      abstract = {This book offers a well-investigated and accessible  picture of the current situation around the politics of  LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) rights and  activism in Central Europe and the Western Balkans in the  context of the enlargement of the European Union (EU). It  provides not only thoughtful reflections on the topic but  also a wealth of new empirical findings -- arising from  legal and policy analysis, large-scale sociological  investigations and country case studies. Theoretical  concepts come from institutional analysis, the study of  social movements, law, and Europeanization literature. The  authors discuss emerging Europe-wide activism for LGBT  rights and analyze issues such as the tendency of  nationalist movements to turn 'sexual others' into  'national others,' the actions and rhetoric of church  actors as powerful counter-mobilizers against LGBT rights,  and the role of the domestic state on the receiving end of  EU pressure in the field of fundamental rights. .},
