Set in different national contexts (Brazil, Bulgaria, France,
Germany, Laos, Norway, Thailand) and in different social science
disciplines, the chapters of this volume aim at questioning
anti-trafficking policies and their practical impact on sex work
regulation. Many actors, from media to researchers, from nonprofit
organizations to law enforcement agencies, from "experts" to
"reality tourists", contribute to produce knowledge on trafficking
and sexual exploitation and thus to institutionalize it as a
category of thought and action; by naming and framing perpetrators
and victims, they make trafficking "come true" as a public problem.
The book pays particular attention to the way the international
expertise produced by these different actors and institutions on
sexual exploitation and sex work impacts local control practices,
especially with regard to law enforcement. The fight against
trafficking as it gets institutionalized and put into practice then
appears as a way to reaffirm a gendered and racialized public
order. Building analytical bridges between different national
contexts and relying on contextualized fieldwork in different
countries, the book is of great interest for academics as well as
for practitioners and/or activists working on sex and gender issues
and migration policies. Also, it resonates with a broader
literature on the construction of public problems in sociology and
political science.
