Book Description
The Amazon region is considered a strategic area thanks its geographic characteristics, wealth and potential threats. The Brazilian national defense policy, issued in 1996, the first in the history of the country, established directives to orient the Brazilian military strategic planning as well as diplomatic positions concerning international security. Moreover, this document introduced the concept of sustainable defense that relates the security of the State with the well being of society. This new concept points out that defense, even based on military means; requires participation of society as a whole. This project describes the main aspects that influence the elaboration process of defense policy at international and Brazilian State levels. It also describes the problems of the Amazon as well as the coordinated, integrated and harmonic actions of Brazilian military, diplomatic, scientific people in general that are taking place throughout the country to assure that Brazil has an effective and sustainable defense capability of the Amazon area, within a concept of a continent of peace.

Book Description
The authoritarian military regime which has governed Brazil since 1964 is guided by a philosophy referred to as the 'national security doctrine, ' which conditions the leadership's view of the world and how it defines the domestic and international interest and priorities of Brazil. Its origins, contents, diffusion, and impact on society is central to an understanding of civilian-military relations and the formulation of policy in Brazil today. (Author).

Book Description
This thesis analyzes the factors that have contributed to the reshaping of Brazil's national defense strategy. It addresses the role of geopolitics, the impact of regional economic integration through Mercosur, renewed nationalism, and the uncertain political realistic facing Brazil in the 1990s. Further sections review the historical role of the Brazilian armed forces, the fading importance of the Superior War College, the new civil- military relationships, and the concept of strategic planning in Brazil. Lastly, it examines the dilemma facing Brazil's armed forces in attempting to move from an internal to external security orientation. It discusses the military mission to develop and integrate the Amazon, and argues that this nation-building mission is in its final phase. In assessing he implications, of all these factors, the study concludes that Brazil is restructuring its military strategy to demonstrate sovereignty in the Amazon while aspiring to occupy the role of regional hegemon.

Book Description
This volume examines the connection between culture and defence by providing an inside look at Brazil’s aerospace strategies. Brazil is becoming increasingly important geopolitically, and several studies have sought to further understanding of this new position in the international arena. This volume aims to provide a better understanding of the Brazilian nation, its security dilemmas, and how the country seeks to develop its defence training process and improve its professional military education. Organised into two parts, the chapters offer academic dialogues on several aspects of this topic, including public politics and the law, joint operations, human factors and the government interchanges with industry. The first section analyses Brazilian defence policy and strategy, discussing different aspects of aerospace power and Brazilian security perspectives. Chapters discuss the relationship between Brazil and the United States, which blend aspects of the generation of knowledge, science, technology and innovation, and point to economic issues and the Defence Industrial Base. Specific implications of the Brazilian air space, compared with Europe and the United States, also are exposed. In addition, a vision of cyberspace implications for the national power, a present-day question for the entire planet, is also presented. Thereafter, the second section looks at specific aspects of professional military education and explains the Brazilian approach to strengthening its aerospace power. This includes military education and performance, interdisciplinary studies, working jointly, multivariate analysis and cases. This book will be of much interest to students of military studies, defence studies, gender issues, crises management and decision making, Latin American politics and International Relations in general.

Book Description
Brazil does not presently have an IW doctrine capable of combating the existing and future threats to its national integrity, and Brazil will be unable to achieve its security objectives without an IW doctrine. Brazilian National Defense Policy considers border control and drug traffic as major threats for Brazilian security. The region most vulnerable to those threats is the Amazon. The Brazilian Amazon is considered an excellent way to allow drug traffic and cultivation. Drug traffickers use Brazilian territory to dispatch drug to consumer's center, inclusive US. That situation must be controlled for the next century. To solve the problems of border control and drug traffic Brazil has many approaches, but based on Brazilian Strategy, historical characteristic of peaceful nation, and resources' availability, the less expensive approach is the establishment of an IW doctrine for the year 2000. To do it, IW must be considered as an efficient tool to Brazil's strategy, and the legal, technological and intelligence environments must adequate to a new situation. Finally, beyond strategic evaluations, some operational changes must be considered, such as the Brazilian Marine Corps' Information Warfare independent company which would be responsible for IW analysis and employment during peacetime or crisis. Brazil must consider the IW doctrine proposed in order to achieve economically its National Defense Policy objectives of border control and drug traffic.

Book Description
The grouping consisting of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) was initially meant to be nothing more than clever investment jargon referring to the largest and most attractive emerging economies. However, these countries identified with the BRIC concept, and started to meet annually as a group in 2008. At their fourth summit in 2011, they added South Africa to become the BRICS. By then the BRICS had fully morphed from investment jargon to a name for a new economic and political grouping that had the potential to challenge the unipolar hegemony of the United States and its Western allies. This work analyses the extent to which the concept of coexistence explains the individual foreign policies of the BRICS countries. The editors define coexistence as a strategy that promotes the establishment of a rule-based system for co-managing the global order. It recognizes that different states may legitimately pursue their own political and economic interests, but they have to do so within the bounds of a rule-based international system that ensures the peaceful coexistence of states. The BRICS and Coexistence addresses the political dimension of the emergence and influence of the BRICS in the international system and will be of interest to students and scholars of Politics, Development and International Relations.
