The political changes recorded in the post-cold war world era intensified
interregional relations, causing threats and risks in the global security
environment, putting the countries of the Atlantic on alert (especially Cape
Verde) and feeding the imperative need to create the conditions to ensure
security and defensiveness. This article analyzes, from the strategic point
of view, the role of Cape Verde on security and defense of the Atlantic. It has
been used the quantitative method, reviewing and analyzing the literature,
which made it possible to determine that Cape Verde -despite being a small,
peripheral country and with scarce economic resources- can contribute to
the development of a new dimension of security in respect of south-south
and north-south, turning the Atlantic in a corridor of peace and political
stability
