cknowledgements
This book is one of the results of a four-year research group on “Brazil
and the South Atlantic Security: Foreign Policy and Defence Strategy”,
funded by a generous grant from the Ministries of Education (CAPES)
and Defence of Brazil. That group comprised scholars and students of
the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Federal University of Rio
Grande do Sul, and the Brazilian Naval War College.
The task for this book’s development was attributed by professor Kai
Michael Kenkel, coordinator of the research group, whom we thank for
the challenge. That we followed served with a staff that deserves praise.
Felippe de Rosa and Clara Cost took care of the grants’ execution and
administrative aspects. Dermeval Aires Jr. and Larissa Stoner translated to
English several of the chapters, and Dioneia Falk formatted and reviewed
the bibliographical references of all of them.
Finally, we deeply thank Danilo Marcondes, who reviewed and com-
mented most of the manuscript making significant progress in its coher-
ence and quality. The same role had Ms. Bruna Toso de Alcantara in
reviewing some of the chapters. Besides the contribution of one chapter,
Igor Castellano da Silva was crucial in the designing of the book by
assisting us in the first contacts with most of the African collaborators.
