Abstract
Chapter 4 began an exploration of the ways in which the World Bank situates and rationalises gender in its neoliberal discourse. This chapter looks more closely at the ways in which the Bank not only privileges heterosexuality, but, in its (understated) exclusion of all other possibilities, embeds heterosexual behaviour as imperative to economic development.
