One of the greatest shortcomings in Foreign Policy Analysis is the paucity of studies on policy
output. Moreover, there is an understanding in Brazil that foreign policy, despite a public
policy, would preserve some characteristics of State policy. This notion has no heuristic
benefits, as it does not represent the political dynamics and hampers the production of an
evidence-based foreign policy. This paper, via literature reviews, contributes to the field on
two fronts: by presenting a concept of public policy that fully encompasses foreign policy,
and by discussing the main models and the validity of evaluation as a research approach.
