The construction of defense studies as a science in Brazil

Resumen

Defense Studies in Brazilian academia is somewhat recent, which means that much remains to be discovered and investigated. Although many defense themes - defense economics, military technology, strategic studies, among others - are addressed and, therefore, of great interest to analysts in the field, it should be noted that, in relation to the epistemological structure, much is left to be desired. When dealing with Defense Studies one can glimpse the fragmentation of the area, which results in the absence of a clear vision of its harmonic dimension, as well as in the lack of necessary scientific rigor (DOMINGOS NETO, 2014).
