For human security in Middle East policy: Options for political action
Why ThinkPeace? Adding Feminist Perspectives to the Discourse
The incoming German government will have to navigate challenges that are existential to Germany, Europe, and international peace and security. Critical, comprehensive, and sustainable solutions are needed at a time when global order, based on international law, is shaken at its core. While the future of feminist foreign policy as a governmental framework in Germany remains in question, this series aims at widening the discussion on critical security policy challenges to feminist perspectives, contributing to a process of shaping discourse and setting priorities within a human security approach.
The endeavor is a collaboration of the Heinrich Boell Foundation’s Global Unit for Feminism and Gender Democracy, the Global Unit for Human Security, and the Foreign and Security Policy Division, co-created with Barbara Mittelhammer.
