The book presents a comprehensive and original analysis from a Brazilian perspective of both traditional and emerging topics related to the so-called "El Dorados of the 21st century" Amazonia and Antarctica. By gathering distinguished scholars, the resulting set of high-level findings, stemming from multiple epistemological standpoints, provides important and innovative insights into the wide-ranging geopolitical impacts of issues concerning these unique strategic ecosystems to the contemporary international environment. The result is a sophisticated response to the following questions: what were, are, and will be the contributions of Brazilian geopolitical thinking on these two themes? Additionally, from this intellectual exercise, how do we interpret the role of Antarctica and Amazonia in shaping the current asymmetrical transnational architecture of power?
