Arab Saudi, Constructivism, Leadership, Progressive Identity, UNCSWAbstract
Saudi Arabia's involvement in the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW) has drawn criticism from most member states because of its apparent contradiction with the ideals of the UN CSW. This study discusses the occurrence of Saudi identity reform in the gender realm, influenced by international norms as the main driver. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method by collecting data sources from various scientific literature to examine the process and efforts of Saudi Arabia to make its progressive image accepted by the global community. Alexander Wendt's Constructivity Theory is used to explore the identity of Saudi Arabia being reconstructed through the interaction of international norms in the UNCSW forum. The research findings indicate that Saudi leadership at the UN CSW reflects an adaptation to international norms and efforts to reconstruct Saudi Arabia's global image as a supporter of gender equality despite domestic challenges. The results of this study provide insights into domestic policies, international pressures, and gender reform in Saudi Arabia, within the context of Saudi leadership at the CSW.
