    Rivalidade hegemônica e sociedade civil no Golfo da Guiné no século XXI HENRY KAM KAH Resumo: Este texto examina o envolvimento crucial das grandes potências na identificação e exploração de recursos naturais e humanos no estratégico Golfo da Guiné localizado na África. Por variadas razões, tal intervenção produziu esferas de influência hegemônica e confrontos neocoloniais de vários tipos. A guerra de palavras e outras práticas pouco ortodoxas iniciadas por esses poderes e apoiadas por alguns de seus representantes africanos desencadeou uma crescente mobilização de organizações da sociedade civil. Palavras-chave: África. Golfo da Guiné; Neocolonialismo; Sociedade Civil. Hegemonic rivalry and emerging civil society in the Gulf of Guinea in the 21st century Abstract: This paper examined the critical engagement of the major powers in the identification and exploitation of natural and human resources in the strategically located Gulf of Guinea, in Africa. For multifarious reasons, this intervention has produced spheres of hegemonic influence and neo-colonial clashes of various kinds. The war of words and other unorthodox practices initiated by these powers and supported by some African surrogates has unleashed a growing mobilisation of civil society organisations.
