- Summary:
- In this follow-up volume to Same-Sex Marriage in the Americas: Policy Innovation for Same-Sex Relationships (2010), the editors shed light on regional-, national-, and individual-level factors that have led to major developments for same-sex relationship equality in Latin America and explore institutional, political, and social barriers for same-sex couples in the region. Beginning with general aspects of same-sex rights and policies in the Americas, the chapters provide an in-depth analysis of public opinion regarding same-sex marriage, diffusion, of policy innovations for same sex couples, judicialization of LGBT rights, and the role of the left in support of same-sex rights in Latin America. In the second half, they examine country cases regarding same-sex policies in Latin America and include separate chapters on Central America, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay. Overall, this research is innovative and unique because it covers the understudied policies of same-sex relationships in Latin America, despite its recent major developments, and includes both regional-and national-level analyses to explain such developments.
