Abstract

In a context in which energy resources are scarce on the planet, the Atlantic emerges as a space of growing competition not only in terms of food (fisheries), but also energy security. Portugal, which has one of the largest exclusive economic zones in the world (and may even double its maritime platform) faces nowadays new challenges in a space of increasing importance at the geopolitical and strategic level. Based on this context, this chapter intends to study Portuguese maritime priorities within the Atlantic, with a special focus on the challenges and opportunities generated by the growing Chinese presence in the Atlantic.
