%X The transnational (re)making of contemporary urban pacification practices, discourses, and technologies between Brazil and Israel is underpinned by coercive entanglements. The Israeli experience with the occupation of the Palestinian territories has brought the Israel Defense Forces and the country¡¯s private security industry international recognition for their urban warfare skills and related security technologies; Brazil has recently gained international recognition for urban pacification efforts that emphasize the country¡¯s military¡¯s ability to combine ¡°hard¡± and ¡°soft¡± skills, thereby foregrounding the nexus of military and humanitarian forms of engagement on urban battlefields. Empirical findings framed by critical scholarship on pacification demonstrate how recent shifts in the military and diplomatic relations between the two countries seek to symbolically capitalize on their own and each other¡¯s urban warfare experiences to promote themselves as security experts capable of addressing a range of future urban threat scenarios¡ªfrom urban warfare to antigang and antiriot policing and peacekeeping. A reorganiza£¿£¿o transnacional das pr¨¢ticas, discursos e tecnologias de urbaniza£¿£¿o contemporanea entre Brasil e Israel s£¿o movidas por envolvimento coercitivo. A experi¨ºncia israelense de ocupa£¿£¿o dos territ¨®rios palestinos trouxe prest¨ªgio internacional ¨¤s For£¿as de Defesa Israelense, bem como ¨¤ ind¨²stria de seguran£¿a particular do pa¨ªs, em virtude de tecnologia de combate urbano. Brasil recentemente alcan£¿ou reconhecimento internacional pelos esfor£¿os de pacifica£¿£¿o urbana, que enfatizam a habilidade das for£¿as armadas do pa¨ªs em combinar ¡°soft and hard skills¡±, criando assim um nexo de intera£¿£¿o militar e humanit¨¢rio no campo de batalha urbano. Observa£¿£¿es produzidas em moldura cr¨ªtica acad¨ºmica sobre pacifica£¿£¿o demonstram de que modo mudan£¿as recentes nas rela£¿£¿es diplom¨¢tica e militar dos dois pa¨ªses visam capitalizar simbolicamente as experi¨ºncias respectivas para promoverem a si mesmos como especialistas em seguran£¿a capazes de tratar uma variedade de cen¨¢rios urbanos de risco¡ªdesde a guerra urbana contra gangs at¨¦ o policiamento de manifesta£¿£¿es
