Abstract
Este artigo discute a conceção de “Indo-Pacífico” e
analisa as justificações subjacentes ao uso deste
novo léxico por alguns atores em substituição de
“Ásia-Pacífico”, argumentando que as motivações
são de natureza geopolítica e relacionadas, sobretudo, com o “fator China”. O texto está dividido em
três partes. A primeira apresenta as principais perspetivas e abordagens acerca da nascente “região
Indo-Pacífico”. A segunda explica o “fator China” e
o seu impacto nas perceções e políticas dos outros
atores. A terceira e última parte analisa as narrativas dos principais proponentes da conceção Indo--Pacífico, evidenciando as suas motivações geopolíticas e as ambivalências que lhe estão associadas.
A fechar, as considerações finais sintetizam os nossos argumentos e perspetivam as possibilidades da
noção Indo-Pacífico se consolidar como nova referência regional.
