Abstract
Considering the specificity of the common security conditions between the territorial units that make up the interface between the Brazilian Eastern Amazonia (Pará, Amapá) and the region of the Guianas (French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana), comparative characterization efforts, conceptual questioning and critical considerations about such a regional sub-complex are the focus of this contribution in conference.
