ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I have the privilege to say this research is not the product of a lonely endeavor. It is the
result of a great network of support, and shared experiences. It relies on the contributions of
several institutions, which deserve all to be remembered here. First of all, the National Council
for Scientific and Technological Development, which has sponsored, and CPDOC/FGV, which
has hosted it. I’d also like to thank the Brazilian Army School of Command and General Staff
(ECEME), and the Brazilian Joint Peace Operations Center (CCOPAB), for allowing me into
the field.
I’d like to thank my professors, especially professor Celso Castro and Adriana Marques,
who’ve not only introduced me to the military studies, but also provided important research
materials. My work wouldn’t be completed without the generous contributions of Monique
Sochaczewski Goldfeld and Alexandre Moreli, or the academic advisory of Matias Spektor.
I’m also lucky enough to count on the careful reviews of Larissa Nascimento, Rafael Blusky,
Matheus Campelo, and my brother Rafael Gonçalves as well as the support of Ingrid Viana,
Lorrayne Fialho, Anderson Pabst, Vitor Del Rey, and my parents Leila and Luiz Gonçalves.
At last, I’d like to thank my wonderful husband, Itamar Gonçalves Pereira, who’s been
much more than my companion, and played the roles of research assistant, reviewer, along
many others, and has patiently helped me all the way through my investigation.

ABSTRACT

Along this dissertation, I investigate how the participation of Brazilian Troops in the
United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) affect and is affected by Brazil’s
culture of national security. I conclude that the Brazilian participation in MINUSTAH is
informed by Brazil’s national military culture, and has repercussions in the national military
praxis.

KEY WORDS
Brazilian Armed Forces. MINUSTAH. Haiti. Peacekeeping. Affect. Culture of National
Security.

é informada pela cultura militar brasileira e é repercutida nas práticas militares nacionais.
