A intenção da pesquisa é mostrar a complexidade e conectividade que levaram a criação e manutenção de uma guerra em rede. Argumenta-se que houve um continuum transnacional de fatores e atores que possibilitaram sucessivas deliberações a favor da continuação do conflito. O levantamento detalhado e multidimensional demonstra a inadequação das missões de paz baseadas em paradigmas de outra era para solucionar problemas de uma nova era, caracterizada em nível sistêmico pela globalização, pela instrumentalização da desordem e comercialização da política em nível estatal, e por lideranças calculistas-racionais no nível do indivíduo. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This dissertation has as its object of analysis the historical and socio-economic context of the Organization of the United Nations peacekeeping missions in Angola, seen from the perspective of four descriptive and paradigmatic theoretical sets: (i) proxy wars, (ii) African political culture; (iii) poverty; and (iv) natural resources as a source of conflicts, in the context of what International Relations literature labeled as new wars, at the end of the XXth century. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the complexity and connectivity that allowed the creation and maintenance of a network war. I argue that there was a continuum network of transnational factors and actors that made successive deliberations in favor of the continuation of the conflict possible. Through a detailed and multidimensional overview, I demonstrate the inadequacy of peacekeeping missions based on another eras paradigm to solve new era problems, characterized by globalization in the systemic level, state instrumentalization of disorder and commercialization of politics in the state level, and rationalistic-calculating leaderships in the individual level.

The blacktail, Diplodus capensis, is an inshore sparid fish distributed from Mozambique to Angola. This species forms an important component of coastal fisheries within its distribution, one being the subsistence handline fishery in southern Angola. With this fishery being critically important to the livelihoods of local communities, a biological study and stock assessment was conducted to provide information for the management of this species in southern Angola. However, with molecular evidence suggesting that the Benguela current may have separated the southern African populations of many inshore fish species over two million years ago, a morphological, taxonomic analysis was considered necessary to first investigate whether there was evidence for allopatry in this species. A total of 46 morphometric measurements and 18 counts were carried out on specimens collected from various locations in southern Angola and South Africa. Results were analysed using multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) and the significance of clusters was tested using analysis of similarities (ANOSIM). Biological samples of D. capensis were collected monthly from an unexploited area from April 2008 to March 2009. Additional biological samples were collected from the subsistence fishers in an exploited area during May, June and December 2009. Standard biological laboratory techniques were employed for the lifehistory comparison between the exploited and unexploited area. A per-recruit analysis was conducted using the life-history parameters from both areas in order to assess the current status of the subsistence fishery and to investigate the potential short-falls of the per-recruit assessment approach. The morphometric comparison showed that there was not sufficient evidence for speciation between the southern Angolan and South African populations of D. capensis. There was, however, sufficient morphological evidence to suggest that these populations are separate stocks. This indicated that the existing reference points on which the management of the South African population is based are unsuitable for the Angolan population. Diplodus capensis in southern Angola is omnivorous, feeding predominantly on algae, barnacles and mussels. An ontogenetic shift from algae to barnacles and mussels was correlated with allometric growth patterns in their feeding apparatus. This species is a rudimentary hermaphrodite in southern Angola with peak spawning in June and July. The overall sex ratio (M: F) was 1: 4.7 in the unexploited area and 50% maturity was attained at 149.5mm FL and five years. Diplodus capensis in southern Angola exhibits very slow growth with the maximum age observed being 31 years (validated using mark recapture of chemically injected fish). Females [L(t) = 419.5(1-e⁻°·°⁴⁵⁽t⁻³·⁴ ⁾)] grew significantly faster (LRT, p < 0.05) than males [L(t) = 297.4(1-e⁻°·°⁷⁷⁽t⁻²·⁷⁾)], and females dominated the larger size classes and older age classes. In the exploited area, the length and age frequencies were severely truncated, the maximum observed age was greatly reduced (17 years) and the sex ratio was less female biased at 1: 2.2. Although there was no evidence for a physiological response to exploitation through alterations in growth or size/age at sexual maturity between the two areas, there was an increase in the proportion of small females in the exploited area, which may have been a compensatory response for the loss of large females. A combination of an underestimate of longevity, different estimates of the Von Bertalanffy growth parameters and overestimates of the natural mortality rate in the exploited population resulted in a 92% underestimate of the pristine spawner biomass-per-recruit (SBR) value. An assessment based on the actual pristine SBR estimate from the unexploited area revealed that the subsistence fishery had actually reduced D. capensis to 20% of its pristine SBR levels and highlighted the value of pre-exploitation life-history information for the application of per-recruit models. This study has shown that D. capensis in southern Angola displays life-history characteristics that render it susceptible to overexploitation, even at low levels of fishing pressure. The current lack of infrastructure and enforcement capacity in the fisheries department of Angola renders traditional linefish regulatory tools, such as size limits, bag limits and closed seasons, inappropriate. Therefore, suitably designed marine protected areas are recommended as the best management option for this species.

Considerando que as identificações são múltiplas, fluidas e intercambiáveis, busca-se refletir sobre as categorias de nomeação e outras estratégias sutis de diferenciação, e o modo como a indumentária, enquanto um signo de comunicação visual que torna públicas e visíveis as concepções estéticas e os diversos aspectos da vida social a ela vinculados, expressa experiências cotidianas compartilhadas e constitutivas dos processos de delimitação do pertencimento.<br> / Abstract : This dissertation presents as central subject the processes of identity claim and demarcation of ethnic boundaries in the region of Curoca, Southwest Angola, and aims to discuss how different esthetic elements, publicly displayed on the body, update processes of identification and ethnic distinction. Considering that identifications are multiple, fluid and interchangeable, reflections about nominating categories and other fine strategies of distinction are carried out, as well as a discussion of how dress and body adornment, regarded as a sign of visual communication that render public and visible some esthetic concepts and the diverse aspects of social life related to them, articulate shared everyday experiences that comprise the process of defining membership.

Essa dissertação de Mestrado propõe considerações teórico-metodológicas para a análise da manifestação da identidade étnica em Angola. Ela refuta as teorias primordialistas e suas metodologias de pesquisa de campo e considera as teorias mobilizacionistas e instrumentalistas as mais capazes de explicar o fenômeno étnico e identitário em suas múltiplas manifestações contemporâneas. No entanto, não desconsidera a dimensão subjetiva e emocional da identidade. Trabalha alguns conceitos fundamentais para o estudo das sociedades africanas, como situação colonial e descolonização, e expõe três cenários que afetam na manifestação da identidade étnica: competição política, urbanização e guerra civil. Por fim, sustenta a hipótese de que a identidade étnica é a categorização identitária são fenômenos muito presentes da sociedade e política angolanas desde a independência. / The present Masters degree dissertation proposes theoretical and methodological considerations for the analyse of ethnical identity manifestation in Africa. It refuses the primordialist theories and its methodologies and consideres the mobilzationist and instrumentalist theories more capable of explaining the ethnical and identitary phenomenon in its many contemporary manifestations. It doesnt ignores though the subjective and emotional dimension of ethnicity. It works a few elementary concepts to the approach to african societies, as colonial situations and decolonization, and it exposes three scenarios which affects the ethnical identity manifestation: political competition, urbanization and civil war. Finally, it holds the hypothesis that ethnic identitty and identitary categorization are very present phenomenons at Angolas politics and society since the independence period.

O presente trabalho versa a temática da cultura organizacional escolar numa perspectiva da história da educação. Toma por objecto de estudo a formação de professores em Angola, especificamente com o caso do Instituto Garcia Neto, em Luanda, no período histórico de 1975 a 2009. O estudo da formação de professores consistiu na análise dos currículos da formação de professores do 1º ciclo do ensino secundário de maneira a contribuir para o desenvolvimento da pessoa do professor e a sua integração social, de maneira a caracterizar a situação do Instituto Normal Garcia Neto, no que se refere aos perfis de entrada e de saída dos seus formandos, analisando os mecanismos utilizados durante a preparação do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Ainda visou-se comparar os dados quantitativos da formação de professores do IGN no período de 1978 a 2009, constatar a organização do processo docente educativo do Instituto e analisar a participação dos alunos no cumprimento dos planos curriculares. O universo documental deste trabalho de investigação foi recolhido no Instituto Normal Garcia Neto, situado na rua Albano Machado nº 82 em Luanda, Ministério da Educação de Angola, Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo, na Universidade de Coimbra e Museu do Forte de Peniche. A metodologia da investigação assentou na análise documental, entrevista a alguns directores, professores e alunos do Instituto e na análise sociográfica de gerações de alunos admitidos.
