Theorizing Feminist Struggles in the Triangle of Neoliberalism, Conservatism, and Nationalism

Abstract

With the figure of a triangle as our analytical tool, we analyze the challenges that the convergence of neoliberalism, conservatism, and nationalism poses for gender equality and feminism. Focusing on the current Finnish political context, we argue that feminist critique of these three gendered political projects is compartmentalized: women’s organizations and feminist actors focus on one point of the triangle of neoliberalism, conservatism, and nationalism instead of engaging with the intersections and coalitions of the three projects. Compartmentalization leads to limited feminist analysis of the political context and policies.
