About The Book

Foreign policy lies at the heart of contemporary global governance, power, and cooperation, yet it also embodies some of the most complex challenges of inequality, conflict, and accountability. This Feminist Foreign Policy Fellowship – Cohort 2.0 – Event Outcome Report underscores the critical role of feminist policy research in navigating these complexities and advancing more inclusive, ethical, and human-centered approaches to international relations. By foregrounding intersectional, participatory, and context-specific inquiry, it highlights how grounded feminist analysis can deepen our understanding of global power structures and support more just, responsive, and transformative
foreign policy outcomes.
As states and international institutions across the world confront intensifying geopolitical tensions, widening social and economic inequalities, and intersecting climate and humanitarian crises, feminist foreign policy emerges as both an ethical and strategic imperative. Moving beyond traditional notions of security and state-centric interests, this book emphasizes the importance of evidence-based, people-centred, and justice-oriented policymaking in shaping a more peaceful and equitable global order.
At its core, this volume emphasizes the need to equip emerging scholars, practitioners, diplomats, researchers, and policymakers with the critical perspectives and analytical tools required to engage with the evolving challenges of global governance through a feminist lens. By fostering reflective dialogue and interdisciplinary learning, the book contributes to ongoing efforts to reimagine foreign policy as a practice grounded in care, equity, and global solidarity.
