Este artículo examina la creciente preocupación de la comunidad internacional por las nuevas dinámicas de seguridad que se están gestando en el Atlántico Sur y el potencial ascenso de esta área en la agenda internacional de seguridad. Sobre la base de viejas y nuevas amenazas con el telón de fondo del interés manifestado por países como Brasil y Estados Unidos hacia esta área específica, y haciendo hincapié en los intereses político-estratégicos de estos dos países en África, este texto ofrece una visión pertinente del contexto actual de seguridad, desde las posibilidades de competir a las oportunidades de cooperar entre todos los actores políticos involucrados.
