About the Book

The book presents a comprehensive and original analysis from a Brazilian perspective of both traditional and emerging topics related to the so-called “El Dorados of the 21st century”: Amazonia and Antarctica. By gathering distinguished scholars, the resulting set of high-level findings, stemming from multiple epistemological standpoints, provides important and innovative insights into the wide-ranging geopolitical impacts of issues concerning these unique strategic ecosystems to the contemporary international environment. The result is a sophisticated response to the following questions: what were, are, and will be the contributions of Brazilian geopolitical thinking on these two themes? Additionally , from this intellectual exercise, how do we interpret the role of Antarctica and Amazonia in shaping the current asymmetrical transnational architecture of power?

Review :
“ Bringing together Amazonia and Antarctica in a single multidisciplinary volume, this book provides valuable information on the significance as well as governance challenges that these regions present to Brazil. In so doing, it launches a valuable call not only for Brazil to assume a more active geo-ecological role, but also for the development of a more integrated geopolitical perspective on governing the Anthropocene, one that is destined to enrich scholarly and policy dialogues both within Brazil and internationally." “Ana Flavia Barros-Platiau, Fábio Albergaria de Queiroz, and Guilherme Lopes da Cunha, editors of Brazil in the Geopolitics of Amazonia and Antarctica, begin their study from a seemingly counterintuitive perspective: that Amazonia and Antarctica are somehow linked and that Brazil, with ties to both, is destined to play a pivotal role in global climate geopolitics. Yet they succeeded admirably in delineating the common challenges posed by these regions to global climate stability--and showing how excessive resource consumption impedes our ability to overcome these challenges (with Brazil a primary focus). Must reading for anyone seeking a holistic view of global climate geopolitics.”
