Abstract(s)
As missões internacionais das Forças Armadas, como importante instrumento de política
externa, devem adequar-se aos interesses estratégicos de um país, através de uma correta
articulação entre os meios disponíveis com os níveis de ambição propostos. O Atlântico e
os Países de Língua Oficial Portuguesa constituem um espaço de interesse estratégico para
Portugal. Muitos destes países carecem de meios apropriados de fiscalização marítima
para o exercício da sua soberania no mar. Por conseguinte, Portugal tem efetuado missões
de fiscalização nas áreas marítimos de Cabo Verde e São Tomé e Príncipe, no âmbito da
Cooperação no Domínio da Defesa. Este estudo analisa e recomenda opções para a
segurança marítima de Cabo Verde e São Tomé e Príncipe, no contexto da Cooperação no
Domínio da Defesa. Recorrendo a uma metodologia de raciocínio indutivo, assente numa
investigação qualitativa, com reforço quantitativo e no desenho de pesquisa de estudo de
caso, concluiu-se que existem interesses estratégicos, relacionados com as atividades da
economia do mar nas áreas marítimas em estudo. O estudo termina com recomendações
que visam a otimização da segurança marítima nos mares de Cabo Verde e São Tomé e
Príncipe, tendo em conta o seu ambiente operacional, as capacidades e disponibilidade de
meios militares.
The international military mission, as an important foreign policy tool, should be adapted to the strategic interests, through a proper connection between the available assets and the levels of ambition. The Atlantic and the Portuguese Speaking African Countries are a strategic space for portuguese interests. Many of these countries lack proper means for maritime patrol, to impose their sovereignty in the sea. As a consequence, Portugal has been doing missions of maritime patrol, in the maritime areas of Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe, in the context of the Bilateral Defense Cooperation. This study analyses and recommends options for the maritime security of Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe, for the Bilateral Defense Cooperation. Based on an inductive reasoning methodology, qualitative research strategy with quantitative reinforcement and a case study design, it was concluded that there are strategic interests related with maritime economic activities in the areas studied in this work. Recommendations were made in order to optimize the maritime security of Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe, having in consideration the operational environment, the capabilities and military resources.
