Abstract

This study examines the intersection of social inequality and political power, focusing on how identity markers such as race, class, and gender influence political participation. It explores structural barriers that perpetuate exclusion and evaluates the roles of social movements, electoral systems, and policy reforms in addressing these inequities. Through case studies and intersectional analysis, the paper identifies mechanisms of exclusion and outlines actionable strategies to foster inclusive governance, contributing to efforts to dismantle systemic inequality and build equitable political systems.
