Abstract(s)
O perĆodo da Guerra Fria marcou um novo panorama polĆtico internacional, alicerƧado num modelo bipolar do Sistema Internacional, caracterizado pela rivalidade existente entre as duas superpotĆŖncias, EUA e URSS, que acabaram por se envolver num conflito assente em meios nĆ£o tradicionais, obrigando a uma reconsideraĆ§Ć£o da prĆ³pria doutrina das RelaƧƵes Internacionais.
Fortemente marcada pelo domĆnio do Realismo, como corrente epistemolĆ³gica mais estabelecida na explicaĆ§Ć£o da ordem internacional, esta Guerra, na impossibilidade de um confronto direto entre as potĆŖncias beligerantes, socorreu-se a Proxy Wars.
Aproveitando o surgimento do sentimento nacionalista e da condenaĆ§Ć£o internacional ao colonialismo, a Guerra Civil angolana, acabou por ser uma Proxy War, onde cada uma das potĆŖncias, apoiou um dos movimentos nacionalistas, com o objetivo de aumentar a sua Ć”rea de influĆŖncia e espalhar a sua ideologia, resultando num conflito que iria durar mais de duas dĆ©cadas.
Com base nesta realidade, este trabalho de investigaĆ§Ć£o e essencialmente demonstrativo, comeƧa por caracterizar as caracterĆsticas do Sistema Internacional durante esta Guerra, passando posteriormente a uma caracterizaĆ§Ć£o histĆ³rica e polĆtica interna de Angola, acabando com uma narraĆ§Ć£o da Guerra Civil angolana e o apoio efetivo que as potĆŖncias hegemĆ³nicas forneceram Ć Guerra Civil angolana, identificando-se esta como Proxy War.
The Cold War was not a mere period of international history; it constitute a paradigm of international order, grounded in the bipolar division of the international system, characterized by the rivalry between two superpowers, the US and the Soviet Union. These would eventually be involved in a non-conventional war which in turn has led many to reconsider International Relations theory as whole. Highly dominated by the realist explanatory model, which took hold of the field for a long time, this war would come to be seen as a case of a so-called āProxy Warā, a new concept which challenged the traditional understanding of war that since long dominated IR. In the midst of a growing and generalized nationalist wave, which entwined with the international consensus against colonialism, Angolaās civil war, can today be read as a āProxy Warā, a war in which each superpower was called in to support one side against the other with aim of increasing its sphere of influence and spread its ideology. This might explain why Angolaās civil war did not stop after the country gained independence, lasting over two decades. This research begins by characterizing the international system during this war, and then goes on to offer a historical and political picture of Angola, ending up with a narrative of Angolaās civil war and the effective support that hegemonic powers have invested in that war, turning it into a paradigmatic case of a Proxy War.
