“…While the UK, USA and France began advocating global interventionist measures, Iceland, Denmark, Greece, Canada, Turkey, Norway, West Germany, Italy, Belgium preferred NATO to maintain its regional scope. The latter group feared that an expanded range of action would provoke hostilities with the USSR and divert NATO resources for purposes other than European security (COKER, 1985;HURRELL, 1988).…”

“…The communications base at Silvermine gathered information from Soviet ships and submarines with the intention of intercepting commercial shipping at the Cape of Good Hope (PENHA, 2011). According to Coker (1985), even if data exchange existed between NATO and Silvermine, there wasn't direct contact between the intelligence authorities. In times of war, each country would provide offices to accommodate members' navy officers.…”

Este artigo contribui para os estudos sobre operações out-of-area da OTAN focado no Atlântico Sul. Pela primeira vez, essa região apareceu na agenda da organização na década de 1970, quando a presença soviética ameaçou o transporte marítimo comercial das potências ocidentais. Após a Guerra Fria, a Aliança transformou suas capacidades e estrutura para adaptar-se aos eventos do novo cenário de segurança internacional, expandindo atividades além das fronteiras do Atlântico Norte. Acordos de parceria com a Colômbia e Mauritânia, exercícios militares conjuntos com Cabo Verde, Gana e outros países da África Ocidental evidenciam a projeção da OTAN no Atlântico Sul. Além disso, o artigo expõe a abundância de recursos naturais, as ameaças à segurança e a crescente projeção de atores extrarregionais (Rússia, China e Índia) como prováveis fatores de engajamento da OTAN na região.

“…During the anti‐colonial war in Angola, Peking claimed that while it tried to promote unity among the Angolan movements, Moscow was deliberately instigating the civil war in an attempt to gain influence in that resource‐rich country (Guimaraes, 1998). In Peking's view, Moscow attempted to ‘fish in troubled waters’ (Coker, 1985: 63). Unlike the Soviet Union, the Chinese emphasized the struggle between the developed and the underdeveloped worlds, between the North and the South.…”

Abstract:The debates on the politics of Chinese engagement with African development have been infused with increasing concern over Chinese use of aid in exchange for preferential energy deals. Normative liberal discourse criticizes the Chinese for disbursing 'rogue aid' and undermining good governance in the African continent. These criticisms not only ignore the longer term motivations and modalities of Chinese aid and the historical diversity of Chinese relations with Africa, but also uncritically assumes 'Western' aid to be morally 'better' and 'more effective' in terms of development outcomes. There are three parts to this paper. First, it will discuss the emerging debates surrounding Chinese engagement in Africa, especially around aid and development issues. Second, the paper maps the historical development of China-Africa engagement and investigates the impacts of the changing modalities of Chinese aid in two case study countries: Angola and Ghana. We then conclude with a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences between these two cases. Our principal argument is that different ideologies and practices of governance are used by both the Chinese and the western donors to conceal their own interests and political discourses in the African continent.
