“Carl F. Stychin's 'Governing Sexuality' is of enormous interest because it both illustrates a distinguished form of queer legal theory and brings it to bear on developments in Europe…Stychin's discussion of gays as transnational citizens is one of the best chapters in the book…He offers an excellent discussion of the potential 'disciplinary' effect of such measures on gay relationships…This discussion, and many others in this book, combines a strong sense of justice with a shrewd and skeptical eye for the vagaries of liberal political reform.” – David A.J.
