The Future of Foreign Policy Is Feminist
As old white men continue to dominate the national and international stages, the needs of women and minorities are constantly ignored. International politics are shaped by a ruthless competition for advantage, and the world is full of conflicts, crises and wars. Things have to change. Activist and political scientist Kristina Lunz is on a mission to do just that. In her work from New York to Bogotá, from Germany to Myanmar, she became aware of a stubborn unwillingness to think past the status quo and to embrace new, innovative voices from marginalized groups. She also saw that the tradition of feminist activism combined brilliantly with diplomacy: both require grim tenacity, boundless creat...
The European Commission under President Ursula von der Leyen
The volume provides the first comprehensive account of the European Commission under its first female president, Ursula von der Leyen (2019-2024). Amid unprecedented crises, von der Leyen pressed forward with an exceptionally ambitious political agenda, simultaneously pushing European integration into new territory and demanding a new European vision for "A Union of Equality." Applying a gender approach, this book systematically examines von der Leyen's ascendance to and exercise of political leadership in the European Union, the Commission's substantive agenda-setting and policy-making, its responses to the various European crises, and its impact on European governance. The volume provides ...
Feminist IR in Europe
The aim of this open access book is to take stock of, critically engage, and celebrate feminist IR scholarship produced in Europe. Organized thematically, the volume highlights a wealth of excellent scholarship, while also focusing on the politics of location and the international political economy of feminist knowledge production. Who are some of the central feminist scholars located in Europe? How might the concentration of these scholars in Northern Europe and the UK shape the contents of their scholarship? What have some of the main contributions been, in the study of the following themes: security; war and military; peace; migration; international political economy and development; foreign policy; diplomacy; and global governance and international organizations? The volume offers both an intellectual history and a sociology of feminist IR scholarship in Europe. It showcases the vitality and breadth of feminist IR traditions, while simultaneously calling attention to theirpartial nature, exclusions and silences.
Feminist Policymaking in Turbulent Times
Feminist Policymaking in Turbulent Times offers a unique and timely reflection of the critical debates around the institutionalisation of feminist and gender-focused ideas and norms into policy. Many states and non-governmental organisations are increasingly invested in ‘feminist policymaking’ at the domestic and international levels. Yet, this liberal (feminist) agenda is also vastly disputed by critical, intersectional, and decolonial voices on the one hand, and by anti-gender movements around the world on the other hand. Indeed, while opposition to ‘gender ideology’ is mounting from reactionary, religious, and secular forces, feminist policymaking is also being challenged in impor...

Feminist Foreign Policy
Since Sweden launched the world’s first Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP), the concept has become ubiquitous in foreign policy studies and practice. This book examines its rapid global diffusion, the challenges it faces and the fierce resistance it has provoked. Featuring contributions from academics, activists and practitioners, the book interrogates FFP’s intersections with militarism, colonialism and patriarchy, while tracing its spread beyond the Global North. Amid democratic decline and surging far-right forces, it not only explores the rollback of feminist gains but also the resilience and creativity of civil society advocacy. Enriched with creative entries like poetry, this collection offers a bold multidisciplinary exploration of FFP’s transformative possibilities, and contested, uncertain future in global politics.
