A Lei da mobilização brasileira: possibilidades e limitações

Abstract

The National Defense Policy (PND) reveals that after a long conflict-free period that has directly affected territory and national sovereignty, the perception of threats is fading for many Brazilians. However, it is unwise to imagine that a country with the potential of Brazil does not face antagonisms when pursuing its legitimate interests. One of the purposes of the PND is to make all segments of Brazilian society aware of the importance of defending the country and that this is a duty of all Brazilians. Law no. 11,631 of December 27, 2007 defined the term mobilization as the set of activities planned, oriented and undertaken by the State, complementing the National Logistics, designed to enable the Country to carry out strategic actions, in the field of National Defense, before of foreign aggression. This work had the objective of analyzing, at the strategic level, the actions related to the preparation phase of the mobilization, practiced in the Brazilian Navy (BN), to those provided for in the abovementioned law and resulting legal documents. The analysis sought to emphasize the aspects related to the perspectives, the opportunities, the threats and the reflections of this theme for BN. The present thesis sought to analyze the current norms issued at the three levels of government: national, sectoral and subsectoral. The main elements considered were: the theoretical concepts, the historical antecedents of the mobilization; the activation of national mobilization during conflicts, the creation of the National Mobilization System (SINAMOB), the allocation and corresponding use of budgetary resources of this constitutional provision. Finally, the conclusions were presented.
