Woman Leadership In Global Politics:
Comparison Between Women Leader
Women Position on Global Politics
Speaking on leadership at the level of the state, then we will talk about politics and power.
Harold Lasswell defined politics as who gets what, how, and when. From this definition, it
can be seen that politics is an area that is masculine because it involves the presence of
strategies to pursue a series of ambitious things. While to realize this ambition, it is a political
actor claimed to have the power. Referring to Robert Dahl, power can be described as the
ability possessed by a political actor in which he was able to force the opponent to do things
that are not liked by the opponent, but beneficial to the political actors. "The ability of A to
get B to do something that B would not otherwise do".
During politics is synonymous with masculine life, which includes independence, freedom of
opinion, and aggressive action. The third activity is less fit for women who tend to be subtle.
So it is very rarely found in the Indonesian political system found in the woman intervened
political seat. In any social life, society indifferent and reluctant when a woman tries to build
political power (leadership). In addition, the lack of a general overview of women leaders is
minimal, so that culturally Sagat little references to women who want to become a leader.
Here we can see the existence of a very close relationship and mutual support between
leadership, power, and masculinity. In other words, to be able to lead, a political actor
claimed to have the power. While power itself refers to the masculine traits, such as
ambitious, courageous, strong, and also abstinence to be subdued. Referring to the
construction of this very masculine leadership, then where is the woman, and where
femininity. If true leadership and politics is the area of man, and how women can access these
areas. Does being masculine?
However, now times have changed, in which leadership traits a woman should not be
contrary to the feminist women. Instead, they are now more exalts as gentle feminist nature to
be one of the main weapon to enter the field of politics and business. In the end, men have
started to appreciate the women are no longer as opponents, but as partners is quite helpful..
The meaning here is the new style, where women are no longer to be masculine again, but
rather shows the feminine side by using an approach like a mother loving and attentive in
living their leadership.
It is time for the leadership seat currently dominated by masculine nature, need to be
decorated again with a slightly feminine side frame. So the new definition of power is reborn
with a mix of masculine and feminine characteristics, which could be achieved by both types
of gender, so that no further discovery of discrimination between the two genders. Like
Indonesia has created a great history for women who formerly oppressed by the patriarchal
culture such as in Indonesia, which was started by Kartini over gender mainstreaming in
obtaining an education. After Kartini contribute to the emancipation of women in the colonial
period.

Margaret Thatcer: Iron Lady.
Margaret Thatcher was a decisive leader, bold and consistent; so he is confident that his
policies right, he will not turn around because the pressure of the masses and the advice of his
aides. The following incident illustrates some of Mrs Thatcher's leadership as Prime Minister
of Great Britain from 1979 to 1990. Margaret Thatcher dared to take a big risk when in 1982
he decided to reclaim the Falklands Islands were occupied by Argentine Foreign Ministry
even suggested that he compromised.
The administration of President Ronald Reagan in the United States also suggested that Mrs
Thatcher negotiate with Argentina. However, Thatcher insisted that he will not compromise
about sovereignty and decided to send its navy to the islands within 12,000 km of mainland
Britain and is located only 500 miles from Argentina. If failed to seize the Falklands,
Thatcher was only three years will almost certainly fall because the government when it was
not popular due to the high unemployment rate.
Thatcher's decision to seize the Falklands are much bolder than the policies of Prime Minister
Tony Blair to follow suit with the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. In the Iraq War, U.S.
and British military are impossible while lost in the Falklands War is a defeat for the British
real possibility.
In domestic politics, Thatcher was also the leader of the big balls at once careful tactically. In
the late 1970s until the mid 1980s when the state still plays a major role in almost all sectors
of the economy, the British government is almost always to his knees facing the union
demands.
But in 1984, Mrs Thatcher decided to confront unions coal led Arthur Scargill, a Marxist
radical labor activists. Scargill opposed the government's decision to shut down the coal
mines that are not economical and think Thatcher would give up that power outages due to
coal supply is disconnected.
It turns out that Thatcher had prepared themselves by hoarding stocks of coal resulting in a
strong race that lasts for one year, a big strike that often marred by clashes ended without
concessions from the government. Thanks to Thatcher, since the union is no longer a scourge
for the UK industry. In 1979, 29 million working hours lost due to strikes, in 1989 that
number dropped to two million working hours.
In addition to bold, Thatcher also has a strong belief in the economic policies that he holds.
He broke the consensus between the two largest parties in the UK are the Labour Party and
the Conservative Party in force since the end of World War II in which direct state control of
economic assets, high tax rates and strict regulation.
In the Thatcher era British Airways, British Telecom, British Gas, and British Leyland sold to
the public in a series of policies instituted a new term called 'Privatisation'. Thatcher's
privatization policies then replicated many countries in the world, including Indonesia.

Indira Gandhi: The Dynasty of Fate.
Indira Gandhi was the first woman Prime Minister of the Indian State. She was the daughter
of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister after independence. Indira Gandhi was born
in Allahabad, India. most of his education he got from Europe, and he joined a political party
namely the National Congress Party in 1938. In 1942 Indira Gandhi was married to Feroze, in
karuniai 2 sons named Rajiv Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi.
At precisely 1947 after India gained independence, Indira worked together with his father
who at that time was serving as the Prime Minister of India. Indira has unexpectedly turned
out very brilliant achievement.
When Jawaharlal Nehru died in 1964 and was replaced by Prime Minister Shastri, Indira
Gandhi was appointed as Minister of Information and Broadcasting. Indira Gandhi was made
Prime Minister of India in 1966 as Prime Minister Shastri died. Very persistent struggle over
the Indira Gandhi gained popularity and is famous for his actions during the Civil War with
Pakistan in 1971, East Pakistan eventually won independence and now the 'Bangladesh'.
In this year also Indira Gandhi re-elected as Prime Minister, but soon the Indian state got
tough times in politics in his administration. Indira Gandhi's political opponents alleged that
he committed many violations in the election law, so that the reign when it vulnerable to
criticism and megalami drastic decline in the economy.
June 1975 Indira Gandhi declared that the state of emergency, political opponents would be
in prison, in press censorship, civil liberties limits and Gandhi also issued some unorthodox
policies, including large-scale sterilization voluntarily to suppress population growth is
rapidly increasing. It is also a threat to national security.
There came a time in the national elections held back in 1977. Indira Gandhi and His party
lost, which made him resign from office as well as in remove from Parliament, this year also
Indira Gandhi in jail in the not too distant future on charges of political corruption.
The new government is formed, but still can not resolve the problems being faced by the
Indian State. Indira Gandhi reorganized its Party in 1980, he was elected once again became
Prime Minister. Sanjay Gandhi as politics is the main adviser, who later died in a plane crash.
The first son of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi which had been prepared by his mother as a
substitute for Sanjay Gandhi as Advisory politics is.
As with the previous issue, the government of Indira Gandhi were both shaken the country in
religious issues and terrorism, posed by 'The Separatists'.
The Extremists 'Sikh' in the state of Punjab, clearly demanding to obtain the status of
autonomy. This makes it hard act to quell the rebellious Sikhs by sending troops to propagate
the'GOLDEN TEMPLE ', the Golden Temple in Amitsar that killed more than 300 people.
On October 31, 1984, some members of the Sikh guard duty in government, Indira Gandhi
shot to death, their retaliation against him.
Conclusion
View of the world and the public about global politics very hard and more dominant with a
very masculine terms when plunging into the world of politics is very thick. It is very
common when any person is more likely to trust and choose men to be actors in global
politics. So that the position of women just underestimated and it is an opportunity to put
women in a position of global politics which is more likely to have a feminine attitude.
But, in today's global political reality pretty much provides the opportunity for women to
become a global political actor is not even just be an actor but was believed to be a leader in
global politics. Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi are some figures that women leaders
have proven the power of a woman in global politics. They can show the role of women and
masculine enough even squeeze in one of Margaret Thatcher considered very hard decision
and Indira Gandhi proves he did inherit the leadership of his father's strength. How hard they
are to take the policy in its role in global politics but still they have a feminine side as a
mother and woman.
