Abstract

MADEIRA, João Paulo. Security Challenges for Small Island Developing States: The Case of Cape Verde. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.2, pp.155-177. ISSN 1909-3063.  https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.3756.

This article is an exploratory, descriptive study, with a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach. It integrates concepts and perspectives of contemporary history, international relations, and security studies. Its main aim is to analyse security issues in Africa, taking as a reference the Cape Verde archipelago, which is part of the group of Small Island Developing States. This matter suggests a wider multidimensional approach that prioritizes the intersection of data obtained from a critical analysis in order to deepen regional cooperation and integration mechanisms. This can provide the Cape Verdean state with strategic options to prevent and mitigate potential security threats.

Keywords : Africa; Cape Verde; Small Island Developing States; development and security.
