Transformação sistêmica internacional e seu impacto no projeto de Força dos Fuzileiros Navais dos EUA no século XXI

Abstract

The present work had as its central focus on the study of military institutional change, more precisely the institution represented by the US Marines. To this end, a bibliographic review was carried out on the subject, its construction and its theoretical changes, in order to understand how thinking about different views on the subject is constructed. Understanding the need to present the historical context, a follow-up was carried out through the main conflicts and phases of organizational evolution, in order to make the object concrete. Finally, there was a study of the specific Force Design 2030 case, applying the process tracing technique to verify the origin and mechanisms of the process that modified the conception of amphibious force employment. The working hypothesis is tested when considering the exogenous and systemic origin of the remodeling process and, through the evidence found, the effect of different influences on the decision-making process. The time frame chosen was made possible to observe a pattern break of a legacy acquired in years of Wars in the desert, from 1990 to 2018, which differs from the original naval traditions’ roots.
