O papel da Marinha do Brasil No combate à violência no Século XXI : uma análise das contribuições e perspectivas

Abstract

In recent years, we have witnessed an increase in violence associated with organized crime throughout our national territory and around the world. Criminal organizations operate as if they were international corporations, employing sophisticated technologies. Additionally, they occupy areas neglected by the State, where the absence of authority creates opportunities for other actors; such a situation represents a significant threat to the sovereignty of countries. The Amazon, due to the porosity of its borders and its vast territorial extension, is a hub for drug trafficking, arms trafficking and human trafficking. There are surveillance programs and systems, as well as development initiatives aimed at protecting and integrating the Amazon region, including through joint national and international operations between the Armed Forces and security forces. However, instability in the allocation of financial resources, subject to fluctuations due to crises and government priorities, has negatively impacted the actions of the State. This study aims to investigate the possible measures that the Brazilian Navy can employ to mitigate the worsening of the problem of violence in Brazil in the twenty-first century. To this end, the Bibliographic-Documentary Methodology was used in this work, with sources available in books, articles, interviews, webinars and official websites related to the topic
