- Description
- Through three neo-institutionalist lenses—historical, sociological and discursive—contributors investigate two aspects of the processes of adoption or opposition of equal recognition of same-sex partnerships. First, the book discusses the way in which claims by LGBTIQ movements are being framed politically and brought to parliamentary politics. Then the contributors explore the ways in which same-sex marriage becomes institutionalized (or resisted) through legal and societal norms and practices. The book incorporates a broad range of perspectives, including scholarship on social movements, LGBTI rights, heterosexuality and social norms and gender and politics, illustrated by international case studies.
