Sumario:The article discusses a book by Monika Sawicka that examines Brazil's foreign policy and its aspirations to become a global great power. The book applies role theory to analyze Brazil's diplomatic successes and failures, focusing on its roles as an integrator in its region, a donor in Africa, a mediator in the Middle East, and a coalition-builder in the global South. The author explores the ideational factors that influence Brazil's international standing and examines the country's identity and perceptions. While the book provides an overview of Brazilian foreign policy in the twenty-first century, the author of the article disagrees with some of the points made by Sawicka.
