Brazilian National Defence Policy: foreign policy,national security,economic growth,and technological innovation

ABSTRACT

With the world’s ninth largest economy and comprising nearly 60% of South America’s GDP, 47% of its territory, and 49% of its population, Brazil has become a regional power and an important actor in world affairs over recent decades. This scenario has led the government to re-evaluate its role in the world order, resulting in the enactment of the National Defence Policy, whose objective was to consolidate the country as a regional power while at the same time addressing national security issues, promoting economic development through a series of defence programmes, restructuring the defence industrial base, fostering innovation through technology and knowledge transfer to Brazil, and indigenous research and development. However, the policy’s implementation suffers from several challenges discussed in this article, which may test the capability and competence of Brazilian policymakers, military, industrialists, and other individuals and organisations involved in its implementation.     

关于高技术力量平战一体国防动员的思考

坚持向科技创新要战斗力,落实到国防动员建设领域,就是要紧紧围绕党在新形势下的强军目标,积极适应现代战争形态新变化、世界军事变革新趋势、总体国家安全新要求和军队使命任务新拓展,加强高技术力量平战一体国防动员,搭建起高技术力量在经济与军事、地方与军队、潜力与实力、平时与战时的桥梁和纽带,全面提升国防动员战时应战、急时应急、平时服务能力,为保障军队能打仗、打胜仗提供强大科技支撑。     

民族区域自治地区推进信息化和发展信息产业的战略思考

信息技术已经成为当今世界经济与社会发展的主要驱动力,信息产业也已经成为新世纪具有强劲发展实力的经济增长点.民族区域自治地区实施西部大开发战略,实现超越式发展,加快现代化建设的步伐,提高国民经济发展的质量与素质,必须重视对信息化推进和信息产业发展的依靠.但民族区域自治地区推进信息化和发展信息产业的基础条件较差,发展速度亟待进一步加快,发展层次亟待进一步提升,因此,必须要有超常规的强有力措施来推进,需要作为"一号工程"来实施.     

建国六十年来国防法制理论研究的基本经验

建国六十年来,我国国防法制理论研究,始终坚持军地结合、基础先行、服务治军和理论创新,取得了令人瞩目的成就,积累了丰富的历史经验。     

境外反恐行动的理论研究与实践探索

境外反恐行动在国际上已有大量先例,对于一个境外目标面临恐怖威胁或遭受恐怖袭击的国家,是不容回避的现实问题。通过对境外反恐行动产生的根源、各国境外反恐的对策、采取的方式及其制约因素的综合分析,能够得出有益的启示。反恐怖斗争的严峻现实和发展趋势,要求我们探索境外反恐对策,切实保护国家利益和人民生命财产安全,同时为国际反恐斗争作出应有的贡献。     

论新疆区内初中班的创办对少数民族基础教育发展的创新

新疆举办区内初中班是促进少数民族基础教育事业发展的必需。区内初中班的创办具有重要意义,它是党和国家、自治区为新疆培养人才、缩小中西部教育差距的民心工程;同时,区内初中班的创办又是对少数民族基础教育的创新。     

国防生体育教学形式拓展探究

地方高校国防生的体育教学训练往往沿袭了普通大学生的体育教学形式,针对性不强,影响了国防生军事体育素质的提高。通过调查分析指出,国防生体育教学训练形式应从开展新生体能强化训练、军事体育竞赛等方面来进行拓展。     

从《关于民族问题的批评意见》一文看列宁民族理论思想——纪念列宁诞辰140周年

20世纪初,民族问题是西欧和俄国阶级斗争的焦点之一,解决民族问题成为无产阶级革命的当务之急。列宁从俄国民族斗争的实际出发,撰写了《关于民族问题的批评意见》一文,此文是列宁研究俄国民族问题的集大成之作。列宁以马克思主义民族理论为指导,澄清资产阶级和机会主义者在民族问题上散布的谬论和制造的混乱,批判了资产阶级和机会主义者鼓吹超阶级的民族文化的反动谬论,为解决俄国民族问题指明了方向。     

高校体育教学中开展国防教育的思考

通过体育与国防的互动关系入手了,剖析体育既是强身健体的娱乐活动,也是提高国防能力的重要途径和手段;从高校体育教学功能和国防建设的要求上入手,提出在体育教学中开展国防教育是进行国防教育的补充和拓展,并具有得天独厚的优势,有助于形成终身国防意识;开展国防教育的关键是挖掘体育教育的文化功能,把爱国主义贯穿到体育教学中;最后提出将军事体育项目可引入高校体育教学中,既丰富了体育教学的内容,也是承载国防教育的良好载体,推进国防教育的开展和实施。     

Militarism in post-war Cyprus: the development of the ideology of defence

This article provides a theorisation of militarism in post-war Cyprus. Based on qualitative empirical research conducted in Cyprus in 2011, the article explores the manifestation and steadfastness of Greek-Cypriot militarism, and the development of this militarism, which appeared after the partition of the island in 1974. In particular, it proposes the ideology of defence as a way to understand post-war Greek-Cypriot militarism. It shows the embedded nature of defence in the idea of the national struggle. It aims at mapping the character of this militarism in order to provide the grounds for future discussion. Only by understanding the interconnecting discourses that made Greek-Cypriot militarism possible in post-war Cyprus, can we understand its past, present, and future.
