This book examines the proliferation of policy making concerning
the recognition and protection of same-sex relationships in the
countries of North and South America, adding to the knowledge of
developments in the United States and Canada, but, mostly notable,
exploring more recent developments in Mexico, Central and South
America, and the Caribbean. While much work has been done on
developments in Europe and upper North America, this book attempts
to broaden the understanding of relationship equality policy
proliferation around the world and to add new insights regarding
the policies of sexuality in different national contexts. The book
discusses the several factors that have constrained and facilitated
policymaking in this area including legal systems, public opinion,
political culture, and, more particularly, the role of religion as
a key obstacle in the recognition of rights for same-sex couples.
The chapters also explore the role of institutional mechanisms,
political parties, NGOs, IGOs, and international norms as
significant factors for policy adoption This book explores policy
innovation for same-sex couples throughout the Americas and
includes same-sex marriage legislation, civil unions, and other new
developments for same-sex couples throughout the Americas at both
national and sub-national levels. This scholarship is innovative
because though much has been written regarding developments in
North America, there is very little work dealing with recent
developments in the rest of the Americas.
