplomacy is growing in importance, supporting Brazilian foreign policy and seeking to highlight its presence in the region in a cooperative and collaborative manner, as well as being more independent of global powers
