Louise Shelley

Human Trafficking

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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. This book examines all forms of human trafficking globally, revealing the operations of the trafficking business and the nature of the traffickers themselves. Using an historical and comparative perspective, it demonstrates that there are enormous variations in the business model of human trafficking in different regions of the world.

Autorenporträt

I live in Cardiff with my husband, but I am originally from the South Wales Valleys.¿ My writing started as an idea inspired by an actual event, which grew into a novel.¿ I have brought my love of the Valleys landscape into my writing, but I also aim to challenge my readers, so I would not describe my work as mainstream. ¿¿ I work as a Civil Servant.¿ I enjoy films, books, travel and walks in the country.¿ I have done voluntary work for an organisation providing food for the homeless in Cardiff.¿
