- Abstract
The present doctoral thesis aims to analyse and emphasize the antecedents and consequences of the general environment regarding the interpretation of the conflict that led to Angola's final peace process, on April 4, 2002. The conflict will be analysed under four different, as well as simultaneously complex and interrelated conceptions: the national independence struggle; the regional conflict; its initial cold war context; and the internal conflict in itself which followed. The whole of the relational dynamics resulting from their interactions involved are examined, throughout the text, as increasingly inscribed in the wider framework of an Angolan foreign policy which emerged as ever more autonomous in its rooting. The focus of this work is always placed on this process of emergence. The present work will seek to identify which direction present research efforts point to, namely whether there are predominant analytical trends or if, instead, the four analytical strands here identified are aligned and generate an evolutionary explanation to what the conflict which brought about the Angola we know stood for.
