Other potential bases that might seem obvious include game theory (https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2017-02-01/trump-and-putins-game-theory) and perhaps even evolutionary theory (http://oxfordre.com/politics/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228637.001.0001/acrefore-9780190228637-e-294). But is feminism an underappreciated basis? I discuss this topic with Jamille Bigio, Alexandra Bro, and Rachel Vogelstein, all at the Council on Foreign Relations. At a time when Sweden explicitly labels its foreign policy as "feminist," we explore what that means and whether there's evidence that feminist foreign policy is smart foreign policy.
