Description:	Developing Partnerships aims to seize hold of that space of disjuncture. It insists on the political and intellectual value of a debate about sex, money, and the Bank, but it seeks to reframe that debate— to move it away from sex scandal to look at the sexual nature of Bank gender policy more generally, and at the sexualized politics of the Bank as a global governing body. Generally, it argues that gender and sexuality matter to international development and that international financial institutions (IFIs) are key players in the global restructuring of gender norms and intimacies. Specifically, it examines the efforts of Bank staff and their allies to create new models of loving partnership between men and women as part of a reformulated development approach. It suggests that complementary love within sharing couples is a central—but currently undertheorized—part of the Bank’s push to embed markets in more sustainable ways, and it tries to ascertain what that might mean for feminist policymakers, sexuality scholars, and those interested in development.
