Ep. 10 – Who gets to redefine a more inclusive foreign policy?
As more governments adopt Feminist Foreign Policy frameworks, questions remain about how inclusive and context-sensitive these approaches truly are.In this episode of The Diplomat’s Cabinet, host Maria Luísa Moreira speaks with Ambika Vishwanath, Founder Director of the Kubernein Initiative and DFAT-funded Research Fellow at La Trobe Asia, to unpack what inclusive foreign policy should actually look like across different geographies.Drawing from India’s approach to foreign policy, which has been deliberately inclusive but not explicitly labeled, Ambika offers a grounded perspective on how regional dynamics shape policy priorities and impact implementation.We examine the limits of global frameworks, the risks of exporting models without local adaptation, and the practical steps needed to build foreign policy that reflects lived realities rather than symbolic gestures.Listen in for a sharper lens on inclusion and what it means to build policy that works from the ground up.+THE DIPLOMAT'S CABINETSubscribe NewsletterConnect with usInstagramLinkedInWebsitethediplomatscabinet.com Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 6 – Why do political elites fail on climate policy? with Dr. António Valentim | The Power Diplomat
THE DIPLOMAT'S CABINET PODCAST | THE POWER DIPLOMATExtreme weather is no longer just about floods and fires — it’s a mirror reflecting the cracks in our politics. In this episode of The Diplomat’s Cabinet Podcast, we examine why climate shocks rarely lead to long-term political shifts, and why mainstream parties still avoid framing them as climate issues.Joining us is Dr. António Valentim, political scientist and Assistant Professor at the London School of Economics, whose research explores how parties respond to climate crises, why prevention may be politically unattractive, and how public opinion and activism are shaping — or failing to shape — climate policy.If politics continues to treat climate as an afterthought, what kind of future are we hurtling toward?Subscribe to The Diplomat’s Cabinet newsletter.
