Critica a posição das teorias que consideram um fenômeno interno que causa uma perturbação sistêmica, enfocando o caso das Revoluções Africanas da década de 1970. Explora a dimensão internacional das mesmas, considerando seu impacto no tocante ao fim da Guerra Fria, mesmo tendo ocorrido na periferia do sistema mundo.

What is the place of revolutions in International Relations? Do they comprise of a dysfunction within the world system? Here, we propose to discuss this question, focusing on the African revolutions of the 1970s
In 1966, the same happened with the South West Africa’s People Organization (SWAPO) in Namibia, after South Africa refused to return to the UN this territory it was running in fideicommissum; and with the ZAPU and ZANU, following the declaration of independence of Rhodesia by the whites
Summary
In 1974, during the oil crisis, two apparently disconnected events shook the African continent and placed it at the center of the international agenda. The ‘Late Revolutions’ (1970s-1980s) happened during the crisis and the transformation of the economy and the world system, having important effects but becoming victims of the ‘End of History’ (Fukuyama), as if the end of the Cold War had declared void to their impacts It is remarkable how few academics know little about the processes that marked these two decades, seeing only China and Vietnam as ‘reformed’ post-revolutionary States, and Iran, Cuba and North Korea as ‘renegade States’. Halliday suggests four instruments that might be used as research elements: a) cause: to what extent the ‘international’ produces the revolution; b) foreign policy: how revolutionary states lead their relations with other nations; c) answers: what is the reaction of other States; d) formation: in a longer period, how the international factors and the world system constrain the post-revolutionary internal development of States and influence their political, social and economic evolution. Revolutions and international relations: the African case in international relations of profound systemic impacts, and quickly turned into an internationalized revolution (and a counterrevolution) (Chan & Williams 1994)
