    Purpose Japan has made some progress in recognizing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) rights, such as passing laws that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in some cities.

On the basis of archival and interview data, this article identifi…

This article transcends that dichotomy by tracing one social movement organization's tactical pursuit of institutionalization, examining the process through which institutionalization occurred, and evaluating its effects. This case study, based on qualitative, archival data, traces the institu…

    This ‘Authors Meet Critics’ symposium focuses on two books edited by Jan Willem Duyvendak and James M.
