Who produces knowledge on feminist foreign policy? When did academic research on feminist international relations start taking shape? And who gets to define what a feminist foreign policy might look like? In this episode, we go back in time with Lucia Yar, acting editor-in-chief of Euractiv Slovakia, to find the roots of feminist foreign policy in movements of the early-20th century, whilst discussing ground-breaking research that’s changing how we think about the impacts of representation in policy making.

In the series of podcasts ‘Retrieved’, by the Heinrich Böll Foundation - Thessaloniki office, we bring together experts, policy-makers and members of the civil society. We take a closer look at feminist foreign policy and understand what it means for the peace-building, migration, defence and many other policy areas.
