The South Atlantic, Southern Africa and South America : cooperation and development

The South Atlantic is becoming a strategic space in terms of development. The maritime usage on both shores of the ocean allows the exploration and the use, as well as the conservation and the management, of the natural resources of the seabed and the subsoil. The guarantee of economic rights, with the counterpart of duties and responsibilities of political nature, environmental and of public security, reflects the possibility of control over and area rich in natural resources and that, at the same time, becomes vulnerable to international pressures of all kinds. The research objectives are: a) analyze the geo-economic importance of the ocean due the increasing exploration of this space; b) analyze the new geopolitical reality, because the South Atlantic was converted into a strategic route of passage and development pole; and, c) analyze its geostrategic relevance by establishing a connection with Asia via Indian Ocean, highlighting the role of South Africa and IBSA

ATLÂNTICO SUL, ÁFRICA AUSTRAL E AMÉRICA DO SUL: COOPERAÇÃO E DESENVOLVIMENTO

The South Atlantic is becoming a strategic space in terms of development. The sea usage on both shores of the Ocean allows the exploitation and the use, as well as the conservation and the management of the natural resources of the seabed and the subsoil. The guarantee of economic rights, with the counterpart of duties and responsibilities of political nature, environmental and of public security, reflects the possibility of control over and area rich in natural resources and that, at the same time, becomes vulnerable to international pressures of all kinds. The research objectives are: a) analyze the geo-economic importance of the Ocean due the increasing exploitation of this space; b) analyze the new geopolitical reality, because the South Atlantic was converted into a strategic route of passage and development pole; and, c) analyze its geostrategic relevance by establishing a connection with Asia via Indian Ocean, highlighting the role of South Africa and IBSA.O Atlântico Sul está se tornando um espaço estratégico em termos de desenvolvimento. O uso do mar em ambas as margens do Oceano permite a exploração e utilização, bem como a conservação e gestão dos recursos naturais do leito do mar e no subsolo. A garantia dos direitos econômicos, com a contrapartida de deveres e responsabilidades de natureza política, ambiental e de segurança pública, reflete a possibilidade de controle de uma área rica em recursos naturais e que, ao mesmo tempo, torna-se vulnerável às pressões internacionais de todos tipos. Os objetivos deste artigo são: a) analisar a importância geoeconômica do Oceano devido o aumento da exploração deste espaço, b) analisar a nova realidade geopolítica, porque o Atlântico Sul foi transformado em uma rota de passagem estratégica e polo de desenvolvimento e, c) analisar a sua importância geoestratégica, pois o Oceano estabelece uma ligação com a Ásia via Oceano Índico, destacando o papel da África do Sul e do IBAS
