A projeção geopolítica do Brasil e os tratados de defesa análise comparativa do Tratado interamericano de assistência recíproca (1947) e do Conselho de defesa sul americano (2008)

Abstract

Brazil's geopolitical projection on the international stage has historically been marked by its active participation in defense and collective security treaties. This thesis seeks to comparatively analyze the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (TIAR), signed in 1947, and the South American Defense Council (CDS), established in 2008. The research examines how these two treaties reflect different geopolitical contexts and strategic priorities for Brazil and the South American region. While the TIAR was created during the Cold War, emphasizing hemispheric security and U.S. influence in the Americas, the CDS emerged during a period of strengthened regional autonomy, promoting a more independent approach to defense and security. The analysis highlights shifts in international relations between Brazil and its neighbors, underscoring the country's role as a regional leader and its adaptation to new global power dynamics. The comparison between the two treaties reveals both continuities and breaks in defense and security strategies, as well as the evolution of Brazil's foreign policy in response to changes in the international landscape.
