| Popis: | The field of defense industry and technology limits the strategic autonomy of countries. In our study, we show how this axiom guided the investments in the sector during Dilma Rousseff’s government, based on the coordinates proposed in the document called Estratégia Nacional de Defesa (National Defense Strategy – END). This document demands that the purchase of defense materials should be conditioned by technology transfer of the selling country to avoid or attenuate the dependence on external suppliers. However, both in local armaments production and in cooperation for the development of a South American defense industrial base, we believe that without the convergence among actors of the defense sector, companies, and research and development centers (civil and military), the document may only highlight good intentions and will be far from moving the country toward strategic autonomy. |
