A presente dissertação de doutoramento intitulada “Da Guarda Nacional
Republicana no Sistema de Segurança Português: Força Militar de Segurança” tem
por objetivo principal analisar a Guarda Nacional Republicana, em Portugal, desde a
vigência da Constituição da República Portuguesa de 1976 à atualidade por forma a
responder à questão principal “Porque é que existe a Guarda Nacional Republicana
em Portugal?”. Consequentemente, o objeto de estudo é a Guarda Nacional
Republicana, a problemática a segurança e as variáveis enquadrantes são as dinâmicas
políticas europeia e nacional, os modelos de segurança e a identidade.
Para a realização desta dissertação foi determinado o modelo de análise
metodológico assente na investigação fundamental, na análise qualitativa, nas
questões de partida e subsequentes, relacionadas com os objetivos geral e específicos,
e no desenho experimental estudo de caso. Este desenho metodológico foi ainda
complementado pela adoção do pensamento crítico aos dados extraídos da análise
documental, de bibliografia, de doutrina e de legislação e em entrevistas
semiestruturadas. Estas entrevistas, aplicadas a entidades relevantes na temática em
apreço, foram realizadas com recurso a um guião de cinco questões descritivas cujos
dados foram interpretados através do método de análise do conteúdo, após validação.
Conclui-se que a GNR é uma Força Militar de Segurança que conjuga em si
a capacidade de ser uma Força Militar e simultaneamente uma Força de Segurança.
Tais capacidades refletem-se no facto de as características de Força Militar
reforçarem o exercício da missão como Força de Segurança nas dimensões de defesa, segurança e proteção e socorro. Ainda como Força Militar de Segurança, a GNR
revela-se como meio ao dispor do governo para contrabalançar desvios de poder
desencadeados por outros meios, o que permite alcançar equilíbrio e estabilidade no
sistema de segurança português. Simultaneamente e considerando a alteração do
espetro da ameaça, a GNR é um meio de projeção da soberania portuguesa além
fronteiras permitindo a capacitação de outros povos e a construção de outras Nações
sem recurso à capacidade bélica. Assim, a GNR torna-se útil e necessária pois
capacita o governo a agir de forma global.
A insensibilidade como Força Militar de Segurança resulta em
desentendimentos não raras vezes descaracterizadores da sua identidade e capacidade
de atuação/intervenção.
This doctoral thesis entitled “The Guarda Nacional Republicana in the Portuguese Security System: Contributes for a general theory about a Military Security Force” primarily aims to analyze the Guarda Nacional Republicana in Portugal, since the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic of 1976 came into force until present day, in order to answer the main question “Why does the Guarda Nacional Republicana exist in Portugal?”. Consequently, the object of study is the Guarda Nacional Republicana, the safety issues and the framing variables are the european and national political dynamics, the security models and identity. To accomplish this thesis, it was necessary to determine the model of methodological analysis based on fundamental research, qualitative analysis, initial and subsequent questions, pertaining to general and specific goals, and the experimental design case study. This methodological design was further complemented by the adoption of a critical thought to the data extracted from the documentary analysis, bibliography, doctrine and legislation and in semi-structured interviews. These interviews, conducted to relevant entities on the subject matter under discussion, were carried out using a guide of five descriptive questions whose data was interpreted through the content analysis method. It is concluded that the GNR is a Military Security Force that combines, in itself, the capacity of being a Military Force and simultaneously a Security Force. Such capacities are reflected by the fact that the characteristics of a Military Force enhance the exercise of the mission as a Security Force in the defence, security, and protection and rescue dimensions. As a Military Security Force, the GNR moreover reveals itself a means at the ruler’s disposal to counterbalance the misuse of power triggered by other means, enabling to achieve balance and stability in the portuguese security system. Simultaneously, and considering the change in the threat spectrum, the GNR is a means of projection of portuguese sovereignty across borders enabling the empowerment of other people and the construction of other nations without recourse to war capacity. Thus, the GNR becomes useful and necessary because it enables the ruler to act globaly. Insensitivity as a Military Security Force results in misunderstandings often decharacterizing of their identity and action/intervention capacity
