Abstract

The Azores Archipelago has from very early on played an essential role in transatlantic relations and, in particular, in the bilateral relationship of Portugal with the United States and of Europe with North America. Our research, through a qualitative and hermeneutic analysis, aims to take stock of the most important stages, the difficulties, the solutions found and the challenges faced in transatlantic relations, exploring the centrality of the Azores, mainly at the scientific and geopolitical level.
