O narcotráfico na tríplice fronteira Brasil-Colômbia-Peru e a segurança regional: um estudo comparativo das políticas adotadas nos governos Lula (2003-2010) e Bolsonaro (2019-2022)

Abstract

This research seeks to understand drug trafficking in the Amazonian triple border between Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, analyzing the policies adopted by the Lula (2003-2010) and Bolsonaro (2019-2022) governments in relation to regional security. The monograph uses as its theoretical basis concepts such as: security, regional security, transnational threat, public policies, national public security policy, and national defense policy. Initially, the region studied is presented, exploring the impact of drug trafficking. Then, the policies implemented by the two governments are discussed, highlighting their contrasts. Finally, it analyzes how these policies influenced security in the triple border. It is observed that the Lula government prioritized regional cooperation, while the Bolsonaro government opted for militarization, to the detriment of cooperation. Thus, the research will analyze this, seeking to understand how these different policies helped to combat drug trafficking in the triple border. For this purpose, the hypothetical-deductive method was used, a qualitative approach, based on bibliographic and documentary research.
