Synopsis: What is deterrence? How should it be considered and applied in the Brazilian defense strategy? These are questions answered in this book, which shows that the country, although it cites this word a lot in its National Defense Policy and National Defense Strategy, does not have an in-depth doctrinal formulation on the subject. The book is intended for people who do not necessarily have prior knowledge of military science. It presents the fundamental concepts related to deterrence, compulsion and interstate influence, and deals with the Brazilian strategic culture and its impact on the formulation of a consistent long-term Deterrence Strategy, capable of providing adequate support, either in the sense of compelling other nations to act in a desired way or not to dissuade them from acting in an undesired way.
