Análise diagnóstica da sistemática de panejamento de alto nível da Marinha Do Brasil

Abstract

After a long period of peace and prosperity, the world is witnessing the resurgence of interstate conflicts, the consolidation of complex security threats and growing strategic competition. At the same time, the importance of seas and oceans has grown, highlighting their crucial role in the global economy. This difficult context highlights the need for the Brazilian Navy to prepare for the challenges ahead. One of the best resources to guide the Force’s adequate preparation for the future is Strategic Planning, which, in the Brazilian Navy, gained special momentum since 2013, with the reformulation of its main processes. In recent years, several strategic publications have been prepared within the context of the Brazilian Navy’s High-Level Planning Systematic. This thesis aims to evaluate the current strategic planning of the Naval Force, based on a comparative analysis between the content of these publications, the theories established by experts on the subject and the strategies of navies of similar size, in order to identify possible gaps, inconsistencies or flaws in the process. The results reveal significant progress in resource integration and strategy formulation, but also point to problems that need to be addressed. Harmonization between the various strategic documents and a more rigorous adaptation to international practices are essential to strengthen Brazil's defense capability at sea. These conclusions provide a basis for future research and development in the area of maritime security and defense, highlighting the importance of a proactive and adaptive approach in the face of geopolitical and environmental changes
