We explore the interplay between state feminism and intersectionality as it plays out in legislation and institutional structures in the Nordic countries. What brought intersectionality on the political agenda in the countries? Did national actors and forces push for intersectionality, or was EU the main driver for changes? Can we identify a synergy between gender equality policies and structures and intersectional legislative and institutional practices? Does intersectionality renew the gender equality agenda and does is restrict or limit it? Are there conflicts and competition between gender and other strands in the Nordic countries, and how does it play out? Are there different patterns in the four countries, and how may they be explained?
