  • Democracy and Civil-Military Relations in Brazil
    Democracy and Civil-Military Relations in Brazil by Octavio Amorim Neto Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration (EBAPE) Getulio Vargas Foundation, Rio de Janeiro [email protected] Prepared for presentation at the IX Meeting of the Brazilian Political Science Association, Brasília, August 4-7, 2014. The author thanks the excellent research assistance provided by Igor Acácio. 1 Civil-military relations are one of the pillars of democratic theory and practice. Democratic regimes in which civilian control of the military is weak are generally of lowquality because the legitimate representatives of popular sovereignty do not direct the organization that ultimately ensures that the state has the monopoly of the use of force. These representatives often see their decisions vetoed by the military, also running the risk of being toppledfrom power by the latter. Civil-military relations are also the main institutional component of defense policy and national security (Huntington 1985 [1957]). If these relations are marked by severe imbalances, sharp hostility and lack of cooperation, a country may see its planning and military effectiveness severely compromised. In short, as shown by Feaver (1999), civil-military relations live under the shadow of two tragic poles: the military coup d’état and defeat on the battlefield. Republican Brazil knows deeply the first pole, but ignores the second. There were many successful coups and failed coup attempts from 1889 on. But since then, the country has only been at war in 1917-1918 and 1942-1945, and even then, as a minor and subordinate actor in the two world wars. That is to say, with the end of World War II, Brazilian civil-military relations began to be structured predominantly around the involvement of the military in domestic politics.

As a result, it is probably the most tightly regulated and controlled industry on a global basis. Additionally, the defence industry has a rather important impact on national economies and on the technological base of any given country. European defence companies play a major role in a vastly competitive international scene and are standing at the forefront of technological advancement, sophistication and efficiency by creating products of proven quality record, reliability and service ability.

    DANIEL ZIRKER The ‘National Security Strategy of the USA’ and Brazilian Military Thought: Imagining the Near Future It is the policy of the United States to seek and support democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world. In the world today, the fundamental character of regimes matters as much as the distribu- tion of power among them. The goal of our statecraft is to help create a world of democratic, well-governed states that can meet the needs of their citizens and conduct themselves responsibly in the international system. This is the best way to provide enduring secu- rity for the American people. National Security Strategy of the United States of America 2006(p. 6)1 Today, the United States enjoys a position of unparalleled military strength and great economic and political influence. In keeping with our heritage and principles, we do not use our strength to press for unilateral advantage. We seek instead to create a balance of power that favors human freedom: conditions in which all nations and all societies can choose for themselves the rewards and challenges of political and economic liberty. In a world that is safe, people will be able to make their own lives better. We will defend the peace by fighting terrorists and tyrants.
