Feminist Foreign Policy
Listen now
Description
Season 2 starts with a discussion on the linkages between Women Peace Security (WPS) and feminist foreign policy (FFP). Joining our Director Eva Tabbasam in conversation are Toni Haastrup, Chair in Global Politics at the University of Manchester, and Ray Acheson, Director of Reaching Critical Will at the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. The conversation with these two experts includes an in-depth look at how states with FFPs fail to uphold feminist principles, especially when it comes to confronting power injustices and settler colonialism. Responses to violence against Indigenous Peoples, including Palestinians and First Nations are illustrative, as are increased arms sales. The conversation considers lessons learned from WPS,  interrogates FFP and asks how can this be more than a pink rebranding of the same old patriarchal approaches to policy?
