O efeito da globalização da indústria de Defesa Nacional: os reflexos da globalização na indústria de construção militar naval brasileira

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the consequences of globalization in the military shipbuilding in Brazil, and to verify if these consequences are threats or opportunities. To achieve this goal, initially, will be shown the existence of a national project to strengthen the defense industrial base, witch aims to show the existence of a normative documentation, represented by National Defense Policy, National Defense Strategy and the National Defense Industry Policy. At this stage, it will be shown in these documents, the presence of the globalization phenomenon in the National Defense Industry. It will also be subject to any comments, the importance of nationalization and the offset for the development of this industry. From this point, the focus will be directed to the Military Shipbuilding Industry, where we will study the consequences that globalization has led this industry, as well a s the need to reach and effective industrial policy to this sector. To support this purpose, we present examples of projects to build warships for the Brazilian navy, in Brazil and abroad, along the XX and XXI centuries, seeking to make evident the presence of globalization in this context. There will be examples of projects involving technology transfer, offset, changing in rates of nationalization, and sufficient data to able to list the advantages, the obstacles, and the opportunities for improvement for this activity. In the end, it will be possible to answer the question: "Globalization: Threat or Opportunity?".
