The declaration of a feminist foreign policy is remarkable in many aspects.

How does it affect women around the world?
From analyzing foreign aid policy of two Swedish governments and the allocation of foreign aid, this study found that it makes no difference for women in the world whether the foreign policy is feminist or not.
