Routledge Development, Sexual Rights and Global Governance Book

Explore the complex relationship between global governance and personal identity with this academic volume from Routledge. Part of the RIPE Series in Global Political Economy, this book examines how development discourses and global institutions regulate sexual practices and identities. It challenges the idea that sexuality exists outside of economic modernization and anti-poverty programs. The text investigates how the global development industry shapes access to citizenship and livelihood struggles. It highlights the heterosexual bias found within macroeconomic frameworks and human rights development. This is an essential resource for students and researchers studying the intersection of political economy, sociology, and global power structures. Each chapter provides a deep look into how institutional policies impact the way people live and navigate their rights within the global landscape. This work is vital for understanding the modern political economy and the ways power is exercised through development initiatives.
