As old white men continue to dominate the national and international
stages, the needs of women and minorities are constantly ignored.
International politics are shaped by a ruthless competition for
advantage, and the world is full of conflicts, crises and wars. Things
have to change.
Activist and political scientist Kristina Lunz is on a mission to do
just that. In her work from New York to Bogotá, from Germany to
Myanmar, she became aware of a stubborn unwillingness to think past
the status quo and to embrace new, innovative voices from marginalized
groups. She also saw that the tradition of feminist activism combined
brilliantly with diplomacy: both require grim tenacity, boundless
creativity and a solutions-oriented approach. In her attempt to
reconfigure the field of foreign policy, she aims to set in motion a
paradigm shift, replacing grandiose displays of military might with
feminism, solidarity and climate justice.
A feminist foreign policy requires the promotion of equal rights in
the handling of foreign affairs and security matters worldwide, with a
particular focus on marginalized and politically underrepresented
groups. Ultimately, this is nothing less than an inclusive, visionary
policy for the twenty-first century, one where security and
prosperity, health and climate justice are possible - in other words:
where peace is possible for everyone, everywhere.
