De Scandinavische gebieden worden vaak beschouwd als een plaats waar er een grote gelijkheid onder de seksen heerst. Dit boek gaat op zoek naar de waarheid achter dit beeld aan de hand van de vragen: Hoe gelijk zijn mannen en vrouwen in Scandinavië? en hoe homogeen zijn de Scandinavische landen? Het boek toont aan dat er inderdaad vele overeenkomsten zijn tussen de landen, maar dat de processen van gelijkheid in de verschillende landen op vele vlakken anders zijn en dat deze verschillen groter zijn dan aanvankelijk aangenomen.

Abortion Politics, Women's Movements and the Democratic State examines the impact of women's movements since the 1960s on the policy-making processes determining abortion laws. The impact of women's movements is assessed in terms of their success in increasing the democratic representation of women generally and movement organizations specifically. Rather than asking 'how many women are in political office' this study asks 'to what extent are women included in the day to day process of making decisions?' Of special interest in this project is the extent to which states, through establishment of women's policy agencies, have assisted, opposed, or ignored the demands of movement activists for access to power and for feminist abortion policies. Researchers have examined these questions in policy debates over the last four decades in 11 advanced industrial democracies: Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United States.The findings of this cross-national longitudinal study document that women's movements have been successful in gaining both substantive and descriptive representation on abortion policy in a majority of the 32 debates studied. The ability of women's policy offices to provide a necessary and effective linkage between women's movement activism and increased democratic representation in policy- making varies both cross-nationally and over time. The openness of policy subsystems and the status of the parties on the left are factors that interact with variations in movement cohesion and resources to account for these variations. The results of a cross-national research project on abortion politics in 11 democratic states between the 1960s and 2000, this text examines whether women's policy agencies function as necessary and effective allies of women's movements in their efforts to gain access to power arenas and secure abortion laws that coincide with feminist goals.
