Rittermann, Stephen D. "Civil-Military Relations and militarization in El Salvador." Thesis, Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10945/45243.
Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThis thesis analyzes the state of Civil-Military Relations and militarization in El Salvador under the leadership of President Mauricio Funes (2009–2014). Civil-Military Relations are examined using the Center for Civil-Military Relations trinity framework—first proposed by Thomas C. Bruneau in the journal Revista Fuerzas Armadas y Sociedad in 2005—which considers effectiveness, efficiency, and democratic civilian control. Militarization is presented in terms of Salvadoran troops in the streets. This thesis presents the linkage of these two phenomena as domestic security policy formation and implementation. The analysis demonstrates that informal Civil-Military Relations have resulted in a largely undemocratic response to El Salvador’s sizeable security challenges. Two cases, in particular, are studied more closely: 1) President Funes’ unique relationship with General David Munguía Payés and 2) the government’s secret design of the 2012 gang truce. This thesis concludes that security policy formation under the Funes administration was haphazardly conducted as an expedient to El Salvador’s security dilemma and resulted in at least a partial democratic breakdown in the processes envisioned by the 1992 peace accords.

Saha, Sparsha. "Iran's Situations: Military Violence, Protests, and Group Dynamics." Thesis, Harvard University, 2014. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:13065029.
Full textAbstract:
Iran is a country with a rich history of successful social movements and not so successful ones. The two most recent ones---1979 and 2009---set up a very unique puzzle that sheds some light not only on the factors of micro-variation (in levels of violence against protesters) within states over time, but also on the factors that drive variation within a protest wave---factors that are related to the design of a state's security system (for example, multiple security force actors that provide options for protest policing). Explaining variation across and within these two cases requires that we think about the ensuing potential for violent conflict as inter-group related. In order to predict violence on protesters in Iran, it is necessary to measure the level of representativeness in the military organization, which I disaggregate at the level of the security force actor (Basij/IRGC/Artesh), and consider this in relation to the composition of the protesting crowd. The more representative a security force body within the military, the less likely is the outbreak of violence in any given protest event if that body is involved. This is because representative entities are less likely to view crowds as part of a threatening other.Government

Andrews, Sharleen. "Women's Empowerment by Group Sewing Training: A Microfinance Study in El Salvador." ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/6509.
Full textAbstract:
This case study explored the lived experiences of 8 participants in a microfinance sewing program in El Salvador. Numerous studies focused on empowering women by employing microfinance projects or programs in many countries; however, a lack of empirical data exists regarding Salvadoran women's perceptions about how a sewing program with teamwork affects women's empowerment. The purpose of this case study was to understand the women's personal stories, their obstacles as well as any factors they saw as empowering them. Guided by a constructionist framework, a sample of 8 participants: 5 who were sewing students and 3 who were employees, who shared their administrative perspectives about participants' skills, data collection and data analysis methods gained. Five themes emerged from the women's interviews about their sewing program experience: (a) program effect on women's well-being; (b) gained a means of income; (c) increased self-efficacy, confidence, and security; (d) worked in groups or teams; and (e) the teacher's positive influence. The 5 sewing student participants reported they developed self-efficacy and self-fulfillment in the sewing program. The women attributed their success to the teacher, who taught them sewing skills and provided guidance and encouragement. This study contributes to social change by providing insight for additional women's studies on women's empowerment, social work with families and children, and for MSW social work students.

Full textAbstract:
A primeira experiência urbanística feita no Brasil aplicava conhecimentos de tratados italianos. Em Salvador, os conceitos de \"cidade\" e \"fortificação\" caminharam juntos por todo o período colonial, notando-se em sua Arquitetura Militar a assimilação de novas teorias vindas da Europa, em especial da Holanda e da França. Embora não se conheça as traças e amostras que deram origem à fortaleza e povoação de 1549, imagina-se seu desenho (do arquiteto e engenheiro militar Miguel de Arruda) como o de uma cidade fortificada tipicamente renascentista. Além da referência de poucos documentos escritos (cartas de Luiz Dias, Nóbrega e a crônica de Gabriel Soares, 35 anos depois), conjectura-se sua configuração e desenvolvimento inicial principalmente pelo registro cartográfico de 1605, a planta de Albernaz. Com esse desenho, feito para dar-se execução à fortificação daquela cidade, Salvador recebia o primeiro plano de defesa e ordenação urbana, ainda sob domínio espanhol. Depois das guerras holandesas e da Restauração de Portugal (1640), surgiram novos projetos que ampliaram o seu perímetro defensivo. Pela proximidade conceitual entre cidade e fortificação, passamos em revista as principais avaliações e propostas (relatórios de João Coutinho, 1685, Miguel Pereira da Costa, 1710 e o chamado \"Projeto Massé\", de 1715), notando-se uma urbe pensada sempre em sua integridade, em constante elaboração e de zelo projetual e administrativo ligado à expectativa de cumprimento do seu desígnio. Na permanente atenção às estruturas de defesa e coesão do tecido urbano também se nota, a cada plano, uma tensão entre o que se idealizava e o que era possível fazer, entre a cidade pensada e a que se realizava. Finalizamos com uma rápida exposição dos projetos de edifícios militares coloniais de Salvador (ainda existentes, na maioria) com base no registro de meados do século XVIII (c. 1760) do engenheiro militar José Antônio Caldas, que desenvolveu intensa atividade na Aula Militar da Baía.The first urban experience done in Brazil applied knowledge from Italian Treaties. In Salvador, the concepts of \"city\" and \"fortress\" marched together throughout the colonial period, and in its Military Architecture it is possible to notice the assimilation of new theories coming from Europe, particularly Holland and France. Although the traces (traças e amostras) that gave rise to the fortress and settlement of 1549 are not known, its drawing (by architect and military engineer Miguel de Arruda) can be imagined as a typical Renaissance fortress city. Despite the reference of a few written documents (letters by Luiz Dias, Nóbrega and chronicle by Gabriel Soares, 35 years later), its initial configuration and development is conjectured mainly through the 1605 cartographic record, the Albernaz floor plan. With this drawing, made to execute the fortification of that city, Salvador received the first plan for urban defense and ordination, still under Spanish Domination. After the Dutch Wars and the Restoration of Portugal (1640), more projects emerged and expanded its defensive perimeter. Due to the conceptual proximity between city and fortification, we have reviewed the main proposals and evaluations (reports by João Coutinho, 1685, Miguel Pereira da Costa, 1710 and the so called \"Projeto Massé\", 1715), and have portrayed a city (urbe) always envisioned in its integrity, under constant elaboration and with project and administrative zeal linked to the expectation of fulfilling its designation. In the permanent attention to the defense and cohesion structures of the urban fabric it is also possible to notice, on each plane, a tension between what was idealized and what was possible to be done, between the envisioned city and the one accomplished. We have concluded with a brief presentation of projects for colonial military edifices in Salvador (still existing, most of them) based on the record of the mid eighteenth century (c. 1760) by military engineer José Antonio Caldas, who developed intense activity in the course Aula Militar da Baía.

Full textAbstract:
A comparative study of the cycles of military-political power in El Salvador between 1931 and 1979 indicates that the country was convulsed six times by political struggle. A pattern emerged wherein the military asserted itself as maintainer of the status quo each time that repression of, or concession to, the masses threatened the economic and political balance.

Quinones, Donetta Doris. "Military Wife Participation in the Family Readiness Group During the Deployment Cycle." ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/6477.
Full textAbstract:
A comparative review of statistical summary results of the Survey of Army Families demonstrated that there is a gap in the research on the emotional experiences of civilian military wives who do not participate in the Family Readiness Group (FRG). The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to supplement the limited amount of scholarly research on the emotional experiences of civilian military wives and their lack of participation in the FRG during the deployment cycle. The theoretical framework of this study explored the military family syndrome through application of the double ABCX model in examining this phenomenon. The foundational research question inquired about the deployment-related emotional experiences of civilian military wives who do not participate in a FRG. Phenomenological interviews with 5 civilian military wives narrowed the gap in research as their specific experiences with the FRG of their soldier's unit were analyzed and coded to identify different categories and themes. Study results suggested that familiarity with the deployment cycle was a crucial determinant in how civilian military wives experience the deployment cycle and perceive the use of the FRG as a source of support. The perceived detached communication and engagement of the FRG organization and its leaders were also found to be contributing factors to civilian military spouse participation. The implications of these findings for positive social change are to inform FRG leadership of the importance of addressing the needs of new and seasoned civilian military wives to foster a more favorable perception of the organization and to promote the potential participation of new members.

A crise socioambiental que ora se apresenta, sinaliza para necessidade urgente de uma quebra de paradigma. A forma pela qual as sociedades ocidentais se estruturaram baseadas no consumo desenfreado e na espoliação extrema dos serviços ambientais, leva a crer que a solução para todo esse descompasso está em educar os indivíduos. Essa ação vem a partir de uma nova dimensão educacional política, radical e transformadora concebida como Educação Ambiental. Este processo busca desenvolver novos valores morais, de ética planetária, consciência crítica e cidadania global. Nesse sentido, este trabalho de pesquisa tem como objetivos demonstrar a importância do Centro de Pesquisa da Biodiversidade do Colégio Militar de Salvador e das ações educativas a ele relacionadas, como espaço para a promoção da Educação Ambiental; levantar um breve histórico da Educação Ambiental no mundo e no Brasil; estruturar o histórico/memória do Centro de Pesquisa da Biodiversidade Sargento Albinio (CPBSA); e também, identificar as concepções de meio ambiente e de Educação Ambiental dos alunos e professores do Colégio Militar de Salvador. Para isto optou-se por procedimentos metodológicos ancorados na pesquisa documental de natureza exploratória e caráter qualitativo, configurada em um estudo de caso. A dissertação está estruturada em três seções, que discorrem desde o histórico da Educação Ambiental no mundo e no Brasil, passando pelo Sistema Colégio Militar do Brasil e depois pelo Colégio Militar de Salvador, acompanhada da análise de documentos que permitiram coletar dados para a construção do histórico/memória do que hoje denomina-se Centro de Pesquisa da Biodiversidade Sargento Albino. Fez-se necessária a aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado aos alunos e aos professores da disciplina Eletiva de Educação Ambiental, componente da matriz curricular do turno integral do Ensino Fundamental . A partir da análise interpretativa dos resultados concluiu-se a respeito das concepções de meio ambiente e Educação Ambiental que permeiam o ideário da comunidade escolar e que viabilizam a elaboração e execução de futuros projetos em Educação Ambiental, mais alinhados com a Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental. Finalizando, foi apresentado o produto final da dissertação de um Mestrado Profissional: Uma proposta de requalificação e ação para o Centro de Pesquisa da Biodiversidade Sargento Albino, concretizada em uma carta de intenções visando a conservação dessa área – o campo empírico da pesquisa; e também, em uma sequência didática interdisciplinar buscandoo ideário de Tbilisi.
The shown socio-environmental crisis indicates an urgent need of paradigm breaking. The way by which western societies have established themselves, based upon unleashed consumption of goods and extreme pillage of ecosystem services, leads to a belief that the solution for all this mismatch is to educate individuals. This aim consider a new political-educational dimension, radical and life-changing, conceived as Environmental Education. Such must develop new moral values, planetary ethics, critical awareness and global citizenship. This dissertative research paper aims to demonstrate the importance of the Military School of Salvador’s Biodiversity Research Center and its related educative practices, as a place to the promotion of Enviromental Education; show a brief historic of World´s and Brazilian´s Enviromental Educationts educative; structure the history/memory of Biodversity Research Center Sargento Albino (BRCSA); and also to identify Military School of Salvador students and teacher´s concepts of enviroment and Enviromental Education. For this purpose methodological procedures have been chosen based on documentary research of nature exploring and qualitative type, structured as a case study. The dissertation is organized in three sections, that discusses since worldwide and Brazil’s Environmental Education historical, going through the System Military School of Brazil and then Military School of Salvador, followed by the analysis of documents that allowed collecting data for building a historical of what it is so called Biodiversity Research Center Sargento Albino. The application of semi-structured questionnaires was necessary to students and teachers of the elective subject Environmental Education, part of the double shift Secondary Ecucation Curriculum Matrix. From the analysis of the results it was concluded, regarding environment and Environmental Education concepts that permeate the school community ideology and enable the elaboration and execution of upcoming projects in Environmental Education, further aligned with the National Politics of Environmental Education. Finally, it was shown the final product of the dissertation of a Professional Masters: a requalification and action proposal to the Biodiversity Research Center Sargento Albino, implemented on a letter of intent aiming this area´s conservation – the empiric field of the research; and also on a interdisciplinary didatic sequency pursuiting Tbilisi´s ideology.

Full textAbstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, CaliforniaA recent Air Traffic Management (ATM) initiative has reduced certain oceanic routes from a 2,000-foot vertical separation minimum to a 1,000-foot (300 m) separation minimum between flight levels of 29,000 feet and 41,000 feet. As a result of this initiative, an aircraft transitioning from the Continental United States (CONUS) to Europe or Asia will be required to have a validated, certified altimeter reporting system within the specified tolerances. The aging military airframes are not currently Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) certified. The impact on military deployment time to foreign theatres as well as high- fuel cost makes this a high-priority DoD issue. This paper describes the test and evaluation (T&E) challenge, viable solutions and test method for meeting the RVSM requirements in an approved, affordable, and least down-time (minimal aircraft modification) manner. The test method described herein utilizes a PACER aircraft in formation with the RVSM candidate aircraft. The RVSM is just one of the many Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) requirements which must be met for military aircraft to fly within premium airspace during overseas deployment. The commercial equivalent of GATM is Communications Navigation and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM). Our focus will be on meeting the RVSM certification requirements as related to the test environment.

This essay examines the invention of national security in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s. Whereas previously Americans spoke of ‘national defense,’ by 1945 ‘national security’ became common parlance and Washington began building the national security state. I argue that a group of social scientists at the Institute for Advanced Study called the Princeton Military Studies Group spurred this shift. Led by Edward Mead Earle, members of the group projected geopolitical anxieties—about global economic instability, the failures of the Versailles system, and the rise of totalitarianism—inward on to the United States and helped develop the institutional role of the defense intellectual, construct the cold war university, make citizens into manpower, and popularize geopolitical thinking. Most consequentially, they created a novel way of imagining and speaking about the world. We are the heirs of their national security imagination.Arts, Faculty of

Este trabalho mergulha no mundo de um grupo de extermínio, formado por policiais militares, na busca da compreensão da sua gênese, motivações e relações, não só com o Estado, principalmente com agentes e instituições do Sistema de Justiça Criminal - tais como Polícia Civil, Polícia Militar, Ministério Público e Poder Judiciário, mas com a comunidade - um bairro periférico e de população de baixo poder aquisitivo de Salvador - onde atuava predominantemente. Partindo da análise de documentos extraídos de 19 (dezenove) processos judiciais e complementados com entrevistas com os perpetradores, a pesquisa buscou dimensionar o fenômeno na busca por circunstâncias que possibilitaram a formação e a atuação deste grupo de extermínio, o qual, atuando livremente em um bairro de Salvador, por quase três anos, vitimou, pelo menos, 26 (vinte e seis) pessoas. O estudo ainda revela as dificuldades de adequação das práticas do grupo ao conceito de Vigilantismo, já que aponta para uma atuação mais ampla destes agentes, especializados no uso da violência, dentro de um mercado violento informal. Por fim, as pesquisas revelaram que a força deste grupo de extermínio não se esgotava na violência empreendia por seus agentes, mas que era incrementada com o apoio de uma rede de participantes os quais, ainda que não se envolvessem diretamente nas execuções, lhes garantia informação e proteção, potencializando as ações e o medo provocados pela prática.This paper delves into the world of a death squad formed by military police in the search for understanding of its genesis, motivations and relationships, not only with the state, especially with agents and institutions of the criminal justice system - such as civil police, Military Police, Public Ministry and judiciary, but with the community - an outlying neighborhood and low income population of Salvador - where he worked predominantly. Based on the extracted document analysis of nineteen (19) lawsuits and supplemented with interviews with the perpetrators, the research sought to scale the phenomenon in the search for circumstances that made possible the formation and performance of this death squad, which, freely acting in a neighborhood of Salvador, for almost three years, killed at least 26 (twenty six) people. The study also reveals the difficulties of adapting the group practices the concept of vigilantism, already pointing to a wider action of these agents who specialize in the use of violence within a violent informal market. Finally, the research revealed that the strength of this death squad was not just the violence waged by its agents, but that was increased with the support of a network of participants who, even if not directly involved in the executions, provide them with information and protection, increasing the actions and fear caused by the practice.

As intervenções policiais com resultado morte de civil constituem tema relevante, atual e constantemente debatido em âmbito nacional. Desta forma, a Segurança Pública, desponta como um dos Direitos Fundamentais carreados no texto constitucional vigente, enquanto a atividade policial militar um de seus desdobramentos para a realização do interesse coletivo. Por isso, revelam-se prementes as bases legais que fundamentam a atuação de Polícia Judiciária Militar e, em particular, pela Coordenação de Polícia Judiciária Militar – CPJM, da Corregedoria Geral da Polícia Militar da Bahia. Desta forma, o presente estudo se dedica à apreciação dos casos registrados na aludida seção no período de 2013 a 2014, desencadeados na Capital baiana. Através da metodologia de cunho exploratório quantitativa potencializou-se a análise do tema, com ênfase ao raciocínio dedutivo das informações obtidas. Por ora, a atuação da referida seção trouxe maior celeridade e qualidade dos inquéritos policiais, constituindo salvaguarda dos interesses da sociedade baiana, consoante preceitos da Constituição Federal de 1988.
Police interventions resulting in the death of civilians are a relevant, current and constantly discussed issue at the national level. In this way, Public Security emerges as one of the Fundamental Rights carried in the current constitutional text, while military police activity is one of its consequences for the realization of collective interest. Therefore, the legal bases that support the activities of the Military Judicial Police and, in particular, the Military Judicial Police Coordination (CPJM), of the General Internal Affairs of the Military Police of Bahia, are of paramount importance. In consequence, this study aims to assess the cases registered in the aforementioned section during the period from 2013 to 2014, unleashed in the Capital of Bahia. Through the quantitative exploratory methodology, the analysis of the topic was strengthened, with emphasis on the deductive reasoning of the information obtained. For the time being, the action of this section brought greater speed and quality of police investigations, constituting a safeguard of the interests of society in Bahia, according to the provisions of the Federal Constitution of 1988.

Full textAbstract:
The influence of the role identity expectations of Turkish Hizbullah's leadership on actual members' terrorist identities was documented in this dissertation. This study explored the leadership's identity expectations from members through content analyses of four books written by major figures of Hizbullah. Those books were selected following comments of the literature and expert suggestions. Eleven identity features stood out. These content analyses also revealed that leadership had different expectations from political wing members and military wing members. The following six identity features were listed as expected more from military wing members: belief in jihad and resistance, desire for martyrdom, embracing the hierarchical structure, depersonalization, hatred against enemies of God, and aloneness. Whilst cemaat (religious congregation), being religiously educated, patience (gradualism), dedication to a Muslim brotherhood, and being politically active were listed as expected identity attributes of political wing members. Qualitative analyses investigated these identity features using the available literature and 144 handwritten reports of actual Hizbullah members. To confirm the findings of content and qualitative analyses, quantitative analyses were conducted on the relatively representative sample (144 reports). The results of cross-tabulation and logistic regression demonstrated that two (out of 6) military wing and two (out of 5) political wing identity expectations were not manifested on actual members' Hizbullah identities.

A luta política pela construção de memoriais associados à ditadura civil-militar brasileira (1964-1985) vem ganhando destaque na última década no Brasil a partir do entendimento de que a preservação, o financiamento e a manutenção destes lugares de memória são políticas de Estado, legitimados por instrumentos como o III Plano Nacional de Direitos Humanos (PNDH-3) e o Relatório Final da Comissão Nacional da Verdade (CNV). Os projetos e processos de construção dos lugares de memória da resistência são protagonizados por agentes situados no campo de disputas por memória, verdade e justiça, conformado pelo recente contexto de aprofundamento da justiça de transição no país. Partindo do pressuposto que a articulação destes agentes em busca da legitimação dos lugares de memória da resistência configura uma estratégia para inscrever fatos e histórias no imaginário social, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo descrever como estes projetos e processos são marcados por disputas e assimetrias entre estes agentes, assim como nas suas interações com o poder reificado pelo Estado. Situada e relacional, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo caracterizar e analisar o papel dos atores, bem como as temporalidades, imagens e narrativas que estão em disputa nos processos de construção de memoriais em curso na cidade Salvador (Memorial da Resistência da Bahia, Casa Marighella e Forte do Barbalho), no período de 2011 a 2016.
The political struggle for the construction of memorials associated with the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985) gained prominence in the last decade from the understanding that the preservation, financing and maintenance of these sites of memory are state policies legitimized by instruments such as the Brazil’s 3rd Human Rights National Plan and the Final Report of the National Truth Commission. The building projects and processes of these sites of memory of the resistance are carried out by agents located in the field of disputes for memory, truth and justice, conformed by the recent context of deepening transitional justice in the country. Based on the assumption that the articulation of these agents in search of legitimation of the sites of memory of resistance constitutes a strategy to inscribe facts and stories in the social imaginary, this research aims to describe how these projects and processes are marked by disputes and asymmetries between these agents, as well as in their interactions with the power reified by the State. Situated and relational, this research aims to characterize and analyze the actors, as well as the temporalities, images and narratives that are in dispute in the processes of construction of memorials in progress in the city of Salvador (Bahia’s Resistance Memorial, Marighella’s House and Barbalho’s Fort), from 2011 to 2016.

Full textAbstract:
After a decade of suffering from a lack of attention in second language research, interest in motivational issues has recently shifted the focus of its analysis from the individual as learner to learning as participation in social activities and social worlds. If we accept the notion that language learning results from involvement in communicative events, then to what degree learners participate in an event, if at all, is crucial to that learning. In this thesis I add to the body of research that has begun to examine the complexities of the interface between individuals and learning contexts. I examine the historical, cultural and personal influences that a group of Ukrainian military officers bring to a NATO sponsored immersion program, as well as their perceptions of their place within the power structures that are inherent to this setting.I argue that for the group of learners in this study, second language acquisition theories have not provided an adequate explanation for the reason why they did or did not participate in communicative events both inside and outside the classroom. Drawing on Vygotsky's (1962, 1978) language learning theories and Peirce's (1989, 1993, 1995, 1997) notions of social identity and investment to support my findings, I identify elements that served to marginalize these learners and disempower them, and which were responsible for their apparent lack of investment in language learning. I also suggest how, for some of these officers, changes in their social identities led to more opportunities to practice English and eventually to feel empowered both during the language course and once they returned home.

Full textAbstract:
It was unclear what the actual role of the Family Readiness Group (FRG) was in helping the spouses of U.S. Navy submariners (SMSs) in learning to live the submariner-family lifestyle. Submarines deploy in regular cycles regardless of world conflict. Submariners and their spouses are isolated from each other during deployments, communities of submariner spouses are smaller than other Navy communities, and spouses must acquire unique social capital to manage unique challenges. The purpose of this study was to explore how SMSs experience or perceive the FRG role in their social construction and adaptation to the SMS lifestyle. The examination was guided by Ingram, Schneider, and DeLeon's social construction and policy design theory. Data were collected using an open-ended survey distributed to 83 SMSs through an online survey platform. Data were coded for themes and subthemes using an iterative process including values and process coding. Key results were that SMSs construct themselves differently than how they are constructed by policy principals. Among SMSs, benefits and burdens perceived to be distributed by the FRG program are different than the distribution of actual benefits and burdens. These differences influenced participants' engagement with the FRG program. More research is needed to define this influence and to explore the origins of relationships that increase lifestyle capital. The implication for social change is that a better understanding of the nature of SMS lifestyles can contribute to better policy decisions and improved program design, leading to better outcomes for military spouses.

A infecção do trato urinário (ITU) é considerada a segunda infecção mais comum em humanos, estima-se que ocorram cerca de 150 milhões de casos de ITUs por ano no mundo. O aumento das taxas de resistência aos antimicrobianos entre os uropatógenos tem tornado mais difícil o tratamento das ITUs. Objetivo: Determinar a distribuição clonal das cepas de E. coli isoladas em pacientes com ITU adquirida na comunidade de acordo com o perfil de susceptibilidade aos antimicrobianos e avaliar o papel dos grupos clonais na disseminação e persistência da resistência nestas infecções. Métodos: Foram isoladas 874 cepas de E. coli em pacientes com ITU, procedentes de unidades ambulatoriais em três hospitais na cidade de Salvador–Ba, no período de 2001 a 2009. O perfil de susceptibilidade foi determinado por microdiluição em placa (Microscan-Siemens®). Nas amostras selecionadas para genotipagem (n=275), a identificação dos grupos clonais foi realizada pela comparação dos padrões de PFGE, utilizando os critérios de Tenover (1995). Em todas as etapas do estudo foi utilizada como controle de qualidade a cepa ATCC E. coli 25922. Resultado: Entre os antibióticos testados, a maior prevalência de resistência foi encontrada para ampicilina (AMP) (49%), cefalotina (12-33%) e sulfametoxazol-trimetropin (SXT) (36-42%). A taxa de resistência à ciprofloxacina (CIP) variou de 9 a 14%. Na análise da distribuição clonal, segundo os fenótipos de resistência aos antimicrobianos, encontramos maior predomínio de um grupo clonal CgA (63%) entre as cepas consideradas multidroga resistentes. Diferentemente das amostras com algum grau de resistência ou multi-sensíveis, nas quais observamos diversidade clonal. Conclusão: A alta prevalência de resistência a SXT, AMP e cefalotina contraindica o uso destes antimicrobianos no tratamento empírico das ITU adquiridas na comunidade. A taxa de resistência à CIP relativamente alta, alerta para o aumento e disseminação de resistência a este antimicrobiano na comunidade. Isto irá dificultar e onerar o tratamento destas infecções. Observamos a surgimento de um grupo clonal (CgA) no período final do estudo (2008 a 2009) associado às cepas multidroga resistentes. Este achado sugere que a expansão de determinados clones pode ter um papel importante na disseminação de resistência bacteriana em ITUs adquiridas na comunidade.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is considered the second most common infection in humans. It is estimated that there are about 150 million cases of UTIs per year worldwide. Increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens challenges UTI treatments. Objective: To determine the distribution of clonal strains of E. coli isolated from patients with community-acquired UTI according to the profile of antimicrobial susceptibility; and to evaluate the role of clonal groups in the spread and persistence of resistance in these infections. Methods: Eight hundred seventy four strains of E. coli were isolated from patients with UTI, coming from outpatient clinics in three hospitals in the city of Salvador - Bahia, from 2001 to 2009. The susceptibility profile was determined by broth microdilution method (Siemens - Microscan ®). The samples selected for genotyping (n = 275) were identified for clonal groups by comparing the patterns of PFGE, using the criteria of Tenover (1995). All study stages were quality control by strain E. coli ATCC 25922. Results: Among the antibiotics tested, the highest prevalence of resistance was for ampicillin (AMP) (49%) followed by trimethoprim - sulfamethoxazole (SXT) (36-42%) and for cephalothin (12-33%). The rate of resistance to ciprofloxacin (CIP) ranged between 9-14 %. In the Clonal Analysis distribution, performed according to antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, we found a higher prevalence of a clonal group CgA (63%) among multidrug resistant strains. This result differs from samples with some degree of resistance or multi-sensitive in which we observed clonal diversity. Conclusion: The high prevalence of resistance to SXT, AMP, and cephalothin contraindicate the use of these antibiotics in the empirical treatment of community-acquired UTI. The relatively high rate of resistance to CIP, raises attention to the increase and spread of antimicrobial resistance in this community and potentially complicate and encumber the treatment of these infections. We observe the emergence of a clonal group (CgA) in the final period of the study (2008-2009) associated with multidrug resistant strains. This finding suggests that the expansion of particular clones may have an important role in the spread of bacterial resistance in community-acquired UTI.

Este trabalho trata da segurança pública no estado democrático de direito brasileiro, os estudos se concentram nos sentidos e significados que compõem as ações de manutenção da ordem pública nos momentos de protestos em espaços públicos. Em um recorte histórico mais detalhado, centra-se nos protestos protagonizados por jovens nos dez primeiros anos do século XXI, nas ruas de Salvador-Bahia. A tese defendida é que a repressão de ações coletivas de protestos por parte da policia militar não pode ser explicada exclusivamente pelo passado ditatorial (ainda com impactos na atuação das forças de segurança pública no país) como expressão de uma política de controle social, mas também como expressão de uma noção de ordem (e desordem) decorrente de julgamentos ideológicos pautados em estereótipos e preconceitos sobre a conduta (in)desejada de determinados indivíduos - julgamentos estes, constituídos pelo intercruzamento de variáveis relacionadas aos valores quanto às questões raciais/étnicas, geracionais, de classe e gênero. Valores socioculturais também expressos quando do uso do poder discricionário do policial para definição de quem, quando e como se provoca a des(ordem), na margem deixada pela Constituição Brasileira. Aqui, não se trata de desonerar (ou desculpabilizar) a estrutura ou uma instituição nela inserida para onerar indivíduos por “atos mal feitos”, antes, a questão é alcançar as variáveis e seus intercruzamentos nos momentos de ações e assim contribuir para reflexão sobre uso e abuso da força, ampliando a compreensão do fenômeno. Assim, a investigação enfrenta uma permanente tensão entre estrutura e situação, entre explicação de ordem estrutural e explicação de ordem situacional - de um lado, está o campo da segurança pública que expressa a própria estrutura com uma dinâmica mais resistente às mudanças sociais e, por outro lado, está o campo dos movimentos sociais, que expressa na maioria das vezes o questionamento das estruturas e organizações sociais e por isso são inovadores, indicadores de mudanças sociais e pulsadores da sociedade. Como tema que ainda carece de um campo próprio constituído, tomam-se como fluídas as fronteiras das disciplinais (ciência política, sociologia, antropologia, história, direito) e recorre-se às teorias e teóricos agregados em quatro grandes grupos não unanimes nas abordagens e visões, mas que orientaram a investigação, a saber: teorização sobre estado democrático de direito; teorização sobre o sistema cidadão de segurança pública no estado democrático de direito; teorização sobre a criminalização das ações coletivas de protestos em espaços públicos no estado democrático de direito e, por fim, a teorização sobre os ciclos de protestos. A pesquisa empírica adotou a abordagem metodológica qualitativa, analisando representações sociais, cujo acesso se deu através da captura de discursos oficiais apreendidos via documentos; discursos mediáticos e discursos dos próprios agentes policiais militares. This paper discusses public security of the democratic state in Brazil. Our studies focus on the senses and meanings of actions for the maintenance of law and order during protests in public spaces. At a certain historic moment, it focuses on the protests led by young people in the first years of the 21st century on the streets of Salvador-Bahia. We argue that the suppression of protests by the military police cannot be explained only by the dictatorial past (it still presents impacts on the actions of the public security of our country) as expression of a policy of social control, but also as expression of a notion of order (or disorder) that results from ideological judgments based on stereotypes and prejudices about (not) desired conduct of some individuals – judgments that are based on the mixing of variables related to values of racial/ethnic, generational, class and gender. Sociocultural values are also expressed by the use of arbitrary power by the police for definition of who, when and how to provoke (dis)order, according to the margin left by the Brazilian Constitution. It is not a about exonerating (or excusing) the structure or an institution to be a burden on individuals for “bad behaviors”. The question is to achieve the variables and their interbreeding in times of action, contributing to the reflection on use and misuse of force in a way we can understand the phenomenon. Thus, the investigation faces a permanent tension between the structure and the situation, between the explanation of the structural order and the explanation of the situational order – on one hand there is the public security, which expresses its own structure according to a more resistant dynamics to social changes, and on the other hand there are the social movements, which usually expresses the questioning of structures and social organizations, and therefore they are innovative, indicators of social changes and motivators of society. Being a theme which needs a proper field, it is possible to see the shared borders among disciplines like political science, sociology, anthropology, history, law, and we use theories and authors from four large groups which do not share the same approaches and visions, but which are the base of our investigation: theorization of the democratic state; theorization of the citizen system of public security in the democratic state; theorization of criminalization of collective actions of protests in public spaces in the democratic state; and theorization of the protests cycles. Our empirical search is based on a qualitative methodology, and we analyze social representations through the capture of official discourses from documents, media discourses and military discourses.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis will examine the British way of war as experienced by two British Infantry Divisions - the 43rd ‘Wessex’ and 53rd ‘Welsh’ - during the Overlord campaign in North West Europe in 1944 and 1945. The main locus of research centres on the fighting components of those divisions; the infantry battalions and their supporting regiments. In order to understand the way the British fought this part of the war, the thesis will consider the British Army’s history since 1918: its level of expertise at the end of the First World War; the impact of inter-war changes, and the experience of the early part of the Second World War, as these factors were fundamental in shaping how the British Army operated during the period covered in this study. These themes will be considered in the first chapter. The following seven chapters will study each of the two infantry divisions in turn, to maintain a chronological order. This is so that the experiences of each division can be examined in a logical way, from their initial experiences of combat in late June 1944 through to March 1945. Naturally, their major battles will be considered but so will their minor engagements and day-to-day experiences, as this will give a good, detailed, overview of each division’s campaign. This layout of chapters is also convenient for allowing comparisons between the two divisions as the campaign progressed. This thesis contains several strands of enquiry which will consider how Montgomery’s prosecution of the war actually translated to the smaller units of the division (the battalions, 4 companies, platoons and sections). The historiography for this campaign tends to suggest that the British Army fought the war in a cautious way, and that this approach was characterised by the use of overwhelming material superiority and rehearsed set piece attacks; tactics that were designed not only to destroy the enemy, but also to avoid the heavy casualties of the major battles of the First World War; a factor that was perceived to be vital to the maintenance of fragile infantry morale. Although the basic premise of a ‘cautious’ British way of war is generally accepted (along with its attendant emphasis on consolidation of objectives rather than exploitation of opportunities, and a reliance on adherence to lengthy orders), this study will conclude that the way the war was fought at sub-divisional levels was frequently at a pace that did not allow for such caution. Instead, it was characterised by command pressure to achieve results quickly, hasty planning and a reliance on massive artillery and mortar contributions to compensate for deficiencies in anti-tank and armoured support. This thesis will further conclude that a conscious policy of casualty conservation appears not to have been a priority at divisional command level, but was instead a consideration for company, platoon and section commanders and the men that they led.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis examines the Norwegian Army Cadets‟ worldview in light of Complexity Theory and the implications of this theory for leadership. The investigation uses two contradicting theories as a point of departure, Complexity Theory and Newtonian Theory. Complexity Theory is a Social Science-theory that originates from the Natural Science-theory of Quantum Physics where aspect such as non-linearity, chaos and self-organization are highlighted. Furthermore, holistic thinking and bottom-up processes are emphasized. Newtonian Theory is on the other hand based on a mechanistic and reductionist worldview where a constant strife to achieve balance and control through deterministic- and rational mechanisms are highlighted. A Newtonian system thus operates in a causal- and relatively closed environment where change is incremental and top-down driven. Using Complexity Theory as a theoretical starting point speaks for a shift in the way we look at leadership. Traditional leadership theories are normally based on the assumptions of Newtonian thinking, i.e. objectivity, reductionism and determinism. A traditional leader is actively shaping the future through regulations that ultimately end in the obtainment of goals. In other words, the processes are characterized as rational, “hard” and incremental. A Complexity Approach, on the other hand, supports Complexity Theory Principles such as self-organizational processes and chaos. Hence, leaders in complex systems should function as enablers of bottom-up processes and embrace chaos and uncertainty as something positive and nourishing. Furthermore, leaders in complex systems use vision and values as guiding principles and focus on micro-level interactions as opposed to a rule-bound and technical approach. The results from the empirical survey reveal that the Norwegian Army Cadets have a relatively balanced worldview towards Complexity Theory- and Newtonian Principles. On the one hand, a number of strong Newtonian trends such as the perception of conflict, chaos and change as something negative and the embracement of a direct and “hard” leadership style are evident. On the other hand, the Cadets express an adherence towards typical Complexity Theory Principles such as relationship orientation and informal leadership. Hence, it can be argued that the Cadets‟ worldview have elements of both Newtonian Theory and Complexity Theory. This study can be used to evaluate the effect of the current educational paradigm in the Norwegian Army and simultaneously contribute to further insight and discussion around the field of leadership.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie verhandeling ondersoek die wêreldbeskouing van Norweegse Leër-kadette in die lig van die Kompleksiteitsteorie, en die implikasies van dié teorie vir leierskap. Twee teenstrydige teorieë word as vertrekpunt in die ondersoek gebruik, naamlik. Kompleksiteitsteorie en Newtoniaanse Teorie. Kompleksiteitsteorie is „n Sosiale Wetenskapsteorie wat uit die Natuurwetenskaplike teorie van Kwantum-Fisika ontstaan het, met klem op aspekte soos nie-lineariteit, chaos en self-organisasie. Verder word holisitiese denke en prosesse wat van onder na bo werk, beklemtoon. Newtoniaanse Teorie, aan die ander kant, is gebaseer op „n meganistiese en reduksionistiese wêreldbeeld, met klem op „n konstante strewe na balans en kontrole deur deterministiese en rasionele meganismes. ‟n Newtonianse sisteem opereer dus binne ‟n kousale en relatief geslote omgewing, waar verandering inkrementeel is en van bo na onder gedryf word. Die gebruik van Kompleksiteitsteorie as ‟n teoretiese vertrekpunt dui op ‟n verandering in die manier waarop ons leierskap benader. Tradisionele leierskap-teorieë is normaalweg gebaseer op Newtoniaanse denke, d.w.s. objektiwiteit, reduksionisme en determinisme. ‟n Tradisionele leier vorm die toekoms aktief deur regulasies wat uitloop op die bereiking van doelstellings. Met ander woorde, die prosesse word gekarakteriseer as rasioneel, ”hard” en inkrementeel. „n Kompleksiteitsteorie-benadering aan die ander kant, ondersteun beginsels van Kompleksiteitsteorie soos self-organiserende prosesse en chaos. Leiers in komplekse sisteme moet dus funksioneer deur prosesse wat van onder na bo werk moontlik te maak, en deur chaos en onsekerheid as iets positief en voedend te beskou. Verder gebruik leiers in komplekse sisteme visie en waardes as riglyne, en fokus op mikro-vlak interaksies in teenstelling met ‟n reël gebonde en tegniese benadering. Die resultate van die empiriese studie toon aan dat Noorweegse Leër-kadette „n relatief gebalanseerde wêreldbeskouing het t.o.v Kompleksiteitsteorie- en Newtoniaanse beginsels. Aan die een kant, is daar duidelik ‟n aantal sterk Newtoniaanse tendense teenwoordig, soos die persepsie van konflik, chaos en verandering as iets negatiefs, en die aanhang van ‟n direkte en ”harde” leierskapstyl. Aan die ander kant, is daar ‟n neiging tot tipiese beginsels van Kompleksiteitsteori soos verhoudingsoriëntering en informele leierskap. Dit kan dus aangevoer word dat die Kadette se wêreldbeskouing elemente van sowel Newtoniaanse Teorie as Kompleksitetsteorie bevat. Hierdie studie kan gebruik word om die effek van die huidige onderwysparadigma in die Noorweegse Leër te evalueer, en terselfdertyd ‟n bydrae lewer tot dieper insig in en besprekning van die terrein van leierskap.

Full textAbstract:
Försvarsmakten är en av Sveriges största myndigheter och ungefär en tredjedel av alla medarbetare är civila. Myndigheten har som strategisk inriktning att tillväxa och andelen civila chefer ökar. Denna studie utforskar dynamiken, förutsättningar och friktioner för samverkan, mellan militära och civila chefer inom den militära professionen, för att skapa en djupare förståelse för deras påverkan på den operativa effekten. Många civila chefer jobbar med att stödja och effektivisera arbetet i myndigheten och har samma befogenheter som militära chefer när det kommer till verksamhetsledning. I en friktionsfri miljö fungerar samverkan mellan civila och militära chefer, och synergieffekterna gynnar organisationen. Trots ett kollegialt förhållningssätt har civila och militära chefer olika utgångspunkter för sina normer och värderingar. Vid en beredskapshöjning ökar kraven på personalen i Försvarsmakten, och den civila personalen övergår till militär personal. De civila cheferna har då lagligt stöd att fatta beslut om våldsanvändning, även om det kan vara direkt olämpligt. Förutsättningarna mellan civila och militära chefer blir då mer och mer diffusa och är därav inte längre lika tydliga. Försvarsmaktens befattningsstruktur och mandatförhållanden behöver ses över. Det måste finnas förutsättningar för uppdragstaktik, och fördelningen mellan kärnverksamhet och stödjande verksamhet behöver utredas. De civila cheferna måste ges möjlighet att förstå den militära kontexten och spänningarna mellan professionerna inom den militära professionen måste omhändertas. Kärnan av studien är en empirisk kartläggning som inhämtats genom intervjuer och är en kvalitativ studie med en induktiv ansats där analysen är inspirerad av Grounded Theory.The Swedish Armed Forces is one of Sweden's largest government agencies. Approximately one third of all employees are civilians and its strategic focus is currently to grow and the proportion of civilian managers is increasing. This study explores the dynamics, conditions and frictions for collaboration, between military and civilian leadership within the military profession, in order to create a deeper understanding of their impact on operational outcome. One of the main duties for civilian managers is to support and increase the efficiency of the work for the Swedish Armed Forces. When it comes to operational management civilians have the same authority as the officers in a frictionless environment. The organization benefits of the collaboration between civilian and military leadership, when the operational is running smoothly. Despite a collegial approach, civilian and military managers have different point of views regarding their norms and values. At a contingency escalation, the demands on the personnel in the Swedish Armed Forces elevate. The civilian personnel will switch to military personnel and the civil managers then have legal support to make decisions about the use of force, although this may be directly inappropriate. The basic presumptions between civilian and military leadership are becoming more diffuse and less clear. The staff structure and mandate conditions need to be reviewed. There must be prerequisites for mission-type tactics, and the distribution between core and support activities needs to be investigated. The civilian managers must be given the opportunity to understand the military context and the tensions between the professions in the military profession must be dealt with. The core of this thesis is an empirical mapping of data, which were obtained through interviews. The study is based on a qualitative research method with an inductive approach where the final analysis is inspired by Grounded Theory.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the concept of safety as it encompasses the personal and technological spheres as imagined by a group of active duty service members, veterans, a police officer, and civilians, as well as the agency exercised by those with military or police backgrounds when it comes to safety technology. A group of seventeen individuals took part in a battlefield simulation to test a wearable junctional tourniquet created by ARMR Systems, LLC, an innovative advancement in tourniquet technology. After the simulation, participants were interviewed, surveyed, and took part in a focus group to determine not only product suitability but also to explore the underlying reasons for their recommendations for product changes. Results showed that those with military or police background performed safety rituals prior to duty and exercised agency in the desire to obtain the best possible personal safety devices and technology to be used for themselves and their comrade-in-arms. All participants expressed concerns for their safety in regards to technology in general, specifically, the hacking and use of personal data and what is perceived as lack of governmental oversight. Almost all of the changes to improve product safety, comfort, and utility were adapted. The topics discovered during the course of this research proves a need for safety product testing from an applied anthropological perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Many complex and interdependent systems engineering challenges involve more than one stakeholder or decision maker. These challenges, such as the definition and acquisition of future air mobility systems, are often found in situations where resources are finite, objectives are conflicting, constraints are restricting, and uncertainty in future outcomes prevail. Air mobility operational models which simulate fleet wide behavior effects over time, in various mission scenarios, and potentially over the entire design life-cycle, are always multi-dimensional, cover a large decision space, and require significant time to generate sufficient solutions to adequately describe the design space. This challenge is coupled with the fact that, in these highly integrated solutions or acquisitions, multiple stakeholders or decision makers are required to cooperate and reach agreement in selecting or defining the requirements for the design or solution and in its costly and lengthy implementation. However, since values, attitudes, and experiences are different for each decision maker, reaching consensus across the multiple criteria with different preferences and objectives is often a slow and highly convoluted process. In response to these common deficiencies and to provide quantitative analyses, this research investigates and proposes solutions to two challenges: 1) increase the speed at which operational solutions and associated requirements are generated and explored, and 2) systematize the group decision-making process, to both accelerate and improve decision making in these large operational problems requiring cooperation. The development of the Air Mobility Operations Design (AirMOD) model is proposed to address the first challenge by implementing and leveraging surrogate models of airlift capability across a wide scenario space. In addressing the second major challenge, the proposed Multi-Agent Consensus Reaching on the Objective Space (MACRO) methodology introduces a process to reduce the feasible decision space, by identifying regions of high probability of consensus reaching, using preference distributions, power relationships, and game-theoretic techniques. In a case study, the MACRO methodology is demonstrated on a large air mobility solution space generated by AirMOD to illustrate plausibility of the overall approach. AirMOD and MACRO offer considerable advantages over current methods to better define the operational design space and improve group decision-making processes requiring cooperation, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo central reconstituir a trajetória do poeta brasileiro Nilton Rosa da Silva, enfocando seu período como exilado político no Chile, entre 1971 e 1973. Em Santiago, Nilton da Silva estudou castelhano no Instituto Pedagógico da Universidade do Chile, publicou o livro de poesias Hombre América, e passou a militar na Frente de Estudiantes Revolucionarios (FER), um dos grupos estudantis do Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR). O jovem brasileiro seria morto aos 24 anos de idade, em junho de 1973 (três meses antes do golpe de Estado liderado por Augusto Pinochet), por membros da Frente Nacionalista Patria y Libertad, milícia de ultradireita que lutava pela derrubada do presidente Salvador Allende. Defendendo a revolução armada para colocar o Chile no caminho do socialismo, mesmo durante o governo democrático da Unidad Popular (UP), o MIR era visto com reservas por setores moderados da esquerda. Ao mesmo tempo, porém, a organização procurava – desde fora – radicalizar os partidos da UP. A partir da análise da vida de Nilton da Silva, e das repercussões da sua morte, é possível discutir as disputas entre as estratégias “rupturista” e “sistêmica” da esquerda chilena durante o governo Allende, as possibilidades de acordo que se desenharam entre esses setores, e as maneiras como o MIR procurou conquistar esferas mais amplas para sua retórica em favor da necessidade de pegar em armas. Os usos políticos do assassinato de Nilton da Silva estão relacionados a essa busca: através da análise das apropriações do episódio, apreende-se o uso imediato que o MIR fez de sua morte, tentando construir o jovem militante como um mártir revolucionário em um período de crescente temor frente a um golpe reacionário. Discute-se, ademais, a forma como a vida e a morte de Nilton da Silva seriam eventualmente ressignificada nas décadas seguintes, passando a incluí-lo em uma narrativa mais ampla, ao lado de outras vítimas das ditaduras brasileira e chilena.This thesis aims to recreate the trajectory of the Brazilian poet Nilton Rosa da Silva, focusing on his time as a political exile in Chile, from 1971 to 1973. In Santiago, Silva studied Spanish at the Pedagogical Institute of the University of Chile, published his poetry book Hombre América, and became a member of the Revolutionary Students Front (FER), one of Revolutionary Left Movement’s (MIR) groups in the student movement. The young Brazilian was killed at the age of 24 in June 1973 (three months prior to the coup led by Augusto Pinochet), by members of the Fatherland and Liberty Nationalist Front, a far-right militia that fought to overthrow the president, Salvador Allende. Advocating the need of an armed revolution to place Chile in the path of Socialism, even during the Popular Unity’s (UP) democratic administration, MIR was seen with hesitations by the moderate left. At the same time, however, MIR sought to radicalize the UP parties. By analyzing Nilton da Silva’s life and the impact of his death, it is possible to discuss the disputes between the “rupturist” and “systemic” strategies of the Chilean left during the Allende administration, the chances of agreement between these sectors, and the ways in which MIR sought to conquer wider segments to its rhetoric in favor of the need to take up arms. The political uses of Nilton da Silva’s murder are related to this goal: by examining the appropriation of his death, we are able to see the immediate use that MIR did of this episode, trying to construct the young activist as a revolutionary martyr in a period of growing fear towards a reactionary coup. This work discusses, moreover, how the life and death of Nilton da Silva would eventually be re-signified in the following decades, now being included in a broader narrative, along with other victims of the Brazilian and Chilean dictatorships.

The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the degree of influence of the military-industrial complex on the foreign policy decision-making process of the state by examining the examples of certain countries with a large and developed defense industry. In terms of this thesis there were analyzed the contemporary trends in global military expenditures and the dynamics of the global arms transfers. A critical point is evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of the extensive investing in the military-industrial complex of state.
