Description

Marriage serves as a major site of political conflict in the modern era. In the UK, Australia, and the US, a clash of values persists between neoliberal governments and diverse interest groups. As marriage rates decline and alternative family forms gain acceptance, understanding the disconnect between social reality and government policy becomes essential. This book examines how marriage intersects with critical social issues, including class divides, ethnicity, religion, and gender relations. It investigates the complexities of same-sex marriage and changing romantic expectations within contemporary society. By utilizing a top-down approach, the text explores how different governments respond to these shifts in the social landscape. Part of the Routledge Studies in Governance and Public Policy series, this work provides a deep look into how policy responses shape the institution of marriage across three different nations. It is an essential resource for those studying the sociological and political dimensions of family and governance.
