## Description

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.

Review: Must read on the subject - I actually got interested in this topic after watching a film on my local PBS; it was part of POV. Shelley gives an overview of human trafficking, looking at the causes behind it, how it works, and the differences in the regions of the world. The book is in depth with its analysis and Shelley has clearly thought about her subject. It is a work of scholarship. In other words, while some of the stories are really, really, really distrubing, the tone is more analytical. In part this is necessary because of the absolute disgustness of some of the stories, and it is when she is discussing the stories that Shelley is at her most emotional. What Shelley does is she also places it in the context of different rules and regulations. So despite the fact that the Netherlands has legalized brothels, Rotterdam is a trafficking hub and sex slaves are still heavily trafficked there. Yet, Sweden has similar problems. In many ways, it makes one realize the immigration issues have to be solved in a way that no one is talking about, except those like Shelley who are intelligent people with good causes.
Review: Well-written and informative. - Seeking to become more knowledgeable about the issue in my neighborhood, I purchased this book as a topical primer. I was quite surprised to find that Ms. Shelley had me fully engaged from the very beginning. She writes academically, but very clearly, conveying the vastness and urgency of this issue. Thank you, Ms. Shelley, and others like you for your work on educating and combating this major crime.
