摘要

马耳他已成为世界上争取LGBTIQ权利的领先国家,同时也是世界上少数几个在任何情况下堕胎都是非法的地方之一。基于对拉丁美洲的研究,本文分析了为什么这个欧盟小国在许多方面变得社会自由,而堕胎仍然是禁忌,大多数人持反堕胎观点。首先,我们概述马耳他的政治制度,这是一种两党制,一党政府60年来对议会事务享有绝对控制,根据宪法,天主教会有义务教导什么是对什么是错。然后,我们分析问题网络、框架和时机是否提供了一个适当的框架来解释公共政策的这种差异,然后得出结论,马耳他改变其堕胎禁令的短期前景,特别是在将禁令纳入宪法的政治支持仍然存在的情况下。

Malta’s Political Conundrum: Europe’s Leading Country for LGBTIQ Rights and the Ban on Abortion
Abstract Malta has become the world’s leading country for LGBTIQ rights while also being one of the few places in the world where abortion remains illegal under any circumstance. Building on studies which focus on Latin America, this article analyses why this small EU country has become socially liberal in many aspects while abortion remains taboo with a majority of the population holding anti-abortion views. First, we outline the Maltese political system, a two-party system where single-party governments have enjoyed absolute control over parliamentary business for 60 years and where the Catholic Church is obliged, under the Constitution, to teach what is right and wrong. We then analyze whether issue networks, framing and timing provide an adequate framework within which to explain this difference in public policy before concluding on the short-term prospects of Malta changing its ban on abortion, especially as political support remains for the ban to be incorporated into the constitution.
