There is great interest internationally in the development of
prostitution policies in the Nordic countries after Sweden, Norway
and Iceland have introduced general bans against buying sex whilst
selling sex remains legal. In addition, there is a partial ban
against buying sex in Finland. This is a different approach from
that of several other European countries, where we have seen a
decriminalisation of third-party involvement in prostitution as
well as to that of the USA which criminalises both the buying and
selling of sexual services. Thus the Nordic countries are often
treated as representatives of a 'Nordic model' of prostitution
policies. In this book - the first on the subject - Skilbrei and
HolmstrAm argue that these models of policies or policy regimes
tend to ignore the trajectories, contexts and consequences of the
full range of approaches to prostitution, thus they are too
simplistic and static. Prostitution policies in the Nordic
countries are multifaceted and dynamic, and cannot be represented
as following a straight path and detached from empirical contexts.
Their analysis treats Nordic prostitution policies both as a
product of history, of current national and Nordic debates, and of
international obligations and changes in the international and
national prostitution markets. Furthermore they argue that a broad
understanding of the relevant context is necessary so as to place
Nordic prostitution policies within broader policy concerns related
to gender, class, ethnicity, sexuality, social welfare, immigration
and organised crime, as well as to neoliberal forms of governance.
