The Brazil Institute invites you to the South Atlantic Security: Actors, Interests & Strategies Conference's Panel 1 with Dr. André Panno Beirão.
Abstract
The South Atlantic scenario, although it’s relatively more peaceful than other maritime regions, has also faced new challenges; mainly in security claims. For instance, the region known as the "Gulf of Guinea" is one of those scenarios that demand special attention. But, what do the regional actors, indeed, feel like a security problem? Regional approaches to the point are essential for cooperative actions.
