O podstatě atlantismu a možnosti vzniku Organizace jihoatlantické smlouvy (SATO)

Abstract

The idea of foundation of the Organization of South Atlantic Treaty (SATO) was raised during the last Summit of the Heads of State and Governments of Africa and South America (ASA) (22.–27. 9. 09). Both, Colonels Kaddafí (Lybia) and Chávez (Venezuela) agreed on the need to protect the interests of the two continents from the hegemonic attempts of the (neo)colonial powers. This article deals with the question that SATO would eventually come into existence. From three perspectives of theories of international relations (realism, liberalism, constructivism), we fi nd unlikely that any security institution similar of NATO might develop in the southern Atlantic.
