Denne fokusartikkelen gjennomgår 25 år med sammenkoblinger mellom agendaen for kvinner, fred og sikkerhet (women, peace and security, WPS) og finsk utenrikspolitikk. Artikkelen belyser den rollen sentrale finske politiske ledere har spilt i vedtakelsen, utviklingen og gjennomføringen av WPS-agendaen, og sporer dens institusjonalisering i finsk utenrikspolitikk gjennom fire nasjonale handlingsplaner. Med utgangspunkt i feministisk forskning undersøker vi hvordan agendaen er koblet sammen med tre kjønnsrelaterte politiske prosjekter som preger finsk politikk: nyliberalisme, konservatisme og militarisme. Vi hevder at selv om disse politiske prosjektene kan begrense agendaens transformative potensial, bidrar de også til å forklare dens vedvarende synlighet og institusjonelle motstandskraft innen finsk utenrikspolitikk gjennom det siste kvarte århundret. Abstract in EnglishWomen, Peace and Security in Finnish Foreign PolicyThis focus article reviews the 25-year history of interlinkages between the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda and Finnish foreign policy. It documents the roles individual Finnish political leaders played in the adoption, development and implementation of the WPS agenda, particularly in the early years. It also analyses the institutionalisation of the WPS agenda within Finnish through four national action plans. We specifically interrogate the agenda’s interlinkages with three pervasive political projects within Finnish society: neoliberalism, conservatism and militarism. We argue that all three forces can undermine the transformative potential of the WPS agenda but can paradoxically also help explain the WPS agenda’s vitality within Finnish foreign policy over the last 25 years.
