Portugal and the Lusophone World

Abstract

Faced with an increasingly polarized international system, due to the rivalry of the United States with the People's Republic of China and the intransigent defence of its living space by the Russian Federation, the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) struggles with the geostrategic dilemmas of its member states. The question is to what extent the CPLP consolidates itself as a multi-continental organization capable of maximizing the power of its member states and influencing the international system. The conclusion is that it is possible to state the exercise of a CPLP Soft Power on a global scale, under the effect of a Portugal-Brazil-Angola strategic triangle. It is a geopolitical and geostrategic assessment, based on bibliographic and documental elements.
