The Nordic model comprises the economic and social policies as well as typical cultural practices common in the Nordic countries. This includes a comprehensive welfare state and multi-level collective bargaining based on the economic foundations of social corporatism,and a commitment to private ownership within a market-based mixed economy — with Norway being a partial exception due to a large number of state-owned enterprises and state ownership in publicly listed firms.
The Nordic Gender Institute (NIKK) (Norwegian:Nordisk institutt for kunnskap om kjønn),previously Nordic Institute for Women's Studies and Gender Research,was a transnational resource and information centre for gender research and gender equality in the Nordic countries. It was established in 1995 by the Nordic Council of Ministers and closed down in 2011.
State feminism is feminism created or approved by the government of a state or nation. It usually specifies a particular program. The term was coined by Helga Hernes with particular reference to the situation in Norway,which had a tradition of government-supported liberal feminism dating back to the 1880s,and is often used when discussing the government-supported gender equality policies of the Nordic countries,that are linked to the Nordic model. The term has also been used in the context of developing countries where the government may prescribe its form of feminism and at the same time prohibit non-governmental organizations from advocating for any other feminist program. In this sense it is possible to distinguish between a liberal state feminism found in Western democracies such as the Nordic countries,and a somewhat more authoritarian state feminism that is often also linked to secularism,found e.g. in certain Middle Eastern countries.
