Researcher Sabrina Medeiros has published the article “Logistical Standardization and Strategic Integration: Brazil in the NATO Codification System” in issue no. 37 of Revista Tempo do Mundo.

Revista Tempo do Mundo is a flagship journal of the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA), one of Brazil’s leading public research institutions, recognized for producing strategic knowledge that informs public policy and international debates. Publishing in this journal underscores the relevance of the study within both academic and policy-making communities.

The article examines how logistical standardization through the NATO Codification System (NCS) contributes to Brazil’s strategic insertion into international defense networks without implying formal commitments to collective defense. The research shows that Brazil’s adoption of the NCS strengthens logistical interoperability and the country’s Defense Technological and Industrial Base (DTIB), while also highlighting the asymmetries between Global North and South perceptions of such cooperation.

The study concludes that technical cooperation in logistics serves as a pragmatic tool for modernization and international certification, preserving Brazil’s strategic autonomy while producing long-term impacts on industry and regional security governance.
