The Fight against Human Trafficking

This book provides a quantitative, cross-nationally comparative, longitudinal, and multilevel study of the drivers and spoilers of national governments' anti-trafficking measures. Both macro-level determinants of anti-trafficking enforcement and micro-level foundations of human trafficking are unfolded and explored. Large-N comparative research examines how characteristics of countries interact with people's attitudes towards violence to better understand what creates environments that are more or less supportive of governments' anti-trafficking efforts. The results presented in the book are highly relevant from the perspectives of global governance and human rights protection.

Provides large-N comparative research Examines how certain global factors contribute to the development of main global hindrances to anti-trafficking enforcement Discusses plausible explanations of what creates national environments that are more or less hostile to governments' anti-trafficking efforts
