Essequibo em foco: um estudo de caso do Contencioso Sulamericano

Abstract

Although the scenario is positive in terms of regional integration in South America Security Complex in recent times, it is pertinent to point out the existence of instabilities strongly structured to be remedied, the example of border conflicts unresolved. Throughout this study, we sought to understand the existence of these border conflicts and the real needs of its resolutions, making case study of the Essequibo Litigation. Dedicated to the identification of the impacts caused by the persistence of this "pump stand by", highlighting the importance of regional integration and security initiatives in the dissolution process of these conflicts and the role of Brazil in this arrangement. The objective is to finally point out the border disputes as a hindrance in the development of relations of mutual trust and integration between the countries of the region, issues that should be resolved in order to reach as soon as possible a good regional development index.
