“…Sara's comment echoes a widely shared sentiment among humanitarian aid workers in Haiti. Her comment also repeats an old trope used to justify foreign intervention for over a century—namely, that Haitians are incapable of taking care of themselves and require others to care for, or govern, them (see Greenburg ; James ; Smith ). Note, for example, how she switches the ethical frame of responsibility, so that Haitians are blamed for not showing gratitude for the care that they receive.…”

“…As others have argued, humanitarianism has in fact become a new kind of imperialism, a kind of global government that has displaced political formations like citizenship and rights into the ethical register of suffering and care (see Agier ; Bornstein and Redfield ; Fassin ; Fassin and Pandolfi ; Feldman ; Feldman and Ticktin ; Gabiam ; Redfield ; Ticktin , ).

“…Em 2006, os capacetes azuis brasileiros tomaram uma decisão consciente de remover seus óculos de sol, olhar nos olhos das pessoas e, em contraste com as unidades jordanianas, sair de seus veículos blindados e andar nas ruas e conversar com a população (Call and Abdenur 2017;Greenburg 2013). Além disso, as forças brasileiras anunciaram sua entrada na comunidade alguns dias antes, deixando os líderes de gangues saírem e concedendo às tropas brasileiras a entrada sem que houvesse confronto e a presença contínua nessas comunidades (Call and Abdenur 2017).…”

“…Dentro deste quadro, o Brasil aceitou fazer parte da Missão das Nações Unidas para a Estabilização do Haiti (MINUSTAH). Ainda que existam críticas sob alguns aspectos ligados à efetividade das operações de paz, como as apontadas por Greenburg (2013) e Serbin e Pont, a participação nesta missão contribuiu para o aumento da relevância brasileira do cenário internacional, principalmente no âmbito das operações de paz da ONU. A utilização de ferramentas de smart power, conforme afirmam Seitenfus (2008), Silva (2011), Bracey (2011), Nasser (2012), Muxagato (2014), Cezne (2016) e Rodrigues e Migon (2017), entre outros,foi um diferencial relevante na obtenção deste quadro 4 .Este trabalho se propõe alançar um olhar sobre o papel da componente militar na construção dosmart power e, em especial, o diferencial causado pelas tropas de engenharia neste processo.…”
