SUMMARY:

In this thesis, the Brazilian fourth power state is investigated, associating its existence to the project of sub-imperialist development in Brazil. The method used was the materialist-historical-dialectical, by immanent readings of classical and contemporary works and documentary analyses. It explores the similarities and differences in the pattern of reproduction and accumulation of capital in the imperialist countries and in the dependent countries and, given the relationship of co-determination between capital and the state, the similarities and differences in the state superstructural sphere are observed. Given these differences, we arrive at the conformation of the Brazilian dependent State which, due to the socio-historical formation of Brazil, had conditions for the construction of a development project during the civil-military dictatorship (called Brazil Power) and for the maintenance of it after the redemocratization. This project is represented by the security-development binomial, and it is demonstrated that, in Brazil, the first part of the binomial has been carried out by the armed forces. Thus, it is concluded that the tutelary role played by the Brazilian armed forces is necessary and functional to the project of Brazilian sub-imperialist development, economically and politically. The demonstration of the umbilical relationship between the presence and role of the armed forces in the Brazilian State and the needs of reproduction and accumulation of capital presented in this thesis contradicts the papers that, by neglecting the relationship of co-determination between capital and the State, relate the authoritarian character of the armed forces to the possibility of imposing their demands on the State – regardless of whether they are related to the demands of capital.
