""Perceptions of NATO and the New Strategic Concept, published by IOS Press, addresses how NATO and its mission are perceived today in the world to assess the challenges the Organization is facing in the near future and to debate what could be its role in the 21st century.
This book deals with the evolution of the Alliance towards a transatlantic ‘hub’ and analyzes the importance of communications in NATO’s current campaign in Afghanistan. Key features are NATO’s durability, the future of the Alliance, and NATO’s role as a guarantee of Peace and Security in the South Caucasus.
This book answers the following questions: How is NATO perceived in member and so-called partner countries such as Russia and Georgia, with regards to models, policies and strategies?; and: What do the younger generations born after the end of the Cold War think of the Atlantic Alliance in the present and its role in the future?""

In the early 1960s, the US government and some private organizations developed close contacts with Angolan nationalist movements. In Washington, this policy gained momentum with the new African policy followed by the Kennedy administration
in 1961. Kennedy wanted to extend the ‘new frontier’ to Africa and his administration adopted a policy of favouring self-determination and independence of former colonial territories in that continent. This African policy had several aspects, from the votes and public statements in the United Nations to the increased investment in educational programmes for future African leaders and to the close contacts with those leaders and organizations that could play a decisive role in the future of African nations.

The election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy as the 35th President of the United States in November 1960 had been a matter of serious concern for the Portuguese government, led by 71-year old dictator Oliveira Salazar since 1932. The major problem after Kennedy took office, according to Portuguese Ambassador in Washington, Luis Esteves Fernandes, would be the “official adoption” by the United States of an “anticolonial policy, subordinated to the principle of liberation for all dependent territories.” These fears would come true in March 1961, when Kennedy decided that the United States mission at the United Nations (USUN) should vote favorably on a resolution creating a special commission to investigate the situation in Angola. This resolution was voted on the same day that the nationalists of the União dos Povos de Angola (UPA) launched a major attack against Portuguese settlers and administrative posts in Northern Angola, initiating a war that would last until 1974.

O objectivo desta comunicação foi caracterizar a visão americana da ordem internacional durante a presidência de Richard Nixon, ou seja, entre 1969 e 1974. Partindo do princípio de que a preponderância dos Estados Unidos no sistema internacional estava consideravelmente atenuada, os responsáveis políticos norte-americanos promoveram, durante este período, uma nova visão da ordem internacional na qual a tradicional organização bipolar cedeu lugar a uma outra, de características multipolares. A esta nova ordem internacional precisaram os Estados Unidos de adaptar a sua política externa.
