Resumo

Estudos recentes apontam alguns efeitos da colonialidade, um elemento fundamental da política internacional, na busca por Segurança Ontológica (SO). No entanto, a extensão do impacto do ambiente externo sobre a segurança ontológica precisa ser abordada à luz dos recentes desenvolvimentos e contribuições críticas para a literatura sobre segurança ontológica nas Relações Internacionais. Este ensaio teórico explora como a compreensão da ordem internacional influencia os processos da busca por segurança ontológica através de uma lente descolonial e uma abordagem crítica e dialógica. Argumenta-se que a busca por segurança ontológica (re)produz estruturas de poder, discursos e histórias que afetam o senso de segurança ontológica de um ator. Logo, a colonialidade diretamente influencia esse processo ao moldar as subjetividades e relações dos atores, afetando a compreensão de suas fronteiras securitárias. A contribuição central consiste na articulação original dos conceitos de segurança ontológica, ordem internacional e colonialidade, fornecendo uma estrutura argumentativa que pode informar futuras análises teóricas e empíricas.
