What are the relations between homosexuality, globalization and social theory? Why has the debate on globalization paid so little attention to questions of sexuality? This timely and stimulating book aims to provide answers to these questions by exploring the relationships between the national state, globalization and sexual dissidence. The Globalization of Sexuality focuses on several key test issues to exploit and develop analysis: queer mobility; migration and tourism; the economics of queer globalization; queer politics of post-colonialism; the spatial politics of AIDS; queer cosmopolitanism; nationhood and sexual citizenship. This stimulating work regains an important human dimension that has been conspicuously neglected in the wider debate on globalization.
