Balinese Female Politicians Formed by Social Formations in Interplay Process: The Structure of the Social System and Culture

This research aims to analyze the social formations formed by Balinese female politicians in the process of interplay between themselves as actors and the social and cultural structures and systems of Balinese society. This research is expected to increase understanding of personal branding activities carried out by political actors concerning systems and structures which then form structuration. This research uses a qualitative approach. This research finds that Balinese female politicians can participate as actors in shaping social formations. Female politicians do not always raise women's issues as a strategy for marketing political advice but can provide solutions to various social problems faced by society. Balinese female politicians as political actors deliberately establish a reciprocal relationship (dialectic of control) with the system and structure of Balinese society, thus creating structuration.
