“…It is a strategic space with future perspectives (Ahlers, Kohli, and Sood 2013;Cilliers, Hughes, and Moyer 2011) and potential consequences for Brazil (Abdenur and Neto 2014). In terms of the S&D dynamics, it is important to consider that the region was hit as no other by the transformations of the world economy and politics 6 , reason why the issue of security has become of primary importance for the continent (Penna Filho 2004b;Freitas and Araújo 2014) and even for the southern Atlantic space as a whole (Vaz and Migon 2013;Coutinho 2014).…”

“…Meanwhile, bilateral security-led co-operative initiatives survived, but remained largely incipient (e.g. Khanyile 2003), that is, until new overtures after the turn of the century began to take place under Brazilian leadership, while infusing them with a new kind of regional discourse (Abdenur and Souza Neto 2014;Duarte 2016). This revamped collective drive became evident as statements by both South African and Brazilian officials exemplify:…”

Abstract:In the broader context of regional studies, the South Atlantic comes across as a singular, yet still understudied case study for the formation, evolution, and regression of security regionalism dynamics. More so when South Atlantic countries have come to engage in increased regionally focused interactions through wider defence co-operation ties. However, they have also steadfastly eschewed any kind of permanent structures and shared sovereignty over sensitive security issues. This article strives to ascertain the limits and prospects of these regional security dynamics in the South Atlantic. With the focal points set on both South American and African shores, I pinpoint key overtures in this area and question their contribution to advancing an overall regionalisation process. Despite shared threat perceptions and an absence of major intra-regional conflicts, I argue that South Atlantic security regionalism lacks a stable and permanent structure inasmuch as it lacks real autonomy from the dictums of external regional powers, thus leaving the transatlantic space still in flux.

“…The recognition that the South Atlantic is not a security community, even in its subregions, seems to be a consensus view among some of the experts (Sousa Neto 2014;Abdenur and Marcondes 2014). Instead, in the understanding of Abdenur and Danilo Souza Neto (2014: 6), 'an imagined community' , whose reification brings concreteness and is an ongoing process, achieves better results for the enrolled states and began only a decade ago.…”

This paper aims to examine the importance of co-operation for maritime security in the South Atlantic, focusing on the relationship between the national and sub-regional institutions that have leveraged this process, especially those from Brazil. For this purpose, the diagnosis addresses the debates around the contemporary roles of the navy and the importance of international cooperation for its mission accomplishment, highlighting the tasks judged as subsidiary, among them being that of maritime traffic control. The alignment of these co-operative activities with foreign policy and national defence projects can be seen through the navy's participation in multilateral cooperation projects involving South America, particularly the Co-ordination for the South Atlantic Maritime Area (CAMAS). The research detects the existence of a particular model of a community of security practice in which national and sub-regional institutions have been generating an important maritime co-operative system, which is more stable than in other areas of co-operation in the same region.
