II.) y esto ha supuesto un importante avance teórico y práctico de la dinámica internacional con perspectiva de género. Basado en la noción de que las disparidades entre mujeres y hombres tienen un impacto en las estructuras de poder, se plantea la cuestión de incluir las experiencias y voces de las mujeres en el análisis de la política internacional. El propósito de este artículo es contestar a las siguientes preguntas: ¿en dónde están las mujeres en la diplomacia mexicana? Y ¿cuáles son las principales barreras u obstáculos a las que las mujeres mexicanas se han enfrentado para formar parte del Servicio Exterior mexicano? Aunque México adoptó una política exterior feminista, las mujeres no ocupan los puestos de mayor nivel jerárquico en el sector público. Para seguir avanzando en el estudio y su aplicación en la práctica diplomática, también se examinan las contribuciones clave realizadas por eminentes académicas feministas como J. Ann Tickner y Cynthia Enloe. Este artículo presenta un enfoque metodológico, a través de una revisión de literatura, sobre la influencia del feminismo en la disciplina y sobre la participación de las mujeres mexicanas en la diplomacia pública del país.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: Since the last few decades, feminism has been incorporated into the discipline of International Relations (IR), which has represented an important theoretical and practical advance in international dynamics with a gender perspective. Based on the notion that disparities between women and men have an impact on power structures, the question of including women&#8217;s experiences and voices in the analysis of international politics has increased. The purpose of this article is to answer the following questions: where are the women in Mexican diplomacy? Which are the most important barriers or obstacles that Mexican women have faced to be part of the Mexican Foreign Service? Considering that, although Mexico adopted a feminist foreign policy, women do not occupy the highest hierarchical positions in the public sector. To further advance the study and its application in diplomatic practice, key contributions made by eminent feminist scholars such as J. Ann Tickner and Cynthia Enloe are also examined. This article presents a literature review as a methodological approach on the influence of Feminism in the discipline and on the participation of Mexican women in the country&#8217;s public diplomacy.]]></p></abstract>
