Although they share similar socio-economic and cultural
characteristics as well as their recent political histories,
Argentina, Chile and Uruguay differ radically in their abortion
policies. In this book, Cora Fernandez Anderson examines the role
social movements play in abortion reform to show how different
interaction patterns with state actors have led to three different
policy outcomes: comprehensive abortion reform in Uruguay; moderate
abortion reform in Chile; and no legal abortion reform in
Argentina. Synthesizing a broad range of literature and drawing on
in-depth field and archival research, she analyzes the strength of
the campaigns for abortion reform, their relationships with leftist
parties in power and the context of Church-state relations to
explain this diverging trajectory in policy reform. A masterly
analysis of how social movements, the power of institutions and
Executive preferences have strong explanatory power, Fighting for
Abortion Rights in Latin America is a perfect supplement for
classes on gender and global politics.
