A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DO ARTHASHASTRA DE KAUTILYA PARA AS GUERRAS HÍBRIDAS
Resumo
Diversos fatores têm impulsionado os atores do cenário internacional a atuar de forma silenciosa, evitando a escalada para um conflito armado. Esse fenômeno, chamado de guerra híbrida ou ameaças híbridas, tem suscitado debates pelo mundo. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um documento, escrito há mais de 2.300 anos, que já sinalizava a necessidade de emprego de ações silenciosas como parte de uma política externa ativa. Kautilya escreveu sua obra, o Arthashastra, durante a construção do império Maurya. Sua estratégia baseava-se na instrumentalização de ferramentas econômicas, sociais e políticas para alcançar os objetivos imperiais, preocupando-se em atuar nos governos, interno e externos. Dessa forma, por meio de uma metodologia baseada em uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, pretende-se responder a seguinte pergunta-problema: o Arthashastra de Kautilya possui alguma contribuição ao debate atual sobre Guerras Hibridas? Ao resgatar essa importante personagem histórica, este artigo evidenciou a relevância atemporal desse importante estrategista indiano.
