This book offers a unique insight into the moral politics behind
the making of human trafficking policy in Australia and the United
States of America. As governments around the world rush to meet
their international obligations to combat human trafficking, a
heated debate has emerged over the rights, wrongs, and harms of
prostitution, and its relationship to sex trafficking. The Politics
of Sex Trafficking identifies and challenges intrinsic notions of
moral harm that have pervaded trafficking discourse and resulted in
a distinctly anti-prostitution agenda in trafficking policy in
recent decades. Including rare interviews with key political
actors, this book charts the competing perspectives of feminist,
faith-based, and sex-worker activists, and their efforts to
influence policy-makers. This critical account of the creation of
anti-trafficking policy challenges the sex trafficking narrative
dominant in US Congressional and Australian Parliamentary hearings,
and demonstrates the power of a moral politics in shaping
policy.This book will appeal to academics across the fields of
criminology, criminal justice, law, human rights and gender
studies, as well as policy-makers.
This volume develops new theoretical and methodological approaches
to the archaeology of households pursuing three critical themes:
household diversity in human residential communities with and
without archaeologically identifiable houses, interactions within
and between households that explicitly considers impacts of kin and
non-kin relationships and lastly change as a process that involves
the choices made by members of households in the context of larger
societal constraints. Authors explore the role of social ties and
their material manifestations how the household relates to other
social units, how households consolidate power and control over
resources, and how these changes manifest at multiple scales. The
case studies presented in this volume have broader implications for
understanding the drivers of change, the ways households create the
contexts for change, and how households serve as spaces for
invention, reaction, and/or resistance.

This volume represents the collected papers presented at the Third
Triennial Symposium of the International Basal Ganglia society
(IBAGS) held at Capo Boi, Italy, June 10-13, 1989. About 300
members of the society and participants attended the symposium
which was held in a delightful environment conducive to the formal
and informal exchange of scientific thought. The interdisciplinary
nature of the symposium was unique in its coverage of the
neurosciences from molecular biology to clinical and behavioural
studies. The 80 papers collected here reflect the wide spectrum and
the depth of studies on virtually all aspects of the basal ganglia.
Unfortunately, this book does not capture the cordial and congenial
atmosphere which has characterized this, and all prior symposia of
the Society. Any cooperative endeavour of this kind requires a
tremendous effort and dedication, usually by a small number of
individuals. The Society is especially pleased to acknowledge the
support and encouragement of the "Italian Ministry of university
and Scientific Research" and the "Italian National. Research
Council". In addition the society received financial support from
numerous Foundations and corporations, which are listed separately
under acknowledgements. Finally the Editors are pleased that Plenum
Press, which has published the two previous symposia, has accepted
this program for publication. It is our hope that vast scientific
efforts reflected in these pages will be widely disseminated and
further encourage every kind of research related to the basal
ganglia.
This volume was generated from papers presented at the Second
Triennial Symposium of the International Basal Ganglia Society
(IBAGS) held at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, July
21-23, 1986. The meeting was held as a satellite symposium
following the XXX Congress of the International Union of
Physiological Sciences at Vancouver. IBAGS was founded at a similar
satellite symposium held in Lorne, Australia, organized by John S.
McKenzie and sponsored by the University of Melbourne. The
symposium held in Australia was attended by 50 scientists from 12
different countries. The results of the first symposium, edited by
John S. McKenzie, Robert E. Kemm and Lynette N. Wilcock, were
published by Plenum Press in 1984 under the title, The Basal
Ganglia - Structure and Function. It was decided that the Society
should meet on a triennial basis. The time and place for Second
IBAGS Symposium were set by A.G. Phillips who served as Chairman of
the Program Committee along with I. Divac, S.A. Greenfield and E.T.
Rolls and J.S. McKenzie. Michael E. Corcoran of the Department of
Psychology, University of Victoria served as the on-site
coordinator and arranger for the Symposium. He was ably assisted by
Ms. Morag McNeil who handled the details which made the meeting run
smoothly.
