O objetivo da presente dissertação é de analisar o papel desempenhado pela Ilha de Santa Maria no panorama internacional, desde a sua descoberta ou “redescoberta” até aos presentes dias. Será examinado na literatura disponível, as referências internacionais efetuadas aos Açores e por inerência a Santa Maria, abordando os vários episódios em que a ilha teve uma relação transatlântica com outros povos no contexto histórico, estratégico e geopolítico, referindo os seus acontecimentos históricos mais relevantes até à chegada do seu período áureo: a construção da base área americana na Segunda Guerra Mundial e os seus propósitos. Simultaneamente interpretar-se-á os vários acontecimentos paralelos que decorreram no decurso da guerra no xadrez geopolítico e militar de então. Posteriormente, será narrado a sua posição desde a guerra “fria” até à atualidade, quer na perspetiva internacional, quer na perspetiva nacional. Será também analisado as alternativas que a ilha procurou/procura para sobreviver à insularidade que as suas dimensões e localização acentuam no campo da modernidade. No final pretender-se-á com o presente estudo apurar qual foi a verdadeira importância estratégica da ilha ao longo do tempo para Portugal, se essa relevância continua a verificar-se nos dias de hoje e se no futuro desempenhará um papel geopolítico relevante, fruto da sua posição geográfica no Atlântico. A presente investigação é efetuada pelo método qualitativo da análise documental. A metodologia utilizada para estudar os diferentes documentos é baseada numa análise interpretativa e crítica, dos factos coligidos em fontes primárias e bibliografia crítica, procurando no decorrer do artigo, abordar todos os dados disponíveis, alguns desclassificados há poucos anos, questionando até que ponto a Ilha de Santa Maria teve/tem um papel preponderante nas relações transatlânticas de Portugal com os restantes atores internacionais.
ABSTRACT: The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the role played by the island of Santa Maria in the international panorama, from its discovery or "rediscovery" to the present day. It will be examined in the available literature, the international references made to the Azores and inherently to Santa Maria, addressing the various episodes in which the island had a transatlantic relationship with other peoples in the historical, strategic and geopolitical context, referring to its most relevant historical events until the arrival of its golden period: the construction of the American air base in World War II and its purposes. At the same time, the various parallel events that took place during the war will be interpreted in the geopolitical and military chess of the time. Subsequently, its position from the "cold war" to the present day will be narrated, both from an international and national perspective. It will also be analyzed the alternatives that the island sought/seeks to survive the insularity that its dimensions and location accentuate in the field of modernity. In the end, the aim of this study will be to ascertain what was the true strategic importance of the island over time for Portugal, if this relevance continues to exist today and if in the future it will play a relevant geopolitical role, as a result of its geographical position in the Atlantic. The present research is carried out by the qualitative method of document analysis. The methodology used to study the different documents is based on an interpretative and critical analysis of the facts collected in primary sources and critical bibliography, seeking throughout the article, to address all the available data, some of which were declassified a few years ago, questioning to what extent the island of Santa Maria had/has a preponderant role in Portugal's transatlantic relations with other international actors.
