Contribuições do poder anfíbio brasileiro para a projeção de segurança e estabilidade em disputas territoriais na região do Essequibo

Abstract

Thais paper analyzes the contributos of the Brazilian Amphibious Power to the projection of security and stability in the territorial disputes of the Essequibo region. It assumes that the crisis between Guyana and Venezuela poses a direct challenge to regional stability and tests Brazil’s capacity to exercise leadership and ensure the inviolability of its Amazonian borders. The research examines how the Brazilian Marine Corps, through the employment of Amphibious Power, integrates national deterrence strategy, acting as both an instrument of power projection and diplomatic influence. The study combines documentary, doctrinal, and geopolitical analysis, while also addressing the role of the Navy in defense policies and recent interagency operations. The findings indicate that Amphibious Power, due to its flexibility and expeditionary nature, strengthens Brazil’s ability to safeguard its territory and reinforces its position as a regional provider of cooperative security and stability in the South Atlantic and the Amazon.
