Most recently, Germany introduced Feminist Foreign Policy guidelines that seek to make gender equality and women's rights central objectives of Germany's external relations. But how is Feminist Foreign Policy practiced by different countries and what are some of the contradictions between feminist commitments and traditional foreign policy goals? What might Feminist Foreign Policies look like in concrete cases like the Russian war against Ukraine?
