Abstract	:	This Thesis examines the factors that have helped to shape Brazilian ocean policyover the last half century emphasising changes in political thought, the driving forcesbehind the globalisation of an ocean regime, national security concerns, strategicrelationships, resources and geopolitics. It focuses on the changes that enticed Brazil torevise its ocean policy, and when and how traditional limitations still impact on theexercise of the country's attitudes on ocean affairs.Attention is centred on how Brazil has utilised the Third United NationsConference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 111) and other international conferences topursue national interests, and how its experience there has affected its domestic oceanpolicy. Policy considerations which underlie the development of the country's positions inexternal negotiations on the law of the sea include those relating to a hard-line unilateralterritorialist policy narrowly connected with security (in its traditional terms), whichdovetailed with an increasingly acceptance of an international ocean regime. Related tothese there is an appraisal of Brazil's positions on coastal States' rights over the 200-milezone with particular emphasis in the significant trends across time and space.As Brazil seeks to redefine its role in the post-Cold-War era a combination ofnew and old elements are again determining the future roles and character of its oceanpolicy and its approach to the South Atlantic as a whole. Factors contributing to thisreorientation, and thus to the continuing evolution of the country's ocean policy, arediscussed.Findings are used to suggest that the same combination of elements, in differentproportions and at different pace is continuously provoking a dramatic change incollective values that may result in changes in contextual and situational factors. Nationaland international arenas are increasingly interwoven, setting a complex framework forcurrent national ocean policy-making.
