Abstract

In this article, we explain the main contributions of feminist theories and approaches to International Relations and Foreign Policy. Moreover, by analysing the feminist foreign policies of Sweden and Canada, we propose a conceptual framework to understand the objectives and scope of the mexican feminist foreign policy (MFFP). Lastly, through the contributions of postcolonial and decolonial studies, we argue that the epistemic position of the MFFP could be situated in decoloniality, which would represent an opportunity to exchange ideas, from interculturality, with historically marginalised societies and build policies that disrupt the patriarchy.
