Governança Pública na mitigação da assimetria de informações: recursos de transparência e accountability frente aos projetos F-X2 e KC-390

Abstract

Initially developed in the corporate world, the governance concept has been implemented in the public sector in search of better results. In this context, this work aims to study the performance of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), from the perspective of the principles of transparency and accountability, in order to verify the effectiveness of the clarifications provided on current strategic projects. Due to the significant relevance for Security, Development, and Defense, two of the FAB's main projects under the responsibility - the F-X2 and the KC-390 - were defined for analysis. An extensive bibliographic and documental research was used, in addition to the exploration of the various means of communication available, to evaluate the interaction with Brazilian society. In the course of this paper, safeguarding the confidentiality agreements related to the subject, it became clear that the various sectors of the Air Force Command were engaged in a comprehensive dissemination of the process of implantation and use of the aircraft. Finally, although the subject provides a deeper understanding of the other principles of governance, the research pointed out that the actions developed by the FAB, in addition to mitigating the asymmetry of information about strategic projects, directly contribute to the National Objective of "expanding the involvement of the Brazilian society in matters of National Defense."
