本文的总体目的是探讨赫尔加·m·赫恩斯关于女性友好型福利国家的概念在分析斯堪的纳维亚国家中的分析潜力和规范价值。第一部分讨论了关于性别平等和社会正义的基本理论、政治和规范假设，这些假设与再分配、承认和代表性等方面有关。第二部分论述了这些概念在理解斯堪的纳维亚性别平等发展方面的分析潜力。重点是与斯堪的纳维亚福利和性别平等模式的可取性、可行性和理论力量以及潜在的规范、经验和理论前提相关的三个主题。该分析分析了与女性友好政策有关的公私分离的争论，重点是育儿假、儿童保育和涉及外国人的婚姻年龄限制。国家女权主义与妇女的政治参与和代表权以及妇女影响两性平等政策的能力有关。此外，还确定了国家对国家女权主义看法的国家差异。最后，本文阐述了在西方福利国家对全球化、老龄化和多元文化主义的反应的辩论中，妇女友好政策的作用。
The overall aim of this article is to explore the analytical potential and normative value of Helga M. Hernes' concept about woman-friendly welfare states in analysis of Scandinavian countries. The first part discusses the underlying theoretical, political and normative assumptions about gender equality and social justice related to dimensions such as redistribution, recognition and representation. The second part addresses the analytical potential of the concepts for understanding gender equality developments in Scandinavia. The focus is on three themes related to the desirability, feasibility, and theoretical strength of the Scandinavian welfare and gender equality model and the underlying normative, empirical and theoretical premises. The analysis deals with debates about the public-private split in relation to woman-friendly policies, focusing on parental leave, childcare, and age restrictions in marriages involving foreigners. State feminism is explored in relation to women's political participation and representation and women's ability to influence gender equality policies. Furthermore, national variations in views about state feminism are identified. Finally, the article addresses the role of woman-friendly policies in debates about responses of Western welfare states to globalization, ageing and multiculturalism.
