One Atlantic, many perspectives, valuing diversity in the age of competition

This volume brings together eleven original chapters that offer a wide range of reflections and analyses on the Atlantic space, shared during the 5th edition of the LPAZ Forum, held from September 5–7, 2024, on Santa Maria Island, in the Archipelago of the Azores, Portugal. The chapters address the Atlantic Ocean’s evolving importance for global affairs across different ages and the Azores’ role as a natural archipelago in the North Atlantic, whose history and stories help us understand the status of liminality experienced by these places and these people.

The analysis mobilizes knowledge from the social sciences and the humanities, as well as from different latitudes in the Atlantic, establishing a fruitful and multifaceted dialogue across diverse perspectives. By exploring the potential of the Azores as an illustration of these dynamics, this book continues to raise awareness of these experiences, often made invisible by sea-blindness and distance. Through these Atlantic narratives, the volume adds to the growing body of literature on oceanic regions and their layered, complex realities. Published as a bilingual edition in English and French, it reflects the cultural diversity of the Atlantic world and aspires to reach a wide and varied audience.
