Cooperação de defesa, empregos domésticos e exportação de influência : a implantação pela MB de um escritório naval de assistência a programas internacionais, um modelo brasileiro de negócios militares governo-governo

Abstract

The present work aims to verify the possibility of adoption by Brazil, initially through the Brazilian Navy, of a business model of government-to-government trade using defense products and services. The research sought to verify business models in the international experience, since the sale of equipment and services provided by the Brazilian Defense Industrial Base has proven to be a major driver of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in several countries, which justifies the present work. In this segment of international trade, with the systematic and intelligent support of governments and their Armed Forces, the various facets that this market provides are notorious, directly impacting the global, regional and internal balances of Economic Power, Political Power, Scientific-Technological Power, Psychosocial Power and Military Power, influenced by geopolitical factors. The arrangement of a Government-Government business model, whose significant examples are currently the Foreign Military Sales Program (FMS), adopted by the US, and the DE&S-DESA, adopted by the United Kingdom, can be considered as references for the scope and capillarity of this trade and its effects, which go far beyond military relations, impacting commercial, technological and political relations, including in its own national defense industry, generating employment and income, and there is no similar business program in Brazil between governments instituted and with a legal framework totally established with this approach. The methodology used conducted a review of the literature on the subject. The relevance of the research lies in the contribution of the Brazilian Navy in achieving the success intended by Brazil in its internal policy, aimed at the development of its Defense Industrial Base with technological development, and in foreign policy, aimed at achieving its autonomy and relevance of the Brazilian State, especially in its strategic border. The research raised in the experience of the US and UK with important useful and applicable lessons for Brazil.
