Abstract

Over the years, Brazil has been tightening its relationship with the member countries of the Community, as recommended in our National Defense Policy (PND). This work analyzed, in the light of the current post-Cold War international conjuncture, the extent to which the CPLP presents itself as a potential block to contribute to the achievement of the National Defense Objectives (OND) mentioned in the National Defense Strategy (END) . The methodology used consisted of descriptive elements of internet articles; conditional documents of defense; lecture; and the bibliographic research carried out at the National Defense College - ESG. Initially, it addressed globalization and its influence on the block. Subsequently, the history of the Community was rescued; the important aspects of the maritime universe of the CPLP, the Cooperation Agreements, mainly in the Defense Area, without considering economic or mobilization aspects related to military exercises carried out between the Armed Forces of the block. And finally, possible direct aligned ONDs were described and confronted with the brazilian strategic interest with the CPLP. The conclusion indicates that the CPLP is configured as an excellent Defense Strategy platform for Brazil.
