Book excerpt: On August 25, 2010, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed several executive orders with the purpose of modifying and improving the Defense Department in Brazil by restructuring the Ministry of Defense and promoting civilian participation in national defense matters. The purpose of this Strategic Research Project is to conduct an analysis of the new Ministry of Defense structure and to identify the challenges and opportunities, from the Brazilian point of view, and to see if the new structure will make it possible to improve Brazil's defense relationship. To address these issues, I will first perform a quick review of Brazil's political and military evolution from World War II until now. Second, I will address Brazil's National Defense Strategy to highlight Brazilian national interests in Defense matters. Lastly, I will address the most important part of this research, which is to analyze the new Ministry of Defense structure. The objective is to identify the challenges and opportunities inherent in attaining the objectives of the National Defense Strategy. Finally, I will make recommendations to improve Brazil's defense relationships.
