As distintas concepções das marinhas brasileira e norte-americana aos olhos da sociedade civil

Abstract

The present monograph aims to delve into the analysis of perceptual disparities between Brazilian and North-American citizens regarding their respective Navies, taking into consideration a variety of factors encompassing historical, cultural, structural, and geopolitical aspects. The research adopts a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods for a more extensive and precise investigation. Throughout the monograph, topics related to the international context will be explored, addressing the international relations of both countries, which sometimes influence the missions and perceptions of the Navies, thus contributing to the formation of the public view of these military institutions. One of the primary goals of this study is to highlight the negative impact that the lack of recognition from society has on members of the Armed Forces and identify strategies that the Brazilian Navy can adopt, drawing inspiration from the North-American model while respecting the cultural and natural nuances of both nations. Furthermore, it seeks to develop unique solutions that promote and strengthen the Maritime Mindset within Brazilian society.
