Book Review: Transforming military power since the Cold War: Britain, France, and the United States, 1991-2012
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 27
Abstract
A obra aborda os processos de mudança adotados pelos exércitos dos Estados Unidos, Reino Unido e França após a guerra fria. Os autores relacionam a conjuntura reinante com os imperativos político estratégicos de cada um dos países citados e como esses imperativos se tornaram processos de mudança no poder militar. Cada um dos países foi tratado em um capítulo específico, tratando da visão de futuro do respectivo exército, dos processos e projetos visualizados para essa transformação e os motivos de sucesso ou fracasso das iniciativas. Ao concluir, os autores ressaltam a relevância dos aspectos culturais e como esses aspectos moldaram ou limitaram os processos de mudança, de modo que processos com objetivos semelhantes obtiveram resultados muito diferentes. Destaca-se o fato de que o Exército Brasileiro atravessa um processo de transformação conceitualmente semelhante, aumentando a relevância da obra resenhada.
