Abstract

This research explains the influence of the #MeToo movement phenomenon on social and political dynamics in the MENA. Against the backdrop of slow structural change and an authoritarian social contract in the region, the #MeToo movement expanded the space for women and men to overcome cultural taboos regarding gender-based violence. With social movement theory, this research analyses this phenomenon through political opportunities, mobilisation structures, and artistic framing. The analysis results show that the #MeToo movement in MENA gives women and men a voice in fighting gender oppression, changing cultural norms, and demanding policy reform by involving social media as a critical tool to trigger a change in society's perception of sexual violence and provide the impetus for broader reform in women's rights in the region.

Abstract

This study investigated the complex dynamics of center-regional relations in nationally motivated paradiplomacy, using Scotland as a case study. As a devolved nation within the United Kingdom (UK), Scotland has actively pursued international engagement not merely as a pragmatic exercise in policy diffusion or economic cooperation, but as a strategic vehicle for constructing a distinct national identity. This research identified the nationalist dimension as a primary motive behind Scottish paradiplomacy, particularly under the leadership of the Scottish National Party. Employing a qualitative interpretive approach and a case study method, the study drew upon primary sources (official Scottish government documents, speeches, and international frameworks) and secondary literature spanning 2014 to 2022. Using the analytical lens of paradiplomatic theory and the center-regional relationship typology developed by Panayotis Soldatos, the study concluded that Scotland’s paradiplomacy fits the parallel disharmony pattern. While Scotland and the UK operate simultaneously in international affairs, their motivations, narratives, and policy orientations frequently diverge. Scotland’s emphasis on global citizenship, climate justice, and European engagement stands in stark contrast to London’s centralist and post-Brexit trajectory. This dissonance illustrates how subnational paradiplomacy can serve not only as a policy tool but also as a political instrument for autonomy-seeking entities, challenging conventional notions of sovereignty from below. This study contributes to the broader discourse on paradiplomacy by demonstrating how subnational governments with strong nationalist narratives can develop differentiated external roles within a unitary state structure.
