Abstract

Throughout its history, the Republic of Haiti has been the scene of constant institutional instability, it has lived with corruption, acute social problems, epidemics, earthquakes, coups, and an unfavorable situation that has impeded its development, especially from the perspective of human rights. As a result of the instability in the country, in 2004, MINUSTAH was created under Brazilian leadership, in order to pacify the State, whose Brazilian troops stayed in Haiti for thirteen years. In another analytical perspective, but whose objects of study converge to a common point, in 1977, Snyder conceptualizes strategic culture, and from this point of view several authors interpreted and reinterpreted the concept. Based on Snyder and the other theorists who succeeded him, the article aims to identify the set of variables with which the Military Forces mirrored the Brazilian strategic culture in Haiti. The research is descriptive, explanatory, bibliographical and documentary.The conclusions point to the fact that the strategic culture of the military presented the following profile: offensive, defensive, with traces of flexibility, humanity, leadership, among others.
