Abstract
Even though they have never been among the most studied policy issues, two strands of literature on morality issues do exist. One is a long-standing tradition of studying morality issues and morality politics in a US context (e.g. Meier 1994; Mooney 2001a; Tatalovich and Daynes 2011). The other strand is a comparative literature, which has only been emerging during the past few years, with a strong focus on explaining cross-national variation in policy choices on morality issues (e.g. Bleiklie et al. 2003; Monpetit et al. 2007; Fink 2008; Engeli 2009; Schiffino et al. 2009; Banchoff 2011). The findings of these two strands, especially on the politics of morality issues, provide the context for developing the theoretical framework of this book, including the idea of ‘the two worlds of morality politics’.
