ABSTRACT Faced with significant changes to the economic and strategic scenario in the South Atlantic over the past decade, the region’s two major powers – Brazil and South Africa – have taken divergent approaches to policymaking for the maritime sphere. Whereas Brazil has, in essence, transferred its terrestrial security policy to the oceans and maintains a state-based deterrent approach, South Africa has invested heavily in governance-based approaches at the national, regional and international levels. While results have been limited on both sides due to the South Atlantic’s subordinate status, this contribution argues that South Africa’s approach has been significantly more successful in attaining both national (and regional) goals and providing policy solutions for the South Atlantic Ocean as a whole.

南大西洋海上安全治理的竞争观点：巴西和南非

摘要 面对过去十年南大西洋经济和战略格局的重大变化，该地区的两个大国——巴西和南非——对海洋领域的决策采取了不同的方法。巴西实质上已将其陆地安全政策转移到海洋并保持基于国家的威慑方法，而南非则在国家、区域和国际层面对基于治理的方法进行了大量投资。虽然由于南大西洋的从属地位，双方的成果有限，但这一贡献认为，南非的方法在实现国家（和区域）目标和为整个南大西洋提供政策解决方案方面明显更加成功。
