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 sexuality 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 particular 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. The Open Access version of
