Editors' pick Swedish Feminist Foreign Policy in the Making

The article ”Swedish Feminist Foreign Policy in the Making: Ethics, Politics, and Gender”, co-authored by Karin Aggestam and Annika Bergman Rosamond, is part of the Carnegie Council Special Collection of "Editors' Picks" from the 30th Anniversary volym of the journal "Ethics & International Affairs”.

In 2014 the world’s first self-defined feminist government was formed in Sweden. As part of that ambitious declaration, Sweden also became the first state ever to publicly adopt a feminist foreign policy, with a stated ambition to become the “strongest voice for gender equality and full employment of human rights for all women and girls.”

The article strives to examine and highlight some of the substance and plausible future directions of feminist foreign policy.
