Replication Data for: Measuring Brazilian Foreign Policy Engagement: composition and validation of the Foreign Policy Index

The Foreign Policy Index (FPI) provides an annual measurement of Brazil’s bilateral engagement with nations around the world, bringing together in a single indicator different dimensions of the country’s international interaction. The FPI aims to contribute to the evaluation of Brazilian foreign policy, establishing an objective and replicable empirical instrument, allowing the monitoring of Brazil’s level of bilateral engagement over time. The data used to construct the FPI cover imports and exports, bilateral agreements, presidential trips, congruence in regional blocs and international organizations, covering a substantial part of the country’s bilateral relations in the world. The time series runs from 1998 to 2024. We present all the data for replication of the foreign policy index.
