Abstract:
This panel explores alternative approaches to foreign policy. It focuses on transformative foreign policy frameworks and agendas that seek to broaden the inclusion of previously marginalised populations, such as Indigenous peoples and women, and the agendas associated with them. While such approaches have faced pushback, for example the reversal of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy, inclusionary agendas in the foreign policy space have gained important ground. An example is Australia’s Indigenous foreign policy. Against this backdrop, the panel examines the prospects and challenges pertaining to developing and implementing inclusionary approaches to foreign policy across a range of contexts. It also examines the intersections between and synergies among different approaches and explores how modes of public diplomacy, such as sports diplomacy, incorporate inclusionary and transformative elements.
