The Gap Between the Current Brazilian State and its 1950s National Security Doctrine.
"I do not want war, but I do not want to be caught by surprise." — President Lula, after three terms without the National Security agenda in his government plans.
President Lula's acknowledgment, after three terms without the National Security agenda in his government plans, exposes a structural rupture that ARGUS has been tracking across multiple cycles. The moment is not merely rhetorical — it marks a belated recognition of a doctrine gap that has widened for over two decades.
The National Security Doctrine conceived at the Higher War College (ESG) in the 1950s was built around a specific threat architecture: external state actors, territorial sovereignty, and conventional deterrence. The new threats to national sovereignty in 2026 operate on entirely different vectors — transnational criminal organizations with state-level resources, hybrid warfare, cybersovereign vulnerabilities, and institutional capture.

ESG — Higher War College (Escola Superior de Guerra): Institution responsible for the National Security Doctrine of the 1950s. Its strategic framework was not designed for the threat environment of 2026.
—
Lula's acknowledgment: After three consecutive terms in office without placing National Security on the government agenda, the statement "I do not want to be caught by surprise" signals a reactive, not strategic, posture.
—
Doctrine gap: The distance between the 1950s framework and the 2026 threat matrix — transnational criminal networks, institutional erosion, hybrid actors — constitutes the central risk vector in this cycle.
