| Summary: | The Russian Federation and China are large land States (the first and fourth, respectively), characterized by their configuration as land powers from a geopolitical perspective. Recently, through its development and extroversion of its economy, China has built a naval power with a world presence. Russia, on the other hand, which lost much of the naval and coastal power that the USSR had, is trying to rebuild its capacity for maritime defense and exploration of the new Arctic Route, but still with limited global projection. By analyzing the recent naval projection of these traditional land powers, the article seeks to discuss the extent to which traditional geopolitics is reaching its zenith and initiating its own overcoming A Federação Russa e a China são Estados terrestres de grandes dimensões (o primeiro e o quarto, respectivamente), caracterizados por sua configuração como potências terrestres, na perspectiva geopolítica. Recentemente, por seu desenvolvimento e extroversão de sua economia, a China tem construído um poder naval de presença mundial. Já a Rússia, que perdeu boa parte do poder naval e do litoral de que dispunha a URSS, tenta reconstruir sua capacidade de defesa marítima e de exploração da nova Rota do Ártico, mas ainda com limitada projeção global. Ao analisar a projeção naval recente dessas tradicionais potências terrestres, o artigo busca discutir até que ponto a tradicional geopolítica estaria atingindo o seu zênite e iniciando sua própria superação. |
