    The multiple viewpoints for the Amazon: geographic limits and meanings
    (2021-09-20)
    The geographic term “Amazon” describes several distinct but overlapping hydrological, geological, biological, and geopolitical entities located in northern South America (Albert et al. 2018). It is therefore useful to distinguish the Amazon as a drainage basin, a sedimentary basin, a biodiversity province, and a geopolitical unit. This report describes the multiple boundaries and definitions of the geographical area called "the Amazon".

    Antarctica in the wider context of Brazilian geopolitical thinking
    (Taylor & Francis, 2026-01-01)
    This paper examines how Antarctic considerations have evolved across four phases of Brazilian geopolitical thought. Drawing on primary texts and academic literature, it situates Antarctic discourse within Brazil's broader geopolitical trajectory and historical shifts. Using a historical and analytical approach, it traces continuity and change, showing how geopolitical narratives shaped Brazil's Antarctic engagement. Antarctica emerged as a topic only after World War II, when Brazilian geopolitical thinking broadened its scope to a global scale and integrated maritime space. Across this trajectory, Antarctica remained a distant yet related space – linked to Brazil through strategic, economic, and environmental concerns – and was framed more as a resource for development and projection than as a central element of national identity. The persistence of ideas such as the frontage theory underscores the enduring impact of early geopolitical models, even as newer perspectives bring science, environmental governance, and South–South cooperation without introducing a distinct theoretical renewal. Despite growing academic attention, critical geopolitics remains underdeveloped in Brazil, limiting reflection on the relevance of classical frameworks. By tracing this trajectory, the study underscores the significance of national perspectives in understanding the evolving regional and Antarctic orders.

    265 Migration and health research in turbulent times: navigating and strengthening evidence and politics, for improved evidence-based policy across regions
    (Oxford University Press, 2025-12-01)
    WKS 27: Impact of a changing political environment on research on migration and health in Europe and Latin America: Challenges and opportunities, B305 (FCSH), September 5, 2025, 09:00 - 10:00 Amidst rising political polarization and widespread funding cuts, migration and health research is increasingly constrained, with growing implications for evidence-informed policymaking. This round table convenes experts from the European and Latin American Regional Hubs of Lancet Migration, a global initiative launched following the 2018 UCL–Lancet Commission on Migration and Health and from WHO Health and Migration to reflect on how best to jointly respond to these challenges. The session aims to foster dialogue on how researchers can respond to today's complex geopolitical realities and safeguard the integrity and impact of migration health research. Guided by the WHO Research Agenda on health, migration and displacement and its implementation, the discussion will explore global, regional and national experiences and strategies for adapting to shifting priorities, and the role of research agenda setting in a constrained funding environment. Panellists will examine the role of researchers and policy makers in prioritising the topic of health and migration in politically unstable environments, the use of evidence and opportunities for translation by policymakers, and the ethical tensions surrounding objectivity and independence in research. This session underscores that evidence dissemination and translation into policy in migration and health is under threat. It calls for collective action by global academics and policy makers to anticipate and respond to evolving political and financial pressures to continue to prioritise this topic. By sharing cross-regional and global insights and strengthening networks, the round table seeks to equip researchers with tools to remain effective and resilient in their work—despite mounting external constraints.
