Description
Summary:This article presents a mapping of Brazilian action in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) between 2003 and 2022, applying quantitative methodology to analyze twenty documents provided by the UN and compiled by the researchers. First, we defined the concept of Brazilian Strategic Environment (SE) and analyzed the most important points of security and defense in Brazil in our recent history, focusing on South America, South Atlantic, Sub-Saharan Africa and Antarctica, from a literature review. The objective of this article is to analyze the information obtained about Brazilian participation in PKO, how many people participate in these operations, what are the most common types of shipping and where these operations in which the country participates are located. Using these data, we intend to contrast the missions with each other and with the idea of Brazilian SE. It was possible to conclude that in relation to Brazilian engagement in PKO, the SE is not a priority for sending in intensity, however, the country manages, over time, to be minimally present in several PKO within the SE, with an extremely low intensity degree of involvement. El artículo presenta un mapeo de la acción brasileña en las Operaciones de Mantenimiento de la Paz (Peacekeeping Operations – PKO) de las Naciones Unidas entre 2003 y 2022, aplicando metodología cuantitativa para analizar veinte documentos proporcionados por la ONU y compilados por los investigadores. Inicialmente, se define el concepto de Entorno Estratégico (EE) brasileño y se analizan los puntos más importantes de seguridad y defensa de Brasil en nuestra historia reciente, centrándose en América del Sur, Atlántico Sur, África Subsahariana y Antártida, a partir de una revisión de la literatura. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la información obtenida sobre la participación brasileña en PKO, cuántas personas participan en estas operaciones, cuáles son los tipos de envío más comunes y, principalmente, dónde se ubican estas operaciones en las que participa el ...
