DESCRIPTION:Moira Faul and Jordan Tchilingirian\, Université de Genève \n
 \nMulti-stakeholder partnerships and the structuring of spaces between f
 ields \n\nMulti- stakeholder partnerships were given new impetus in ‘Age
 nda 2030’ which requires ‘bringing together Governments\, civil society\
 , the private sector\, the United Nations system and other actors’ (UN: 
 General Assembly\, 2015). Much existing literature treats partnerships a
 s either normatively appropriate or instrumentally useful organisational
  models. Rather than conceptualising partnerships as a stable model in w
 hich differently-located partners may engage\, the authors use Eyal's (2
 011) theorisation of ‘spaces between fields’ which are co-constructed by
  partners. \n\nTo examine these emerging spaces as they institutionalise
 \, it is vital to examine partnering processes as connecting diverse par
 tners from established fields. Partnership Boards are at the sharp end o
 f partnering activities\, bringing together partners representing divers
 e logics\, professional expertise\, and values. Therefore\, the authors 
 used network analysis (specifically\, the Interlocking Directorates appr
 oach) to investigate the relationships among partners across several glo
 bal financing partnerships for the Sustainable Development Goals (includ
 ing agriculture\, climate change\, education\, health\, and water). \n\n
 This analysis revealed that Board members from donors (state\, private a
 nd multilateral) were more connected within the partnership space than o
 ther stakeholders. This would indicate the importance of historical rela
 tions of power and the privileging of certain types of expertise and kno
 wledge in the emerging institutionalisation of partnerships. This articl
 e contributes an innovative theoretical framing to studies of partnershi
 ps and extends the insights of Eyal’s approach. By focussing on the actu
 al relationships that sustain and structure spaces between fields\, the 
 authors demonstrate how initial conditions and power disparities in cons
 tituent fields are translated and imprinted into emergent liminal spaces
