Abstract

This dissertation seeks to analyze the implementation of the Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON) Pilot Project and verify the contributions undertaken by the strategic project of the Army in operations to combat transnational crimes on the western border of Brazil, from 2012 to 2021. About the border arches and the Brazilian initiatives for the borders, the geographical cut of this work will be what corresponds to the border strip of the Central Arc, especially Mato Grosso do Sul and the borders of Brazil with Paraguay. Starting from a theoretical approach that privileges the regional level of studies on international security and in accordance with the objectives of this work, the analysis will be epistemologically oriented based on a perspective of international relations, the securitization theory proposed by the Copenhagen School. By applying the theory to the case of drug trafficking on the Brazilian border, the Copenhagen School assigns responsibility to the political and military sectors. The first is a theme that can shake or damage the organizational balance of the State, and the second, by the involvement of the Armed Forces in the issue, being this connection to the proof of the securitization of the theme. Methodologically, this work is intended inductive and is based on a qualitative approach. The methodology used is based on a bibliographical, theoretical and descriptive analysis and the expected contribution to the research will be through the systematization and reflection of the theoretical support when using data and theoretical categories previously elucidated by others and other researchers, and documentary research.
