Relevância do Estado no desenvolvimento e inserção internacional da Embraer a partir do setor de Defesa & Segurança

Abstract

Embraer originated as a state-run industry in Brazil and emerged as a pivotal element of the country’s developmental nationalism. The integration of research and technical training in aeronautical engineering within the same region facilitated rapid technological advancement, positioning Brazil among the world’s leading aircraft producers. This research examines the close relationship between the rise of the Defense & Security aeronautics industry in Brazil and the government's significant investment in the development and innovation of this sector. The objective is to outline the actions taken by the government to promote both the development and internationalization of Embraer. It draws on the theoretical framework of Peter Evans (2004), who emphasizes the importance of state involvement in the economy, along with insights from Paulo Gala and André Roncaglia (2020), who link the success of the world’s top high-tech industries to government support through targeted programs and public policies.
