Efeitos spillover das ações de combate aos ilícitos em espaços transfronteriços: o caso da Lei uruguaia nº 19.172/2013 na segurança do Brasil

Abstract

Illicits take advantage of the weaknesses of public security policies in neighboring countries and make use of the vulnerabilities and pores of their borders to bring loss to states and citizens. The purpose of this monographic work is, in light of the references, to identify the extent to which Uruguayan legislation - Law No. 19,172, of December 20 2013, which deliberates on the control and regulation of importation, production, acquisition, storage, marketing and marijuana distribution - is capable of generating externalities to Brazil in terms of safety. The methodology used will be the exploratory case study that generates hypotheses, with information collected through the Desk Research technique - about the laws, statistical data and observations of the question in Brazil and Uruguay. The study aims to identify possible spillover effects of the Uruguayan law to Brazil. Initially, the work does a synthesis of the basic concepts that guide the research to contextualize and relate the main concepts on the topic; it is followed by a descriptive chapter that presents relevant information for the purposes of the study, statistical data and specific legislation of Uruguay. Finally, the study describes and analyzes the Brazilian border strip, explores the twin cities, compares statistical data from Rio Grande do Sul, allows to formulate a hypothesis that contributes to the understanding of the study, and answers the research question in the conclusion.
