| Resumo: | Angola, after the end of the Civil War in 2002, rises as an important pole of power on the African Continent. In this context, the South Atlantic presents itself as an important environment for regional and global interaction. Likewise, the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) is a regional cooperation forum that has the sea as one of its unifying factors. Despite this, Angola does not play a leading role in the Community. The question that guides this research is how Angola's participation in the CPLP can be an instrument of its regional projection. It is assumed that Angola's difficulties in structuring a maritime policy have a negative impact on its role within the Community. The general objective of the article is to analyze Angola's post-Civil War foreign policy, especially in the South Atlantic issues and participation in the CPLP. The research is qualitative, with a hypothetical-deductive method, with a historical and comparative approach; for that, bibliographic and documental research will be used. It is concluded that the flaws in Angolan politics and the institutional difficulties of the CPLP make it difficult for Angola to participate in the Community.
