A renovação da arquitetura de treinamento para operações de paz da ONU e seu impacto no Brasil

Abstract

The research in international literature to understand how the knowledge about policies, institutions and ideas in one political atmosphere is used in the development of those in another political setting has been growing recently. Therefore aiming to contribute to Brazilian literature the dissertation focuses on the understanding of how international organizations impact the behavior of countries. The analysis is carried out by studying the effects produced by the evolution of the training architecture for peace missions at the UN on the Brazilian agenda of training human resources for peace operations. This study seeks to identify the theoretical expectations of the international diffusion of policies analyzing the empirical evidence, having the following research question: How the evolution of the training architecture for UN peace operations, occurred from the Brahimi report, have impacted the Brazilian training agenda for peacekeeping operation in the period between 2004 and 2017? Based on international policy diffusion theory and punctuated equilibrium model, we argue that the data support the hypothesis that emulation is the primary mechanism of policy diffusion from the UN peacekeeping training architecture to Brazilian peacekeeping training agenda, generating institutional and procedural changes. It indicates paths for future research, presenting a possibility of using the international diffusion of policies and their causal mechanisms to analyze the relations among UN and their member states.
