Are feminist foreign policy models from the Global South being constrained by unequal power dynamics?

To what extent must they conform their design and implementation to norms or expectations set by Global North states in order to be recognized as legitimate? Why some ffps in Latin America are falling for the allure of the “branding” because of a secure hegemonic bet that discourages deep and meaningful structural reforms? 

What can we learn from Sweden’s FFP model implementation in Bolivia? In what ways do decolonial feminist perspectives from Latin America expose the enduring legacies of colonialism and the presence of a double patriarchy that may shape the current and future adoption of feminist foreign policies in the region?

Why does Brazil, under Lula da Silva’s Administration, serve as a compelling example of these tensions and contradictions?

A new interview conducted in the Spanish language with Dr. Bruna Soares de Aguiar, Coordenadora de Projetos do

Observatório de Política Externa Inclusiva in Brazil and author of the new book Política Externa Feminista como Branding Governista.
