The Future of Foreign Policy is Feminist
Kristina Lunz (translated by Nicola Barfoot), Polity, £25
Why do we need a feminist foreign policy? Because, as Kristina Lunz, the co-founder of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy, explains, in the fields of foreign and security policy ‘we cannot go on with business as usual’. And so, in her own words, Lunz intends her work ‘to be a contribution to the feminist movement within international relations’.
With that in mind, this English translation of the German original – published in 2022 – tries to set the agenda for feminist foreign policy, or FFP, in the domain of foreign policy as well as interlocking areas such as human rights, global health policy, climate change and disarmament. Up to a point, she succeeds.
