This book explores environmental policymaking in Mexico as a vehicle to understanding the broader changes in the policy process within a system undergoing a democratic transformation. It constitutes the first major analysis of environmental policymaking in Mexico at the national level, and examines the implementation of forestry policy in Mexico's largest rain forest, the Selva Lacandona of the state of Chiapas.

This pioneering collection offers a comprehensive investigation into how to study public policy in Latin America. While this region exhibits many similarities with the North American and European countries that have traditionally served as sources for generating public policy knowledge, Latin American countries are also different in many fundamental ways. As such, existing policy concepts and frameworks may not always be the most effective tools of analysis for this unique region.To fill this gap, Comparative Public Policy in Latin America offers guidelines for refining current theories to suit Latin America’s contemporary institutional and socio-economic realities. The contributors accomplish this task by identifying the features of the region that shape public policy, including informal norms and practices, social inequality, and weak institutions. This book promises to become the definitive work on contemporary public policy in Latin America, essential for those who study the area as well as comparative public policy more broadly.

Latin America has traditionally imposed the strictest limits on legal abortion in the democratic world, but over the last twenty years, constitutional courts across the region have issued important rulings on its regulation. In The Judicial Politics of Abortion in Latin America, Jordi Díez analyzes four landmark cases in Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Based on research in all four countries, including interviews with high court justices and law clerks, Díez argues that the decisions' variance is explained by two main factors: justices' and law clerks' ability to assemble legal majorities in favour of reducing abortion restrictions, and each country’s unique political landscape. As debates about a woman’s right to choose unfold around the world, Díez offers important and timely lessons from Latin America.

En La política del matrimonio homosexual en América Latina. Argentina, Chile y México, Jordi Díez toma como punto de partida la disparidad de resultados que obtuvieron los movimientos homosexuales por la lucha de la aceptación legal del "matrimonio gay" en Argentina, Chile y México, para exponer una teoría—basada en el resultado de las entrevistas y muestreos que realizó en dichos países—que propone que los movimientos sociales, tales como la lucha por la legalización del matrimonio homosexual, se ven legitimados e incluso apoyados por las instancias legales cuando tienen suficiente fuerza y apoyo. En el caso de las manifestaciones gais y lesbianas, por ejemplo, es sorprendente el papel que tuvo el apoyo por medio de las redes sociales.
