This book examines all forms of human trafficking globally, revealing the operations of the trafficking business and the nature of the traffickers themselves. Using a historical and comparative perspective, it demonstrates that there is more than one business model of human trafficking and its enormous variations in different regions of the world. Drawing on a wide body of academic research – actual prosecuted cases, diverse reports and field work, and interviews conducted by the author over the last sixteen years in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Europe and the former socialist countries – Louise Shelley concludes that human trafficking will grow in the twentyfirst century as a result of economic and demographic inequalities in the world, the rise of conflicts and possibly global climate change.
