This research studies Sweden s role as a norm entrepreneur for feminist foreign policy, through an analysis of the country s historical feminist movement, its domestic events and based on diffusion of norms theories. To do this, we analyze the events and internal actors that influenced Sweden, starting from second-wave feminism, until 2014 when the country announced that its government and foreign policy would be feminist. We then assess, by means of theories on the life cycle of norm diffusion by Finnermore and Sikkink, and Bjorkdal, whether the way Sweden launched and disseminated its feminist foreign policy reinforces, or not, the country s role as a norm entrepreneur in the global scenario. We observe, based on the way in which the policy is presented – as a manual, in multiple languages, with a strategic promotion and dissemination plan –, that it arises with the intention to influence other States and actors to adopt the feminist perspective. By doing this, Sweden incentivizes the debate on gender equality and gives it visibility. We conclude that the norm in question is still being disseminated and, therefore, that there are ample possibilities for developments in terms of the internalization of feminist foreign policy on a global scale, as the concept is still in development.
