Segurança pública nas fronteiras: a estratégia nacional de segurança nas fronteiras e seus efeitos

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the public policy National Public Security Strategy on the Borders (ENAFRON) and seeks to understand how this public policy arises and what it establishes in the social world through its reports, whose function is to diagnose the "problems" of the borders. From the imaginations around the narrative conventions about the “problems” of the borders, I analyze what are the solutions that the “State”, represented by state agents can solve these issues. The documental ethnography range from laws, decrees, norms and a series of regulations and official documentation that synthesize, describe and qualify an idea of border, which transformed itself, a short period of time, from a policy aimed at strategic development and regional for a security governance and control of mobility, transit and displacement regimes. I conclude that the management modalities around Enafron encompass modes of repression and protection anchored in an imagination about what and who should be repressed and what and who should be protected.
