Intersectional Advances? Inclusionary and Intersectional State Action in Uruguay

Abstract

T his chapter addresses the question of whether states can act intersectionally, and which social groups are most likely to push states to do so. I focus on the Uruguayan case, where I find that such action is limited to very specific instances that match the conditions required for inclusionary action: strong civil society mobilization, international pressure, party system change, and moderate- to low-cost solutions, alongside one simple, but thus far underutilized necessary condition for intersectional action: explicitly intersectional demands. I find in this case study, that women of color are more likely to engage in intersectional claims making and forward intersectional demands, while traditional feminist groups are less likely to do so. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
