Summary:

This collection of thirteen articles on gay and lesbian issues presents current comparative scholarship on the relationships between sexual minority rights movements and the state. The essays are divided by country and explore key strengths and weaknesses of particular governments and societies in dealing with gender and sexual orientation problems. Topics discussed include Belgium and the paradoxical strength of disunion, Austrian parties, federalism and the rights agenda, the depoliticization of homosexuality in the Netherlands, gay rights in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, and multi-institutional political and social movements in the United States. The contributors are academics in sociology and public policy from universities around the world. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
