Securitização: uma análise do processo em aeroportos no Brasil de 2001 a 2010

Abstract

This work describe the process of anti-terrorist securitization in Brazilian airspace from 2001 to 2010. Taking as main argument in the airport securitization process the description of Law nº. 7,168/10 which deals with the interference of illicit acts in aircraft. The analysis is based on the process that understands the importance of political actors (deputies and presidents) and pressure groups (press and civil society) on the issue, which involves security issues and, therefore, outlining a new configuration in RI and taking as a starting point the discourse analysis based on the Copenhagen School. The work also involves a critical analysis of September 11 and its origins culminating in the increase in anti-terrorist measures that followed the attacks in Washington. The analysis of the Brazilian scenario, therefore, becomes fundamental in order to understand geopolitics based on the national perspective.
