Os militares na política e as relações civis-militares no governo Jair Bolsonaro

Abstract

The present study analyzes civil-military relations in Brazil during the government of Jair Bolsonaro, elected in 2018, with a focus on the participation of the military in political positions. The research employs a deductive methodology, analyzing journalistic sources, reports, academic literature, and the history of military interventions by the Brazilian Armed Forces from the Proclamation of the Republic to the 1964 coup. The work examines theories by authors such as Maria Baltazar, Samuel Huntington, and Morris Janowitz, and explores the evolution of civil-military relations in Brazil with an emphasis on national peculiarities. Furthermore, it discusses the historical role of the Armed Forces in Brazilian politics and the militarization of the government during Bolsonaro’s administration, highlighting the impact of this dynamic on national defense and military oversight.
