This article searches for a preliminary, but structured, assessment of the international security landscape of the 21st century. It focuses on the predictions of offensive realism (Mearsheimer 2001), which are contrasted with conceptual propositions about international standards of unipolarity (Wohlforth 1999; Diniz 2006) and data indexes on the international production of wealth, its allocations in means of military power and the appreciation of alterations in this correlation because of the 2008 Financial Crisis. The article points out that trends of power distributions do not widely favor Russia and China. However, because of the greater Chinese resilience to the crisis, the accumulated value of their military investments overcome all its neighbors and its large demand for natural resources in other countries or areas in dispute have led the organization of major systemic constraints when compared to the Russian case. The paper also shows that these dynamics of regional power do not allow reconsidering the U.S. military primacy. Finally, the article presents some final considerations of methodological and conceptual slant in order to advance on the research in international security.

Propõe-se a aderência do campo dos Estudos Estratégicos à Metodologia dos Programas de Pesquisa Científica de Imre Lakatos como forma de prover rigor e cientificidade ao estudo do fenômeno bélico. Apresenta-se como o Programa Clausewitziano atende aos requisitos da rigorosa epistemologia lakatosiana, delimitando o seu núcleo duro, o seu cinturão protetor de hipóteses auxiliares e suas orientações heurísticas. Conclui-se com uma breve ilustração da força heurística e da progressividade do Programa Clausewitziano, a partir das contribuições de Julian S. Corbett, e com um exemplo de mudança teórica interprogramática, a partir da proposta de Michael Handel

O artigo pontua a trajetória dos Estudos Estratégicos desde sua origem para embasar o pleito de sua centralidade em temas afins à Defesa Nacional. Discute o porquê de tal 'interdisciplina', a forma cíclica pela qual eles vêm sendo objetos de estudo, ensino e pesquisa em estabelecimentos civis e militares e o resultado capital da centralidade da Teoria da Guerra de Clausewitz para seu desenvolvimento. Apresenta, à guisa de conclusões, um conjunto de preocupações sobre a atualidade dos Estudos Estratégicos.

This edited volume focuses on the South Atlantic regional and national issues with maritime implications: naval policy, security, transnational organized crime, and Europe's legacy and current influence. The work analyzes the positions in favor and against NATO's extended role in the South Atlantic, the historical and current issues related to the Falklands War, the African national deficits, and initiatives to attend the regional maritime problems. Including contributions from Angolan, Brazilian, Senegalese, and US collaborators, the volume offers eclectic conceptual frameworks, rich historical backgrounds, updated data, original analysis models, and policy recommendations. Érico Duarte is Professor at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Manuel Correia de Barros is Founder and Deputy Chairman at the Center for Strategic Studies of Angola, Angola.--

O objetivo do trabalho é estudar a relação dos fins e meios navais no âmbito da Zona Econômica Exclusiva. O argumento é de que a Governança da Segurança Marítima é um conceito melhor do que Comando do Mar para explicar o uso da força nessas áreas marítimas e que as forças navais precisam se reorganizar para atender às novas demandas de segurança.
