O reerguimento da Rússia, os EUA/OTAN e a crise da Ucrânia: a Geopolítica da nova Ordem Mundial
Abstract
This paper examines important aspects of the international scene in the early 21st century from a geopolitical point of view, highlighting the process of return of Russia as a great power. The approach combines regional geography, geopolitics, history and theory of international relations and seeks to focus on the analysis of relevant aspects of Russian history, from the Tsarist period, via the socialism of the USSR, the decline after 1991, the return from 2000 and the current regional and global political power strategy, which is highlighted in its rivalry with the US / NATO and the conflict with Ukraine. In addition to the analysis of this journey, it seeks to understand the particular mode of action of the great powers in their constant struggle to maintain and extend aspects of their world power, especially in the last two decades. He points at the same time to the remarkable revival of ther geopolitical point of view and its ability to untangle the complex web of international relations policy in the context of the current transition from one world order to another, previously designated as tripolar.
