Modern Ideologies: Intellectual Transformations and Their Impact on Global Politics (Feminist Theory as a Model
Keywords:
ideology, feminism, global politics, intersectionalityAbstract
Feminist theory is a contemporary ideology that has profoundly transformed the traditional understanding of politics and social relations. This theory aims to analyze the causes of gender inequality and shed light on the issues that affect women's lives. Although feminism began as a social movement seeking to improve women's rights, it has evolved into a broad theoretical framework that has had a significant impact on global politics. In the field of public policy, feminist theory has pushed for the redesign of policies to become more inclusive and gender-just, leading to the issuance of legislation that enhances women's rights and supports their participation in political and economic fields. In international relations, feminism has contributed to redefining the concepts of security and peace, emphasizing the importance of involving women's perspectives in peace processes and international negotiations, which has led to the adoption of a more comprehensive approach to conflict resolution. In the economic field, feminist theory has highlighted the importance of unpaid work performed by women and called for its recognition in national economic accounts. It has also had a clear impact on culture and media, helping to challenge prevailing stereotypes and raise awareness of gender and justice issues. In addition, feminist theory has influenced academic and political thought by offering new insights into power and knowledge, expanding the scope of political and social studies to include diverse aspects of human experience.
