Angola's Foreign Policy and Current Strategies

In order to study current Angolan foreign policy strategies, considering the 41 years since its independence, the study presents two models to analyze the two forms of Angolan international insertion. The first applies to the period from 1975 to 1991 and the second from 1992 to 2016. It questions how Angola formulated its strategic interests over these periods and what the reflexes of the strategies conducted were on its foreign and domestic policy. Although most studies on Angolan foreign policy take a more historical perspective, the study accepts this historical premise and argues that the relations built with the great powers were a fundamental factor in its proactive external action in African regional affairs and a prominent actor in international relations in general.
