TITLE:

Abortion at the Center of the Global South: Comparing the Right to Abortion in the BRICS

KEY WORDS:

BRICS. Abortion. Comparative Constitutional Law. Global South.

PAGES: 212
BIG AREA: Ciências Sociais Aplicadas
AREA: Direito
SUMMARY:

The legal comparison among BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) countries is justified by the prominent role they play on the global stage, particularly in demographic and economic terms, as well as by the fact that they are nations with advanced legislation and, in some cases, incisive judicial decisions on abortion. Accordingly, this thesis addresses as its central problem the understanding of how BRICS countries approach abortion from both legal and jurisprudential perspectives. It argues that the BRICS alliance can serve as a catalytic instrument for promoting women’s fundamental rights, especially regarding the right to abortion, thereby contributing to new interpretative pathways and to the expansion of the empirical repertoire within the field of comparative constitutional law from a Global South perspective. The research is situated within the domain of comparative constitutional law, has a descriptive and empirical character, and is based on the small-N research technique, involving a limited number of cases, focusing on the analysis of decisions from constitutional courts and political bodies, with special attention to the Chinese context.
