Abstract
A Portuguese historian once wrote, "international relations have multiple requirements that can only be
thought of on the basis of absolute realism and skilful calculation of currently available forces. Among
them is the strategic function of a territory, not only for the state that owns that territory but also the
appraisal of the interest it represents for other 'securities'. However, the strategic value of a territory will
only adds value to the State that holds it if that State has diplomatic skills and capacities to exploit the
conditions of the moment in order to ensure an advantage position."
