Overview

This volume examines the evolution of reproductive law in Italy from the far west of the 1980s and 90s through to one of the most potentially restrictive systems in Europe.

Methodology

The book employs an array of sociological, philosophical and legal material in order to discover why such a repressive piece of legislation has been produced at the end of a period of substantial change in the dynamic of gender relations in Italy.

Policy Discussion

The book also discusses Italian policy within the wider European policy framework.
