| Title | The politics of teenage pregnancy problem representation. Comparative analysis of the Mexican National Strategy for Teenage Pregnancy Prevention (2015-2021) |
| Summary | My thesis studies teenage pregnancy problem representation in the Estrategia Nacional para la Prevención del Embarazo en Adolescentes, National Strategy on Teenage Pregnancy Prevention, ENAPEA) 2015 and 2021. I argue that representations and social meanings depend on which actors influence the discourses to use. I then analyze how those discourses shape the actual problem definition of both the ENAPEA 2015 and ENAPEA 2021, analyzing the continuity of the policy problem while also reflecting on the changes, showing that problems are neither neutral nor stable, and they are in constant flux. Using Feminist Critical Policy Analysis, I show the discourse surrounding teenage pregnancy prevention. I study the problem representation using the “What is the problem Represented to be”, the Role of Ideas and the Critical Discourse Analysis tools. |
