This study was designed to examine the relationships between the doctrines of Soviet air power and the changes in aviation capability affected through technological advancement. The Study was limited in scope to those changes in aviation technology which have had large scale application, and were examined from a historical perspective.The study was accomplished by dividing Soviet air power into five distinct segments based on existing Soviet administrative divisions. The divisions are as follows: Frontal Aviation, Strategic Aviation, Military Transport/Commercial Aviation, Air Defense Aviation and Naval Aviation. The growth of each segment and the development of its unique role within the structure of Soviet air power, from its earliest beginnings, was examined historically and analyzed for technologically induced change. When the effects of technological change extended across two or more segments of Soviet air power, each segment was analyzed on an individual basis. While the examination of the question failed to yield a clearly definable direct link between the advancements of Soviet aviation technology and the development of the doctrines of Soviet air power, it did reveal a positive correlation between the expansion of the role of Soviet air power and the advances made in aviation technology. Clearly the ability of the Soviet aviation industry to produce ever more capable aircraft has allowed the various segments of Soviet air power to develop ever more challenging doctrines.

FC Erasmus became South Africa's defence minister in 1948 after two decades as a leading political organiser for the National Party. Although an architect of the Nationalists' post-war election victory he was not considered a minister of the first rank. Erasmus initiated a process of ridding the defence force of officers who he believed were associated with the Smuts government and replacing them with party supporters. As a result the military often lost experienced and talented officers. Erasmus felt that the armed services had been too British in ethos and appearance. He inaugurated tighter regulations on bi-lingualism, reintroduced boer rank titles, launched new uniforms and original medals and decorations, to the acclaim of the volk. His purpose was to have a defence force which was uniquely South African. Many of his policies came under attack not only from the United Party but also groups such as the Torch Commando and the veterans organisations. With the apparent lack of an imminent military threat to the apartheid government Erasmus never received substantial budgetary allocations from finance ministers. The defence force, one without conscription, remained small with largely antiquated equipment for the important air and land forces. However by the decade's end the navy was gradually receiving modern ships under the terms of the Simonstown agreement, which Erasmus had negotiated with Britain. The events of the Sharpeville crisis, just after Erasmus left defence, demonstrated that the armed forces as moulded by the minister were in poor condition to assist the civil power in suppressing disturbances. Overseas Erasmus hoped to increase the acceptability of the Union as a defence partner among Western countries by providing personnel for the Berlin Air Lift and the Korean conflict and promising a contingent for the Middle East. He attempted unsuccessfully to instigate anti-communist alliances for the land and maritime defence of Africa when the European powers were leaving the continent. These actions were primarily to obtain political support for the Union, whose prestige was rapidly decreasing as apartheid became better known. The external initiatives with the exception of the Simonstown naval agreements were not lasting.

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Gilberto Maringoni de Oliveira / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais, 2017. / O Brasil assistiu a várias intervenções militares na esfera da política desde a Proclamação da República. Elas perduraram ao longo do século XX. Essas ações políticas tiveram múltiplos sentidos, ocupando posições que vão da estrema direita à estrema esquerda, com sérias consequências na vida nacional. A presente pesquisa analisará uma dessas ações: a militância comunista que se deu na Casa do Sargento do Brasil e na Casa do Sargento de São Paulo, entre os anos de 1947 a 1952, no auge da Guerra Fria e de forte campanha anticomunista por parte de setores conservadores. Essas duas associações de classe militares localizavam-se, respectivamente, nos estados do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo. O trabalho de militância foi encabeçado pelo Setor Militar do PCB (Antimil), um setor deste partido - então na clandestinidade - que atuou entre os anos de 1929 e 1992 no meio militar. No processo reivindicativo, foram trabalhadas demandas históricas dos sargentos por melhores condições de trabalho e cidadania, que lhes foram historicamente negados, assim como questões que foram discutidas na sociedade brasileira após o fim do Estado Novo e nos primeiros anos da década de 1950, como a questão do monopólio estatal da exploração do petróleo nacional e do envio de tropas militares brasileira para Guerra da Coréia (1950-53). Todo esse processo reivindicativo foi severamente reprimido, a partir de 1952, por autoridades civis e militares com os mais variados tipos de abusos e torturas. / Brazil has witnessed several military interventions in the range of politics since the Republic proclaim. They lasted through the twentieth century. These political actions had multiple meanings, driving positions from the extreme right to the left, with serious consequences in the national life. The present research will analyze one of these actions: the communist militancy that took place in the House of the Brazilian Sergeant and in the House of the Sergeant of São Paulo, between the years of 1947 to 1952, at the height of the Cold War and of a strong anticommunist campaign. Both military associations were located, respectively, in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The militancy work was led by the Military Sector of PCB (Antimil), a sector of this party - at the time in illegal situation- that operated among the years of 1929 and 1992. On trat period, the sergeants' historical demands were driven for better working conditions and citizenship, often denied to them, as well as questions that were discussed in Brazilian society after the end of Estado Novo and in the early 1950s, such as State oil monopoly and the sending of Brazilian military troops to the Korean War (1950-53). This whole process of protest was hardly repressed, as of 1952, by civilian and military authorities with the most varied types of abuses and tortures.

Os trabalhos pioneiros de antropólogos com militares no Brasil buscaram na perspectiva etnográfica o entendimento dos militares e escaparam da perspectiva dominante desse tema até então, que era a relação das instituições militares com a política. Esse olhar “de dentro” mostrou outras perspectivas da sociabilidade militar, como uma visão própria dos militares enquanto grupo distinto do resto dos cidadãos, portadores de um conjunto características inerentes e exclusivas, bem como uma cosmologia em que a hierarquia opera como classificador lógico de todas as relações. Esses trabalhos levantaram sugestões que procuro explorar aqui, sobretudo com relação à temporalidade militar e sua interseção com debate antropológico dos rituais. Dentro da produção teórica da antropologia, a temática do ritual constitui-se como um campo polifônico, produzindo uma série de debates e concepções distintas entre si mas sempre associadas com as oposições também clássicas e fundantes do pensamento antropológico (indivíduo/sociedade, empirismo/racionalismo). No cotejamento desses dois campos, inicialmente se observou uma série de dados que levavam a pensar que a temporalidade militar era vivida e pensada num esquema de entendimento em que o tempo e as ações não poderiam simplesmente ser classificados pela dicotomia que opõe os momentos rituais e uma rotina que seria menos prescrita. A observação de noticiários militares, dos manuais, regulamentos e boletins indicavam que todos os momentos da vida militar eram marcados por uma série de prescrições, como códigos de conduta a respeito da aparência física, posturas corporais, uniformes, comportamento interno e externo ao quartel, assim como para as mais variadas situações pelas quais um militar possa passar. Os militares também têm uma série complexa de comemorações e eventos regulamentares em que as indicações da etiqueta, do protocolo e do cerimonial dão a forma de como as coisas devem ocorrer. A ideia de que esses dois campos, o do regulamento da vida comum e o da padronização dos eventos, não podiam ser tratados como campos opostos guiou a busca de dados da sociabilidade entre militares que tornasse palpável a observação dessa temporalidade específica, pouco dicotômica, que até então era um apontamento. Os resultados desse trabalho estão aqui apresentados. No capitulo inicial apresento os antecedentes que levaram ao problema dessa pesquisa, apresentando as etnografias com militares e o debate antropológico dos rituais, e ainda no final desse capítulo, inicio a descrição de minha (difícil) inserção no campo. No segundo capítulo apresento uma análise das comemorações e eventos militares e no terceiro o conjunto de prescrições que ordenam a formação e a conduta diária da vida do militar nos diversos aspectos. Finalmente, retomo a discussão a respeito dos rituais à luz da temporalidade militar e de sua solução de continuidade ou suavização para a clássica oposição entre ritual e cotidiano. / This dissertation thinks the temporality between the military through an ethnographic perspective. The pioneering works of anthropologists with armed forces in Brazil sought the understanding of the military through ethnographic perspective and escaped the dominant perspective of this issue so far: the relationship between military and politics. That look "inside" showed other perspectives of military sociability as its own vision of the military as a distinct group from the rest of citizens, a group with a set of inherent and exclusive features as well as a cosmology in which the hierarchy operates as logical classifier of all relations. These works raised suggestions I try to explore here, especially regarding the military temporality and its intersection with anthropological discussion of rituals. Within the theoretical anthropology production, ritual studies are constituted as a polyphonic field, producing a series of debates and different conceptions among themselves but always associated with the classic oppositions that founded the anthropological thought (individual / society, empiricism / rationalism ). By relating these two fields, I initially observed a series of data that led to think that the military temporality is lived and thought in understanding scheme in which time and actions could not simply be classified by the dichotomy that opposes the ritual moments and a routine (as a time less prescribed). The observation of military news, manuals, regulations, and reports indicated that all times of military life were marked by a series of regulations, codes of conduct regarding the physical appearance, body postures, uniform, internal behavior and external to the barracks, as well as for a variety of situations in which a military can pass. The military also have a complex series of celebrations and regulatory events in which directions on etiquette, protocol and ceremonial give way to how things should occur. The idea that these two fields, the regulation of the common life and the standardization of events, could not be treated as opposing ideas that guided the search for sociability data between military that become palpable the observation of that specific temporality, not dichotomous, which until then was a suggestive note. These results are presented here. In the opening chapter we present the background that led to the problem of this research, presenting ethnographies with military and anthropological discussion of rituals, and even at the end of this chapter, beginning the description of my insertion in the field. In the second chapter we present an analysis of military celebrations and events and in the third, the set of prescriptions ordering the training and the daily conduct of life of the military in many ways. Finally, I retake to discussion of the rites in the light of military temporality and its continuity solution, that smooth the classic opposition between ritual and daily life.

A inovação introduzida pela instituição do Ministério da Defesa não é desprezível, podendo representar profundas alterações tanto de ordem política como diplomáticas, administrativas, estratégicas e operacionais, que necessitam seriamente ser avaliadas. Buscar compreender como a democracia entra como uma variável interveniente no desenho da defesa nacional no quadro pós-1985 via análise da criação do Ministério da Defesa é a tarefa que pretendemos levar a cabo nesta Tese, sem perder de vista que o controle civil pleno dos militares é condição necessária, ainda que insuficiente, àconsolidação eaprofundamento do regime democrático brasileiro / Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze in what measure the military reform released by the Fernando Henrique Cardoso's government (1995-2002), "imposed" by endogenous and exogenous changes, may be understood as part of a bigger effort on redraw up the State structure and seek a military subordination still missed in the transition process post authoritarian era in Brazil. The innovation introduced by the creation of the Defense Ministry is not despicable, indeed it represents deep changes in ali spheres: political, diplomatic, management, strategic and operational, ali of them needed to be evaluated. In this study we intend also to analyze the creation of the Defense Ministry by trying to comprehend how democracy appears as an intervening actor in the National Defense's structure post-1985. We do this being sure not to forget that, in spite of not being itself sufficient, the complete civilian's military control is essential to the consolidation and deepen of the Brazilian emocratic regime / Doutorado / Doutor em Ciência Política

O tema desta pesquisa é a política industrial de defesa brasileira. Seu objeto é a dinâmica dos mais importantes processos e atores na concepção e articulação dos principais projetos militares brasileiros, no contexto do entrelaçamento entre as políticas públicas de defesa, industrial, externa e de CT&I. Mais especificamente, o objetivo desta investigação interdisciplinar é explorar em que medida essa dinâmica entre processos e atores, incluindo seus mecanismos de coordenação e canais de interação, molda o perfil do conjunto dos principais projetos militares brasileiros. A hipótese a ser verificada é a de que, apesar dos avanços institucionais constatados desde a criação do Ministério da Defesa, ainda seria possível apontar desafios no que se refere à estruturação de seus mecanismos de coordenação, conduzindo a situações de ambiguidade em termos de direção política e de autonomia militar. Para tanto, o período analisado abrange desde o ano da criação do Ministério da Defesa (1999), até o término de coleta de material para este projeto (2014), coincidindo com o período de eleições presidenciais. Com base nos resultados alcançados, torna-se possível explorar as oscilações orçamentárias não apenas como causa, mas, sobretudo, como efeito dos problemas enfrentados na gestão desse portfólio de empreendimentos complexos, no quadro mais amplo do processo de amadurecimento do Ministério da Defesa. / The theme of this research is the Brazilian defense industrial policy. The subject is the dynamic of the most important processes and players in the design and coordination of the main Brazilian military projects in the context of entanglement between Defense, Foreign Affairs and Science, Technology & Innovation public policies. More specifically, the objective of this interdisciplinary research is to explore to what extent this dynamic between processes and players, as well as their mechanisms of coordination and interaction channels, shape the profile of the main Brazilian military projects. The hypothesis to be verified is that despite the institutional progress made since the creation of the Ministry of Defense, it is still possible to identify challenges in terms of the structuring of its coordination mechanisms, leading to ambiguous situations in terms of political direction and military autonomy. Thus, the period considered covers the years since the creation of the Ministry of Defense (1999) until the end of data collection for this project (2014), coinciding with the presidential election period in Brazil. Based on the results achieved, it becomes possible to explore the budgetary fluctuations not only a cause, but above all, the effect of the problems faced in managing this portfolio of complex projects, within the broader framework of the maturing process of the Brazilian Ministry of Defense.

In 1955, barely ten years after the end of the most devastating war in Modern German history, a new German military was established in the Federal Republic, the Bundeswehr. In order properly fill the ranks of this new military the government, under the leadership of Konrad Adenauer, believed that it would have to draft men from the West German population into military service. For the government in Bonn conscription was a double-edged sword, it would not only ensure that the Bundeswehr would receive the required number of recruits but it was also believed that conscription would guarantee that the Bundeswehr would be more democratic and therefore in tune with the policies of the new West German state. What this study seeks to explore is what the West German population thought of conscription. It will investigate who was for or against the draft and seek to determine the various socioeconomic factors that contributed to these decisions. Furthermore this study will examine the effect that the public opinion had on federal policy.

Au cours de leur activité professionnelle, les militaires français peuvent être exposés à des risques biologiques ou chimiques. Pour protéger leur santé, le Service de Veille Sanitaire du Centre d'Épidémiologie et de Santé Publique des Armées a développé un système d'information. Conçu pour être utilisé en situation normale ou de crise, le système fournit rapidement aux décideurs, experts, vétérinaires, pharmaciens et médecins militaires une information utile pour la prise de décision. L’objectif de notre étude est d’en proposer une évaluation globale, notamment afin de déterminer s’il correspond aux besoins et aux pratiques des usagers.Ces dernières années, une véritable révolution technologique s’est opérée, donnant ainsi naissance à de nombreux dispositifs informationnels destinés à aider les usagers. Des études scientifiques visant à analyser la façon dont ces derniers les utilisent ont alors été menées.En nous appuyant sur les fondements théoriques actuels en sciences de l’information et de la communication et sur une méthodologie de recherche mixte associant des méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives, nous avons analysé le dispositif existant et étudié dans quelle mesure il s’intègre aux pratiques info-communicationnelles des personnels rattachés au Service de Santé des Armées.Cette étude permet d’apporter des connaissances nouvelles sur les pratiques des militaires français, jusqu’alors méconnues, et de proposer une grille d’évaluation adaptable à différents systèmes d’information documentaires. / The french armed forces can be exposed to biological and chemical risks within their work. The Medical Intelligence unit of the French armed forces Center of Epidemiology and Public Health has developed an information system in order to protect their health. Created to be used in usual or crisis situation, the system provides quickly decision-makers, experts, veterinary, pharmacist and army medical officer with useful information for decision making. The aim of our study is to offer an overall assessment, in particular to determine if it corresponds to the needs and practices for the users.These last years, a real technological revolution has occured, giving birth to numerous informational devices intended to help the users. Scientific studies to analyze the way the latter use them were then carried out.Resting on current theoretical foundations in information and communication sciences and on a methodology of mixed research associating quantitative and qualitative methods, we have analyzed the existing device and studied to what extent it becomes integrated into the information and communication practices of the staffs connected in the Military Health Service.This study allows to bring new knowledge on the french military practices, still largely unknown, and to propose an adaptable assessment grid to various documentary information systems.
