Abstract

ABSTRACT The Zone of Peace and Cooperation of the South Atlantic (ZOPACAS) is a maritime zone of peace that was established, largely through Brazilian efforts, by the UN General Assembly in 1986. Since its establishment, ministerial meetings have been convened to discuss the zone’s evolving agenda, which has focused on maintaining peace, building diplomatic and defence cooperation between its twenty-four member states, and encouraging development in the South Atlantic region. This article examines Brazilian diplomatic and defence interests in the South Atlantic, providing an analysis of sections in Brazil’s official defence documents (1994–2020), pertaining to the ZOPACAS, South-South cooperation, development and regional security. It ultimately seeks to address how efforts behind a new revitalisation of the ZOPACAS are being driven by the Brazilian military with the aim of expanding Brazil’s defence framework in the South Atlantic.
当国防驱动外交政策:巴西军事机构在ZOPACAS的振兴
南大西洋和平与合作区(ZOPACAS)是联合国大会于1986年在巴西的努力下建立的一个海上和平区。自成立以来,已经召开了部长级会议,讨论该地区不断发展的议程,其重点是维持和平,在其24个成员国之间建立外交和防务合作,并鼓励南大西洋地区的发展。本文考察了巴西在南大西洋的外交和国防利益,分析了巴西官方国防文件(1994-2020年)中与ZOPACAS、南南合作、发展和地区安全有关的部分。它最终寻求解决巴西军方如何推动ZOPACAS重新焕发活力的努力,目的是扩大巴西在南大西洋的防御框架。
