AGUIAR, Mônica Heinzelmann Portella de. Tripartite periodization of the Antarctic Treaty system from a systemic perspective. Relac. int. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.56, pp.39-58. ISSN 2314-2766.

In 1959, twelve countries with a strong record of interest in Antarctica signed a Treaty allowing accessibility to all signatories wishing to conduct peaceful scientific research. The Antarctic Treaty established science and international cooperation as its cornerstones but raised controversies because of its hosting of sovereignty claims over Antarctic territory. This research aims to fill a gap in literature proposing a strict periodization of the Antarctic Treaty System under a systemic perspective. The paper also examines Brazil's accession to the Treaty. Using as indicators of legitimacy the increase in membership and the transparency of decision-making processes, the author argues that the Antarctic Treaty System has come to be recognized as a legitimate international regime
