The dominance of old white men on the national and international stages has led to the neglect of the needs of women and minorities. International politics is characterized by a fierce competition for advantage, resulting in conflicts, crises, and wars. Activist and political scientist Kristina Lunz is determined to bring about change.
Through her work in New York, Bogotá, Germany, and Myanmar, Lunz observed a resistance to challenging the status quo and embracing innovative perspectives from marginalized groups. She also recognized the synergy between feminist activism and diplomacy, both requiring unwavering determination, creativity, and a solutions-oriented approach.
In her endeavor to reshape the field of foreign policy, Lunz aims to initiate a paradigm shift, replacing grandiose displays of military might with feminism, solidarity, and climate justice. A feminist foreign policy encompasses the promotion of equal rights in the handling of foreign affairs and security matters globally, with a particular emphasis on marginalized and politically underrepresented groups.
Ultimately, this vision represents an inclusive and visionary policy for the twenty-first century, one that fosters security, prosperity, health, and climate justice for all. It envisions a world where peace is attainable for everyone, regardless of their location or background.
