Austral: Brazilian Journal of Strategy and International Relations

Aims & Scope

The journal publishes original articles related to the areas of Strategic Studies and International Relations, with a special interest in issues surrounding developing countries and South-South Cooperation – its security problems; the political, economic, and diplomatic developments of emerging countries; and their relations with the traditional powers. The content of the journal consists of in-depth analytical articles written by experts (Professors and Doctors), focusing on each of the great continents of the South: Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Thus, the debate and diffusion of knowledge produced in these regions are stimulated.
