Cambridge University Press Cambridge Law and Governance of Trafficking and Forced Labor

Explore the complex legal landscapes of global exploitation with this academic volume from Cambridge University Press. As the world economy continues to globalize, issues like trafficking, forced labor, and modern slavery have become significant international challenges. This book examines the shift from viewing trafficking strictly as organized crime under the 2000 Palermo Protocol to understanding it through the lens of labor migration and extreme exploitation. This edited volume brings together leading academics, activists, and policy makers from international organizations. By adopting an inter-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder approach, the text provides a fresh perspective on how law and governance can address these systemic problems. It is an essential resource for those studying international law, human rights, and the sociological impacts of global labor trends. Whether you are a researcher, student, or policy professional, this work offers a deep look into the evolving legal frameworks meant to combat modern slavery in a globalized world.
