Revisiting the Law and Governance of Trafficking, Forced Labor and Modern Slavery
 |
| Anteprima |
In
the decades following the globalization of the world economy,
trafficking, forced labor and modern slavery have emerged as significant
global problems. States negotiated the Palermo Protocol in 2000 under
which they agreed to criminalize trafficking, primarily understood as an
issue of serious organized crime. Sixteen years later, leading
academics, activists and policy makers from international organizations
come together in this edited volume and adopt an inter-disciplinary,
multi-stakeholder approach to revisit trafficking through the lens of
labor migration and extreme exploitation and, in the process, rethink
the law and governance of trafficking. This volume considers many key
factors, including the evolving international law on trafficking, the
relationship between trafficking, slavery, indenture and domestic
migration law and policy as well as newly emergent techniques of
governance, including indicators, all with a view to furthering
prospects for lasting economic justice in a globalized world.
