This book is part of a two-volume set that examines prostitution
and sex trafficking on a global scale, with each chapter devoted to
a particular country in one of seven geo-cultural areas of the
world. The 16 chapters in this volume (Volume II) are devoted to
examination of the commercial sex industry (CSI) in countries
within Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Oceania, while the 18
chapters comprising Volume I focus exclusively on Europe, Latin
America, and North America. This volume also includes a "global"
section, which includes chapters that are globally relevant -
rather than those devoted to a particular country or geographic
location. The content of each Volume, as well as each chapter,
reflects great diversity - diversity in focus, writing style, and
personal position regarding the commercial sex industry. Diversity
extends to the contributors, who are comprised of international
scholars, service providers, and policy advocates representing a
variety of fields and disciplines, with distinct and varied frames
of reference and theoretical underpinnings with regard to the
commercial sex industry. In addition to addressing aspects of the
CSI across the globe, as impacted by geography and culture, authors
have also provided a spectrum of implications of their work -
implications ranging from continued scholarship and research, to
legislative maneuvers and policy change, to suggestions for
collaboration across NGOS, fieldworkers, clinicians, and service
providers. Together, the 34 expertly-crafted chapters provide a
wealth of knowledge from which to more deeply appreciate and
contemplate the global commercial sex industry. By uniting
contributors from around the world, this book aims to build a
relatively common knowledge base on global prostitution and sex
trafficking.

Trafficking of persons (mostly women and children) for commercial
sexual activities and forced labor is one of the fastest growing
areas of international crime. The United Nations estimates that 4
million men, women, and children become victims of international
trafficking each year. Trafficking & the Global Sex Industry
focuses on the international trafficking of women and children for
forced labor and prostitution. This remarkable anthology takes a
broad geographical and economical perspective while also dealing
with the specificities of the socio-political background, poverty,
opportunity structure, legal conditions, the role of the state,
gender structure, and the organization of the trafficking business.
The essays create a link from country to country, demonstrating the
worldwide nature of the problem. Expertly written and well
researched, this collection gives the reader a clearer
understanding of the problem and the actions being taken to combat
it. Trafficking & the Global Sex Industry will have a broad
market for readers on a national and international level,
especially among those interested in political science, women's
studies, international relations, and criminology.
