Opis

Feminist Foreign Policy in Theory and in Practice outlines the foundations of feminist foreign policy and the fundamental concepts discussed and utilized by governments, civil society organizations, and those in the academic community as they define, formulate, and implement it.

Recenzje

“As the dangers and costs of our current testosterone-driven global security system become increasingly clear, there is a desperate need for an alternative paradigm drawing on feminist principles to address international challenges such as pandemics, climate change, conflict resolution, food insecurity, and population displacement. In their groundbreaking book, Feminist Foreign Policy in Theory and in Practice, Stephenie Foster and Susan Markham draw on decades of leadership in the women, peace, and security arena to point the way to a more rational and effective security agenda based on feminist principles and approaches. Their highly readable contribution bridges the divide between theory and practice, and is essential reading for seasoned policy makers, veteran activists, and new-comers alike.”

Ambassador Donald Steinberg, Executive Director of Mobilizing Men as Partners for Women, Peace and Security

“Over the past decade since the idea of Feminist Foreign Policy was introduced, it has received considerable attention but not much clear explanation of what it means and what implementation would look like. Stephenie Foster and Susan Markham finally provide that explanation through the eyes of two practitioners who have dealt with security issues created by gender inequality across the globe. This book will be of interest to students, foreign policy and security practitioners and the general public.”

Joan Johnson-Freese, Senior Fellow, Women in International Security, Professor Emeritus, Naval War College, USA, and author of Women, Peace and Security: An Introduction

“Only a few countries have an explicit Feminist Foreign Policy; the UK does not. As policymakers consider developing these types of important policies, I commend this book as an important tool. It comprehensively examines, accesses and evaluates the policy and the actions that have been and need to be taken, in the context of gender equality and feminism generally. It is a valuable contribution to the debate.”

Baroness Mary Goudie, Member of the House of Lords, UK

“As I continue to promote Feminist Foreign Policy across the globe, it's great to have this book as an added tool in my toolbox. In addition to a thorough review of the framework and principles of FFP, it covers how feminist policies for foreign policy, development and trade have been implemented and what tangible steps the U.S. government might take to move in that direction.”

Kristina Lunz, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of The Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP)
