The rapid rise and fall of Brazilian foreign policy initiatives and capacities across the Lula (2003-2010), Dilma (2011-2016), and Temer (2016-2018) governments cannot be attributed solely to any of these presidential administrations but was also affected by domestic variables, international events, and economic factors. Furthermore, identity, corporations, the media, corruption scandals, and other variables influenced each president's ability to conduct foreign policy. Process tracing of these three governments reveals the way policies and programs such as the BRICS and IBSA can be understood in this context. In short, analyses of Brazilian foreign policy must be balanced between agent and structure. A rápida ascensão e queda das iniciativas e capacidades da política externa brasileira nos governos Lula (2003-2010), Dilma (2011-2016) e Temer (2016-2018) não pode ser atribuída somente a qualquer uma dessas administrações presidenciais, mas também foi afetada por variáveis domésticas, eventos internacionais e fatores econômicos. Além disso, identidade, corporações, mídia, escândalos de corrupção e outras variáveis influenciaram a capacidade de cada presidente de conduzir a política externa. O rastreamento de processos desses três governos revela a maneira pela qual políticas e programas como o BRICS e o IBSA podem ser compreendidos nesse contexto. Em suma, as análises da política externa brasileira devem ser equilibradas entre agentes e estruturas
