Foreign Policy
in Numbers

Welcome to the Brazilian foreign policy data analysis portal

Introduction

Below we present a variety of data on Brazil’s activities abroad, as well as federal spending on the country’s international relations. We pay special attention to Brazil’s bilateral relations through the foreign policy index, an aggregate measure of various indicators on the level of bilateral engagement with 195 countries, as well as diplomatic spending by country.

With this data we are able to evaluate foreign policy under the traditional public policy model of costs (input) and benefits (output), assuming that the central objective is to maintain or increase international engagement with its peers.

Determining the success or failure of foreign policy requires the establishment of a tangible objective that can be measured in terms of the costs of the initiative and the gains achieved. This platform seeks to contribute to the construction of a quantitative model for evaluating Brazilian foreign policy.
