Description
Five years after the launch of the first Feminist Foreign Policy agenda by the Swedish government, this paper takes stock of the development of the agenda in Sweden. While the overall project is concerned with locating key elements of the self-proclaimed feminist foreign policy agenda and placing them in conversation with the broader (emerging) literature on the topic, this paper focuses in particular on the developments during the two years (2017-18) when Sweden sat on the UN Security Council. Doing so, the paper is concerned with what happens when feminist foreign policy idea(l)s are put into practice - and what happens when its primary proponents (the Swedish Government, but also particularly its Feminist Foreign Minister, Margot Wallström) leave these spaces.
