The Effectiveness of Discursive Frames Deployed by Latin America’s Right-wing Populists
Over the last 20 years, many countries have experienced the rise of radical right-wing populist (RRP) actors that threaten democratic governance, including in Latin America. These actors have deployed a variety of discursive frames based on economic grievances and (perceived) changing social values. The 2018 elections in Costa Rica were part of this phenomenon: a right-wing populist outsider presidential candidate deployed several frames and earn…
The Decriminalization of Abortion in Latin America
Latin America historically has had some of the strictest abortion laws in the world, making unsafe procedures a main cause of mortality among women and girls. However, in the context of the Green Wave, three countries recently have amply decriminalized access to abortion: Mexico (2021, 2023), Colombia (2022), and Argentina (2020) (Uruguay did so in 2012). The recent wave of decriminalization is the culmination of larger, historical processes that…
LGBTQ Politics in Nicaragua
New Media and Support for Same-Sex Marriage
Research in advanced industrialized democracies on social attitudes toward same-sex marriage suggests that intergroup social contact and positive media coverage play an important role in promoting tolerance and support for same-sex marriage. Using AmericasBarometer survey data for eighteen countries in 2010, 2012, and 2014, this article examines the ways in which individual-level Internet use interacts with news exposure, country-level quality of…
La judiciarisation de l’avortement en Amérique latine et les limites de la citoyenneté
Le phénomène de judiciarisation de la politique en Amérique latine s’est notamment traduit par un essor de l’autonomie de plusieurs Cours suprêmes ou constitutionnelles, une indépendance qui leur a permis d’entrer pleinement dans les débats actuels relatifs aux droits reproductifs. Cet article présente une analyse de ce phénomène, en se focalisant sur quatre décisions relatives à l’avortement, rendues par ces hautes instances juridiques, en Argen…
Social contact with same-sex married couples and support for marriage equality
Personal interaction with lesbians and gays is associated with greater support for lesbian and gay rights, but the effects of contact with married same-sex couples have not been studied. Using original data from Argentina in 2015, we address this gap by measuring the association between direct contact with married gays and lesbians and attitudes toward Same-Sex Marriage (SSM), while controlling for alternative explanations of the association. We …
Out in the Periphery
Latin American gays and lesbians have mobilized for the expansion of rights for half a century. The region’s first organization, Argentina’s Nuestro Mundo (Our World), was formed in 1967, two years prior to New York’s Stonewall riots, the mythical birthplace of the gay rights movement in the United States. Yet political science attention to such mobilization was scant until very recently. Attention has increased significantly over the last decade…
Democratic Values, Religiosity, and Support for Same-Sex Marriage in Latin America
Latin America has been at the forefront of the expansion of rights for same-sex couples. Proponents of same-sex marriage frame the issue as related to human rights and democratic deepening; opponents emphasize morality tied to religious values. Elite framing shapes public opinion when frames resonate with individuals' values and the frame source is deemed credible. Using surveys in 18 Latin American countries in 2010 and 2012, this article demons…
Argentina
This chapter provides a brief overview of Argentina&s;s Lesbian and Gay (LG) movement. It examines the relationship between the movement and the state and analyses the impact the latter has had on the former in three areas: federalism, the judicialization of politics, and alliances between state and non-state actors. These dramatic events represented the beginning of important victories in the struggle waged by Argentina&s;s Lesbian and Gay (LG) …
Lesbian and Gay Activism in Latin America
The Politics of Gay Marriage in Latin America
Addressing one of the defining social issues of our time, The Politics of Gay Marriage in Latin America explores how and why Latin America, a culturally Catholic and historically conservative region, has become a leader among nations of the Global South, and even the Global North, in the passage of gay marriage legislation. In the first comparative study of its kind, Jordi Díez explains cross-national variation in the enactment of gay marriage in…

A obra busca compreender a complexidade do fenômeno e propõe estrat…
Explaining Policy Outcomes
Over the past decade, several Latin American jurisdictions have extended rights to sexual minorities. Yet political science attention to this development has been scant, and scholars know little about the factors that have led to these unprecedented policy changes. This article fills this gap and explains policy outcomes in a notoriously understudied policy area by comparing the two jurisdictions in Latin America that were the first to adopt same…

The Importance of Policy Frames in Contentious Politics
Despite the fact that the election of Vicente Fox to the presidency of Mexico in 2000 saw the arrival of the most socially conservative administration in contemporary Mexican politics, his government launched the country's first nationwide antihomophobia campaign in early 2005. This article attempts to solve this seeming policy puzzle by presenting empirical research evidence that suggests that the formulation and implementation of this policy wa…
Greening Brazil
The Rise and Fall of Mexico’s Green Movement
An important component of the process of political change Mexico has undergone over the last two decades has been mass mobilization of society, as numerous sectors have pulled out of corporatist structures and placed demands directly upon the state. It is within this ‘thickening’ of civil society that Mexico’s environmental movement emerged, strengthened and was ultimately able to achieve numerous policy triumphs during the 1990s. Puzzlingly, how…
Legislative Oversight of the Armed Forces in Mexico
During the hegemonic rule of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (Institutional Revolutionary Party) (PRI), civil-military relations in Mexico were characterized by an implicit “pact” between civilian authorities and the armed forces, a pact that resulted in little civilian oversight and high levels of military autonomy. Despite Mexico's transition to democracy in 2000, the pact has been maintained, albeit somewhat altered. Because the respo…
