Development, Sexual Rights and Global Governance This book addresses how sexual practices and identities are imagined and regulated through development discourses and within institutions of global governance. The underlying premise of this volume is that the global development industry plays a central role in constructing people’s sexual lives, access to citizenship, and struggles for livelihood. Despite the industry’s persistent insistence on viewing sex- uality as basically outside the realm of economic modernization and anti-poverty programs, this volume brings to the fore heterosexual bias within macroeconomic and human rights development frameworks. The work fills an important gap in understanding how people’s intimate lives are governed through heteronormative policies which typically assume that the family is based on blood or property ties rather than on alternative forms of kinship. By placing heteronormativity at the center of analysis, this anthology thus provides a much-needed discussion about the development industry’s role in pathologizing sexual deviance yet also, more recently, in helping make visible a sexual rights agenda. Providing insights valuable to a range of disciplines, this book will be of particu- lar interest to students and scholars of Development Studies, Gender Studies, and International Relations. It will also be highly relevant to development practitioners and international human rights advocates.

This series, published in association with the Review of International Political Economy, provides a forum for current and interdisciplinary debates on interna- tional political economy. The series aims to advance understanding of the key issues in the global political economy, and to present innovative analyses of emerg- ing topics. The titles in the series focus on three broad themes: • the structures, processes and actors of contemporary global transformations • the changing forms taken by governance, at scales from the local and everyday to the global and systemic • the inseparability of economic from political, social and cultural questions, including resistance, dissent and social movements.
