Resumo
Since the creation of a civilian-led Ministry of Defense in Brazil in 1999, the political power of the Armed Forces has been waning. However, the scholarly literature does not consider the country’s legislative branch to have been relevant in democratizing civil-military relations. Yet, this view needs to be revisited in light of recent developments. Since 2008 Brazil implemented a series of unprecedented actions as regards military politics and defense policymaking: (1) the publication of the National Strategy of Defense in 2008, drafted by both civilians and the military, which was complemented in 2012 by the publication of the country’s first White Paper on National Defense; (2) the enactment of the New Defense Law in 2010, which strengthens the role of the defense minister in the conduct of defense policy; (3) the promulgation of the Freedom of Information Law in 2011; (4) the enactment of laws providing subsidies for the defense industry in 2012; and (5) the publication of the final report on human rights violations committed during the 1964-1985 military regime by the National Truth Committee in 2014. The main goal of this paper is to assess to what extent such momentous changes were affected by legislative preferences and activities. To do so, we will analyze all bills of law and information requests on defense matters initiated by deputies and senators in 1999-2014.
