Global Perspectives on Same-Sex Marriage

Examines not simply the process of legalization (or not) of same-sex marriage, but also the institutionalization of same-sex marriage (or same-sex marriage bans) in national politics and society

Provides a transnational perspective across all major world regions where the issue has been debated, with each chapter providing a comparative analysis of two to four countries

Considers the tensions between global factors and national/regional factors in determining outcomes and discursive framings
