Description

About the Book

This anthology is a thought-provoking collection of essays from the Feminist Foreign Policy Fellowship, organized by IMPRI. Over the course of this transformative program, fellows engaged deeply with the intersections of gender, power, and international relations, challenging traditional frameworks and proposing innovative approaches to foreign policy through a feminist lens.

The essays in this collection explore a wide array of topics, from the role of women’s organizations in shaping feminist foreign policy to the digitalization of diplomacy and the geopolitics of renewable energy. Each contribution reflects a commitment to justice, inclusivity, and a reimagined world order, one in which feminist principles guide not only domestic policies but also global strategies and international relations.

By focusing on issues such as gender equity, security, digital diplomacy, and the empowerment of marginalized communities, the fellows have illuminated the potential of feminist foreign policy to disrupt hegemonic power structures and promote global solidarity. Their work draws from diverse case studies, critically analyzing current policies and presenting actionable, community-driven recommendations for a more inclusive and equitable international system.

This anthology serves as a resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers eager to explore the transformative potential of feminist foreign policy. It underscores the importance of integrating gender justice into global decision-making processes and affirms that feminist approaches to diplomacy are not just theoretical, but are crucial for building a more just, peaceful, and equitable world. As you engage with these essays, we invite you to consider how feminist foreign policy can reshape the future of international relations and the role of gender in global governance.
