THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN SHAPING FOREIGN POLICY AT THE LEVEL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE STATES OF THE MIDDLE EAST (AN APPROACH FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE FEMINIST THEORY OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS)

Summary/Abstract: In the twentieth century, the way women are seen and perceived has changed substantially from the nineteenth century, especially because of the feminist movements that have advocated for the same rights as men. In the 21st century, the role of women has become a substantial one at the level of the states but also of the international organizations. The present article aims to analyze how women have influenced foreign policy at EU level as well as in the states of the Middle East. The working hypothesis of the article is that women managed to directly influence the foreign policy of the EU member states, the union but also of the states of the Middle East formally through the leadership positions they held during 2014-2019, but also informally. At the same time, the article aims to highlight the role of women as decision makers and in the outlining of foreign policy.
