RESUMO

Abordar a história da geografia política brasileira, sem entender a significância do poder exercido pelo general Golbery, é, sem dúvida, ignorar os fundamentos da compreensão da geopolítica militar praticada entre 1º de abril de 1964 e 15 de março de 1985. O gaúcho Golbery do Couto e Silva teve papel determinante na concepção, desenvolvimento e consolidação da estrutura intelectual militar, personificada pela Escola Superior de Guerra, a ESG. Sem dúvida, a gestação da ditadura no Brasil foi realizada nos átrios da ESG, sob as elaboradas diretrizes de Golbery e de seus pares. Durante todo o período ditatorial vivido pelo Brasil, a presença de Golbery oscilou entre a militância ativa e a eminência parda. A articulação político-estratégica vivida por esse militar, e também político, foi decisiva, inclusive, para a ascensão do general João Baptista de Oliveira Figueiredo ao poder, em 15 de março de 1979, o que permitiu o retorno da democracia à realidade brasileira.

Palavras-chave: Geografia política brasileira. Geopolítica militar. Escola Superior de Guerra. Golbery do Couto e Silva. Ditadura no Brasil.

    To get a better understanding of the 64 coup, we must first know what the military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985) was. It all begins when President Joao Goulart is removed from his post. The main objective of this regime was to prohibit communism and corruption in the country, because the military regime itself was a provisional character. And to end this communist threat in Brazil, they had to censor the press and also created Institutional Acts that would change the country. So whoever was not in favor of this idealization was usually tortured or even executed.…

    The entire book centers on a single recurring theme: the foolishness of a democracy supporting dictators. Roorda maintains that “the dependence on dictators to attain the traditional U.S. goals of stability and cooperation in Latin America meant having to ignore those instances when the strongmen themselves incited unrest and conflict” (146-147). The U.S. military is partly to blame, since it trained Trujillo and treated him as a favored protégé, while diplomats saw through the dictator’s pageantry and disapproved of his methods (Trujillo returned their contempt). Roorda places heavy blame on the Roosevelt administration for allowing Trujillo to remain in power for the simple reason that Trujillo represented stability (even though his conduct at home and his occasional bloody attacks against neighboring Haiti disrupted Dominican-American relations). Roorda describes U.S. logic with Trujillo as “Dominican stability made him practical to deal with,” even if that meant not questioning the ethics of backing brutal regimes that did not threaten American dominance or prosperity.…

    The Brazilian's political system need to be reformed as quickly as possible. The political parties are not representing the popular aspirations. On the contrary, they are corporations that represent just themselves. We can exemplify this with two basic examples: the corruption system of the Brazilian company oil Petrobras, that was responsible, in many political parties, for the campaign's financing of the last elections; and the way that the candidates are chosen for the parties: who chooses the candidates for elections are the political parties and the population should accept this.…

    The people of Brazil are a direct product of the past, personal motives and social feelings have changed. This will be shown by various examples of race throughout the colonial era, the military period, and present Brazilian sentiments. Brazil uses the influences from the past to combat current issues. Brazilian Mosaic states that over three million slaves were brought to Brazil because of the slave trade, and no women were with the male settlers. This allows the start of one of Brazil’s most crucial disparities – the challenges because of skin color.…

    However, considering representational go-betweens, such as Hans Staden are one of the only sources of information about colonial Brazil, they must be examined, albeit with a critical eye as they provide valuable information about the peoples’ practises during the 16th century. “Physical go-betweens were the sailors and crew members” “who linked islands, coastlines, forests…and the people who inhabited them,” slaves were oftentimes used as go-betweens as well as colonists themselves. Subsequently, it can be deducted that almost anyone could play the role of a go-between. A new people were even created through the mixing of indigenous and Europeans, and Europeans with Africans, thus resulting in children familiar to multiple customs and languages who were ideal to act as representational…

    Argentina and Brazil are two Latin American countries that had a divergent process of struggles for independence having been colonized by different nations. Brazil has since developed more compared to Argentina with the solid foundations of growth set by the colonists. The current political landscapes for the two nations are similar in structure, but the difference comes in a number of members in the different arms of government. The faster growth and huge great economic powers have extended the levels and nature of international affiliations enjoyed by Brazil compared to those Argentina…

    When the Spanish founded Colonial Latin America, the cultures socially, physically, and politically united to form a new society. The Spanish, Indians, and African slaves attempted to embed their homeland’s culture into this new society. This formed a clash of cultures because each came with its own set of norms. The go-betweens played a pivotal role during encounters between the cultures acting as interpreters and the Jesuits as Christian converters. As colonial Latin America society was forming and blending cultures, it strained the social hierarchy of each society, individuals identity and honor, and women’s roles. Many go-betweens entrenched themselves in the new culture forming relationships as a personal opportunity for themselves or to convert indigenous to Christianity. Alida C. Metcalf, author of Go-betweens and the Colonization of Brazil 1500-1600 and authors Lyman L. Johnson and Sonya Lipsett-Rivera who wrote Sex Shame and Violence the Faces of Honor in Colonial Latin America wrote vivid descriptions of Spanish colonial culture. Colonial America unequally blended Spanish and Indian cultures which formed a new hierarchy in society, formed new personal identities, and brought about Christian conversion.…

    With the problem concerning the rainforests in Brazil, the usage of Gunboat Diplomacy, which forces foreign powers to act on a decision swiftly to benefit the country that is threatening them with a strong military presence, would deal swiftly with the issue; however, it has its problems. These issues that arise from this technique of diplomacy would be that Brazil is a massive country that has a strong military, and that this would be fund as an act of war and would be punished by the United Nations. Furthermore, this way of interaction between the two nations would worsen relations between the two countries and cause tensions that could result to war with one another. When talking about the negatives of a topic, the positives are always discussed, and in this case the pros of gunboat diplomacy would be a quick response from the nation of Brazil as well as a swift decision from the country about the cutting of trees in the rainforests. In addition to Gunboat Diplomacy, we have another choice…

    In any study regarding the relationship between military and civilian rule In Latin America, it is important to have an understanding of the extensive role that the military has played in the region. The almost inseparable link between the civilian political system and military authority is key to gaining an insight into the challenges of attempting to consolidate rising democratic trends in a post-transition environment, from military to civilian rule. A case in point, in illustration of the influence of the military in Latin America, is the deliberate measures taken in order to ensure that the peronist movement in Argentina was kept from gaining political influence in the aftermath of Peron’s exile. In 1962 as well as 1966, those measures rose to include military take-over in order to ‘correct’ the results of popular elections (Skidmore & Smith, 2005, pp. 92-94).…

    INTRODUÇÃO: Ainda que seja reconhecida internacionalmente como independente por ter População, Território e autonomia política, uma Nação não colonizada, que se confronte com disseminação do Poder a ponto do Estado não deter capacidade de Gestão dos recursos, falha como Estado. ESTADO FALHADO Para caracterizar um estado falhado, os autores supra citados1, confrontam a definição com um Estado viável que assegura o controlo do território, proporcionando níveis aceitáveis de Serviços de Saúde, educação da população, infra-estruturas funcionais, economia, assim como a capacidade de manter a lei e a ordem.

Esta definição identifica-se com os aspectos relevantes enunciados: 2 O estatuto do poder político e da autoridade é o Estado; A Soberania, autonomia e independência: O Estado como instituição organizada politicamente, socialmente e juridicamente, ocupando um território bem definido, sobre o possui soberania interna e externamente legitimada; Poder de decisão e de imposição: Um Estado soberano sintetizado pela máxima "Um governo, um povo, um território" é responsável pela organização e pelo controlo social, pois detém, segundo Max Weber, o monopólio legítimo do uso da força (coerção, especialmente a legal); Satisfação de objectivos comunitários: Conforme os autores citados, organizações como o Banco Mundial3 e analistas 4 assume princípios essenciais como a necessidade do estado deve prover soluções para os problemas colectivos, Fazer, Aplicar e Julgar de acordo com as Leis; Gestão de potencialidades e carências: A Capacidade de administração; “ Governance ” baseiam-se em índices de desempenho social, segundo a boa Divisão…
