The Lesbian and Gay Movement and the State

By analyzing the relationship between lesbian and gay movements and the state, this ground-breaking book addresses two interconnected issues: to what extent is the lesbian and gay movement influenced by the state and whether the lesbian and gay movement has somehow influenced the state, for instance by altering forms of sexual regulation. This book also provides important and innovative insights into broader issues in international political science, public policy and comparative politics, as well as issues in social movement studies.
