Abstract [en]

The populist radical right (PRR) parties in the Nordic region have acted in political systems and societies in which gender equality, from a comparative perspective, has been an important political project. This chapter analyses how the parties have acted in these “gender-friendly” environments and pinpoints the changes in policies that have taken place over time. The predecessor parties of the present PRR parties vehemently opposed the Nordic gender model which was believed to destroy the heteronormative nuclear family. By the beginning of the 2000s, however, the Nordic PRR parties had come to accept these policies as beneficial for balancing working life with family responsibilities. Moreover, they even embraced it as part of the Nordic political identity and as something to take pride in. As such, they have increasingly expressed femonationalist views i.e. that gender equality is an important value that has been achieved in their own countries and that immigrant “foreign” cultures – particularly Islam – are incompatible with this Nordic tradition. While the parties have adapted to mainstream positions within the Nordic gender welfare model, they have consistently opposed affirmative actions such as quotas, public support to gender awareness projects and research.
