How European scholars have taken up the idea of intersectionality reflects a somewhat different set of concerns than those of the US scholars who developed the concept. But the now transnational concept of intersectionality is important as a framework for identifying the cooperation and competition potentials in feminist politics, especially when it is understood in terms more of process than location. I distinguish these two types of intersectional analysis from each other and then explore the process model's ways of identifying both alliances and competitive frames for inequality that each opens for feminist work, Using examples drawn from my research on Germany and the EU.
