摘要本文旨在分析巴西的大战略以及联合国维和行动在这一战略中的地位。它涉及参与组织的政治经济学，并探讨参与组织最近的趋势，特别是日益强大的和平行动任务及其影响。讨论了巴西参与和平行动的情况，重点是其主要特点和对参与组织在国家大战略中的作用缺乏共识的后果。最后，提出了可能在参与PO和巴西的大战略之间产生协同作用的建议。关键词：巴西外交政策，巴西国防政策，大战略，和平行动。接收日期：引言一个国家的大战略是其阐明过多治国方略工具能力的最终证明。因此，更细致地审视像巴西这样有抱负的大国的大战略，可能有助于研究一个国家从中等强国地位过渡（或失败）的条件（Mares和Trinkunas 2016）。同样，通过纳入三个基本方面：文职人员对军队的控制、效力和效率，重点深入了解新民主国家军民关系的研究可能会有所助益（Bruneau and马泰2008）。因此，它也可能有利于更深入地了解安全机构的比较发展（Croissant和Kuehn 2015）。在这种情况下，作者打算解决以下问题：参与联合国和平行动（PO）是如何插入巴西的大战略？作为一个具有理论意识的政策导向研究，本文将提出一个可操作的
Abstract This article aims to contribute to the analysis of Brazilian grand strategy and the place of UN peace operations (POs) in the context of this strategy. It deals with the political economy of POs and grapples with the trends of POs in the recent past, especially the increasingly robust mandates of peace operations and their implications. Brazilian participation in peace operations is discussed, focusing on its main characteristics and the consequences of an absence of consensus on the role of POs for the country´s grand strategy. Finally, suggestions are proposed that might create synergies between participation in POs and Brazil´s grand strategy.Keywords: Brazilian foreign policy, brazilian defense policy, grand strategy, peace operations. Received: November 22, 2016 Accepted: April 26, 2017 Introduction T he Grand Strategy of a nation is the ultimate proof of its capacity to articulate a plethora of statecraft tools. As such, a more fine-grained look at the grand strategy of an aspirational power like Brazil could contribute to the literature on the conditions underlying a country’s transition (or failure thereof) from middle to great power status (Mares and Trinkunas 2016). In the same vein, it could be useful to studies focusing on a deeper understanding of civil-military relations in newer democracies by means of the incorporation of three essential dimensions: civilian control of the military, effectiveness, and efficiency (Bruneau and Matei 2008). Hence, it may also favor a deeper insight into the comparative development of security institutions (Croissant and Kuehn 2015).In this context, the author intends to address the following question: how does the participation in UN peace operations (POs) is inserted in Brazil´s grand strategy? As a policy-oriented study with theoretical awareness, the article will propose an operational
