Since Sweden launched the world's first Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP), the concept has become ubiquitous in foreign policy studies and practice. This book examines its rapid global diffusion, the challenges it faces and the fierce resistance it has provoked.

Featuring contributions from academics, activists and practitioners, the book interrogates FFP's intersections with militarism, colonialism and patriarchy, while tracing its spread beyond the Global North. Amid democratic decline and surging far-right forces, it not only explores the rollback of feminist gains but also the resilience and creativity of civil society advocacy. Enriched with creative entries like poetry, this collection offers a bold multidisciplinary exploration of FFP's transformative possibilities, and contested, uncertain future in global politics.
