Abstract(s)
Numa sociedade global marcada por uma ameaça imprevisível, multifacetada e
transnacional, urge criar mecanismos que permitam desenvolver eficientemente, um
aconselhamento flexível e oportuno aos decisores políticos. Assim, assumem as Informações
Estratégicas, um papel fundamental na mitigação desta ameaça, na persecução dos desígnios
e salvaguarda dos interesses nacionais. Atendendo à conjuntura internacional e nacional, de
contenção e otimização de recursos humanos e materiais disponíveis, assume a burocracia
inerente ao aparelho estatal, o grande desafio à eficiência entre os diferentes organismos.
Num contexto militar, e tendo este trabalho, como objeto de estudo, as Informações Militares,
importa avaliar o contributo destas para a Segurança e Defesa Nacional e recomendar formas
de melhorar a sua eficiência. Para atingir este desiderato, efetuou-se uma investigação com
base num raciocínio dedutivo, assente numa estratégia qualitativa, através de uma análise
documental e de conteúdo, com recurso a entrevistas a especialistas e chefias dos serviços
civis e militares. Os dados recolhidos, permitiram concluir que as Informações Militares têm
um papel importante no apoio à decisão política, identificar lacunas no sistema, e inferir um
conjunto de recomendações, que, através de uma simbiótica relação entre os Serviços de
Informações, poderão tornar o próprio Sistema Nacional de Informações mais eficiente.
In a global society marked by unpredictable, multifaceted, and transnational threats, there is an urgent need for mechanisms that enable the delivery of efficient and timely advice to policy makers. Strategic Intelligence has a crucial role in mitigating these threats, as well as in meeting the national goals and defending the national interests. Considering the national and international calls for restraint and optimization of human and material resources, the bureaucracy inherent to the state apparatus poses the greatest challenge to interagency efficiency. This paper examines the role of Military Intelligence in National Security and Defence and recommends measures to improve its efficiency. To that end, the study used deductive reasoning and a qualitative research strategy based on documentary and content analysis and on interviews with experts and managers of various civilian and military agencies. The data collected revealed that Military Intelligence plays a key role in supporting political decision making. The study identifies gaps in the system and recommends measures to improve the efficiency of the national intelligence system by establishing symbiotic linkages among Intelligence Services.
