In this doctoral project, we propose to analyze the correlation between autonomy and security in indigenous communities in the borderlands of the Upper Rio Negro, located between Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. We seek to understand the complex relationships among state, non-state actors, and local communities, in a context where regional geopolitical dynamics intertwine with the aspirat…

We intend to understand the relationship between this movement and Russian foreign policy in the 21st century. We start from the assumption that the main goal of Russian foreign policy is to reclaim Moscow's status as a great international power and it uses its military force, directly and indire…

From this perspective, the military forces are restricted to the interaction with their counterparts at the international sphere, sinc…
