Abstract

This article aims to present a brief analysis of changes in educational strategy that have impacted the way of being and thinking of the military personnel trained by the Agulhas Negras Military Academy (AMAN) over the past 30 years. For this, the survey had access to classified documents of the Brazilian Army (EB) and interviews. The political-historical backgrounds that contributed to the planning and implementation of new sectors in the AMAN in 1989 are the starting point for structural and curricular changes in the EB. The results point to the applicability of a course focused on human rights and the gradual change in treatment between officers and cadets. The focus of this article is the role of the Ministry of Defense in conducting what the military elite changed in the preparation of young officers in the context of Brazilian democracy.
