This book provides an in-depth analysis of the influence of public
policy on sex selection. Three Asian countries were chosen for the
comparative policy analysis, namely South Korea, India and Vietnam
that share in common a historical legacy of son preference, high
levels of sex imbalances and active policy response to curbing the
growing demographic masculinization of their nations. The research
based on the data collected from field work in the three countries
shows that despite the adoption of very similar anti-sex selection
policies the outcomes have been markedly different for each of the
three countries. These unexpected diverse outcomes are explained
partly by their different historical and cultural contexts, and
partly to the different social, political and economic institutions
and dynamics. This monograph offers careful and detailed
explanations of both within and across country diversities in
policy outcomes, pointing to the importance and the limits of
cross-national policy learning and adoption, and raising questions
about the efficacy of international organizations' current
approaches to global policy and knowledge transfer.
