A participação da Marinha do Brasil na resposta ao derramamento de óleo na costa brasileira: um estudo de caso sobre processo decisório em um ambiente de cooperação interagências

Abstract

ABSTRACT The oil spill incident on the northeastern coast of Brazil in 2019 is considered one of the largest environmental disasters in the country. Due to its magnitude, it required the combined efforts of various governmental and non-governmental agencies to combat it. This institutional arrangement had the Brazilian Navy (MB) as the Operational Coordinator, responsible for immediate actions in response to the accident. Despite the advantages of working in cooperation, in practice, it is a relationship that presents difficulties. The objective, therefore, is to understand the challenges and advantages of this type of collaboration in order to observe their impact on the MB's decision-making process. Thus, it is important to analyze, through a case study, how the decision-making process was carried out within this interagency architecture. The results indicate that the obstacles experienced in an interagency cooperation environment can be minimized by improving behavioral competencies. This study proposes a program focused on developing behavioral competencies that facilitate decision-making in interagency cooperation environments.
