Domination, Participation, PolicyAbstract
The participation of women in foreign policy and in transnational decision-making spaces needs to be discussed, since, in a world in which injustices and struggles for equality are not restricted to the domestic sphere, women's equal and representative participation in international spaces is a demand for the advancement of the promotion of gender equality and the breaking of the dominant patriarchal structure that reproduces the relations of domination. Thus, the present research will attempt to contextualize these new ideas in a scenario that is believed to be becoming more favorable to women's acceptance and ascension in the media related to international relations, especially in Latin America, reflecting the increase in women's access careers and predominantly male areas. The proposal is to analyze theoretically a policy that translates the ideas of democracy and inclusion aimed at accessing and preserving the feminine ascent in the international political field, bringing some questions and complexities of the struggle for power in parity to the male figure.
