CANADA'S FEMINIST FOREIGN POLICY: 2015-2019. ASSESSMENT AND LESSONS FOR MEXICO

After almost a decade of conservative governments in Canada, the Liberal Party returned to power in 2015 under the leadership of Justin Trudeau. His resounding victory enabled him to implement a progressive agenda, one that prioritized cross-cutting gender equality, which led to the development of a feminist foreign policy (PEF, by its acronym in Spanish). The purpose of this paper is to analyze the conceptualization, implementation and results of this Canadian initiative, in order to identify lessons that might be useful to Mexico, one year after the launch of its own PEF.
