englischMainstream legal circles essentially regard autonomy as gaining freedom from something; consequently, they view it as something negative. In contrast, gender research within the field of legal studies stresses the link between freedom and equality, and examines the real conditions in which equality of freedom can be implemented, which clearly reveals that legal regulation is often caught between emancipation and paternalism.

This book approaches this issue from both an interdisciplinary and an intra-disciplinary perspective by interweaving philosophical, sociological and political points of view with legal discourse in not only its analysis of basic terms and concepts, but also the way it addresses the question of autonomy and privacy, and that of autonomy in a democracy. The book analyses three particularly controversial topics in depth: procreation and surrogate motherhood, prostitution and pornography, and migration and solidarity.
