Paper doi abstract bibtex What happens when a gender requirement is introduced into a Norwegian innovation policy programme? We apply a critical theoretical and methodological approach using the concept of articulation to analyse how meanings of gender are constructed, and how power struggles are part of it. Taking a multilevel approach and using multiple data sources, we examine articulations at the national, regional, and project levels. We find that gender articulations are in line with hegemonic conceptualisations of gender as a variable and as a nonissue to innovation but also detect attempts to challenge the dominant understanding of gender. Demands 'from above' have an effect at all levels as the threat of negative reactions encourages a certain self-disciplining, but the demands do not ensure an integration of a gender perspective in the policy programme. We suggest that, when seeking to integrate gender perspectives in policy programmes, the rationale needs to be clear and understood at all programme levels.
