Abstract

In the context of the war against Ukraine, feminist foreign policy has become an issue in Germany. However, the current discussion tends to neglect feminist criticism of the patriarchal foundation of international politics and the masculinist foundation of militarism and violence of war. In particular, feminist foreign policy should react to the dichotomies and processes of polarizations that strengthen the will to war and inform the basic patterns of anti-emancipatory developments of all kinds. Otherwise, feminist foreign policy will hardly succeed in providing adequate answers to the urgent questions of peace.
