Diplomacia aeroespacial brasileira
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article investigates the emerging Brazilian Aerospace Diplomacy, employing a comparative methodology with Naval Diplomacy. The study seeks to analyze the potential of Aerospace Diplomacy for Brazil's power projection in the 21st century, particularly in the context of the growing relevance of Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing Vehicles (eVTOLs). The research is based on a bibliographical review of classic and contemporary authors in International Relations, such as Alfred Mahan, Herbert Richmond, Giulio Douhet and Joseph Nye, and a case study of the Brazilian Aerospace Technical Mission (MTAB) in Asunción, Paraguay. From the comparative analysis, the article argues that Brazilian dominance in eVTOL air traffic control, coupled with a Soft Power strategy, can consolidate the country's regional leadership, boost its aerospace industry, and contribute to a cooperative security environment in South America.
