N2  - As old white men continue to dominate the national and international stages, the needs of women and minorities are constantly ignored.  International politics are shaped by a ruthless competition for advantage, and the world is full of conflicts, crises and wars.  Things have to change.  Activist and political scientist Kristina Lunz is on a mission to do just that.  In her work from New York to Bogotá, from Germany to Myanmar, she became aware of stubborn unwillingness to think past the status quo and embrace new, innovative voices from marginalized groups.  She also saw that the tradition of feminist activism combined brilliantly with diplomacy: both require grim tenacity, boundless creativity and a solutions-oriented approach.  In her attempt to reconfigure the field of foreign policy, she aims to set in motion a paradigm shift, replacing grandiose displays of military might with feminism, solidarity and climate justice.  A feminist foreign policy requires the promotion of equal rights in the handling of forign affairs and security matters worldwide, with a particular focus on marginalized and politically underrepresented groups.  Ultimately, this is nothing less than an inclusive, visionary policy for the twenty-first century, one where security and prosperity, health and climate justice are possible - in other words: where peace is possible for everyone, everywhere. -- Provided by publisher
