Human Trafficking: A Global Perspective
 |
| Anteprima |
This
book examines all forms of human trafficking globally, revealing the
operations of the trafficking business and the nature of the traffickers
themselves. Using a historical and comparative perspective, it
demonstrates that there is more than one business model of human
trafficking and that there are enormous variations in human trafficking
in different regions of the world. Drawing on a wide body of academic
research - actual prosecuted cases, diverse reports and field work and
interviews conducted by the author over the last sixteen years in Asia,
Latin America, Africa, Europe and the former socialist countries -
Louise Shelley concludes that human trafficking will grow in the
twenty-first century as a result of economic and demographic
inequalities in the world, the rise of conflicts and possibly global
climate change. Coordinated efforts of government, civil society, the
business community, multilateral organizations and the media are needed
to stem its growth.
