Abstract

The theme of this research is the Brazilian defense industrial policy. The subject is the dynamic of the most important processes and players in the design and coordination of the main Brazilian military projects in the context of entanglement between Defense, Foreign Affairs and Science, Technology & Innovation public policies. More specifically, the objective of this interdisciplinary research is to explore to what extent this dynamic between processes and players, as well as their mechanisms of coordination and interaction channels, shape the profile of the main Brazilian military projects. The hypothesis to be verified is that despite the institutional progress made since the creation of the Ministry of Defense, it is still possible to identify challenges in terms of the structuring of its coordination mechanisms, leading to ambiguous situations in terms of political direction and military autonomy. Thus, the period considered covers the years since the creation of the Ministry of Defense (1999) until the end of data collection for this project (2014), coinciding with the presidential election period in Brazil. Based on the results achieved, it becomes possible to explore the budgetary fluctuations not only a cause, but above all, the effect of the problems faced in managing this portfolio of complex projects, within the broader framework of the maturing process of the Brazilian Ministry of Defense.
