  • Descrição: The topic of abortion has been among the most salient and polarizing issues on the European continent since the 1960s. However, abortion referendums have not received much attention from political scientists—to date, there is no comparative analysis of such popular votes. This article goes beyond the usual models of single case/country analyses and examines nationwide referendums on this policy in four European countries from the last four decades. The analysis focuses on twelve referendums and aims to identify the factors behind the pro‐choice or pro‐life outcome of a referendum by exploring the impact of relative consensus within the parliament, support of the head of government and medical experts, and the level of secularization of the country. The findings suggest that these factors have a substantial influence on the outcome. Related Articles Carmines, Edward G., Jessica C. Gerrity, and Michael W.

El tema del aborto ha sido uno de los temas más destacados y polarizadores en el continente europeo desde la década de 1960. Sin embargo, los referéndums sobre el aborto no han recibido mucha atención por parte de los politólogos; hasta la fecha, no existe un análisis comparativo de esos votos populares. Este artículo va más allá de los modelos habituales de análisis de caso único / país y examina los referendos nacionales sobre esta política en cuatro países europeos durante las últimas cuatro décadas. El análisis se centra en doce referendos y tiene como objetivo identificar los factores detrás del resultado pro‐elección o pro‐vida de un referéndum explorando el impacto del consenso relativo dentro del parlamento, el apoyo del jefe de gobierno y los expertos médicos, y el nivel de secularización del país. Los hallazgos sugieren que estos factores tienen una influencia sustancial en el resultado. 堕胎公投:成功有方法吗? 摘要:自20世纪60年代起,堕胎这一主题就一直是欧洲大陆最突出和极化的议题之一。然而,堕胎公投还未获得政治科学家足够的关注—迄今为止,还没有关于这类公民投票的比较分析。本文不局限于一般的单一案例/国家分析模式,分析了过去40年里4个欧洲国家中关于该政策的全民公投。分析聚焦于12次公投,并通过探究议会中相对共识的影响、政府首脑及医疗专家的支持、以及该国的世俗化程度,进而识别公投的结果(支持选择或支持生命)背后的因素。分析结果暗示,这些因素对结果产生了实质性影响。
