The analysis started with the hypothesis that Defense Cooperation served as an integral element in the relations between these two countries: Brazil and Argentina, consequently impacting Mercosur as a whole. Despite historical conflicts, the 1970s witnessed a significant shift in the relationship between Buenos Aires and Brasilia, with notable collaborative efforts emerging. However, the rapprochement of these states marked a relevant change in the Southern Cone. It has been possible evidence in the “Operação Fraterno”, “Projeto Gaúcho” and, “Projeto kc-390”.. Defense Cooperation played a pivotal role in this process, serving not only military purposes but also as a diplomatic tool, reinforcing friendship bonds.

Erick  Andrade is a PhD candidate and Master in Military Sciences at Meira Mattos Institute (IMM) of the Brazilian Army Command and General Staff College (ECEME). And Guest professor at the Brazilian Army Command and General Staff Course, teaching the subject of Defense and International Security.

The research seminar on Latin American studies is open to scholars interested in Latin American issues. It welcomes the presentation of papers from researchers and PhD students from different social science disciplines.

The seminar takes place on Fridays 14:00 – 15:30 every second week (odd numbers) at the Library of the Institute of Latin American Studies (House B, Floor 5).
