European Equality Regimes: Institutional Change and Political Intersectionality

  • Chapter
Institutionalizing Intersectionality

Part of the book series: Gender and Politics series ((GAP))

Abstract

The analysis offered in the preceding chapters reveals that the past decade has been characterized by a tremendously dynamic European equality institutional arena. There have been ground-breaking changes, both in what is meant by equality policy and with respect to its institutionalization. These changes have occured at both a domestic and a European Union level. This volume has sought to capture this dynamic and to consider its likely implications for the emergence of a more intersectional approach to equality policy. Each of the chapters in the volume has addressed three key issues, to which we now return by way of conclusion, in order to draw out the comparative lessons embedded within the individual case studies.
