MILITARY AND POLITICS IN BRAZIL

Abstract

The author of the aforementioned work, along with the contributing co-authors, identifies that the Armed Forces have never been absent from Brazil’s political history. This enduring presence demonstrates that the military is neither apolitical nor politically disengaged. On the contrary, the military has historically occupied a central role in political power. With the establishment of the Republic, political disputes arose among various military factions—whose presence in the constituent congress once reached a quarter of its members—marking the beginning of a contradictory and lasting intervention in Brazilian politics, a proximity that continues to the present day.
