THE NEW STRATEGY OF BRAZIL IN THE FIELD OF DEFENSE AND SECURITY

This article presents an analysis of the new Brazilian defense policy in its process of becoming a world power. Brazil faces the challenge of building a dissuasion capacity considered necessary for its own security and defense with the modernization and strengthening of its military forces. In this sense Brazil has signed important military-technical cooperation agreements in the last years specially with France. On a regional level, it wishes to maintain the process of integration with its neighboring countries. On a global level, Brazil has increased its participation in international peace missions and has reaffirmed its commitment to the principle of non intervention by searching diplomatic solutions to solve conflicts.
