In the post-Cold War era, economic globalization has resulted in the buying and selling of human beings. Poverty, social instability, lawlessness, gender biases, and ethnic hostility have entrapped millions in the world of modern day slavery, with the result that human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world. Every year, men, women, and children from across the globe are transported within or across borders for the purpose of forced labor and sexual exploitation. Despite the plethora of journalistic articles written on human trafficking there is a need for more rigorous academic analysis of the phenomenon. Although groups from many different ideologies have embraced policies to end human trafficking, there are still many gaps and unanswered questions, particularly with regard to the amount of, and nature of, the phenomenon. This book provides an insight into the complexity of human trafficking by addressing both how the scope of globalization impacts the sex industry and forced labor, and how vulnerability is a growing cause of human trafficking, affecting traditional diasporic and migratory patterns.

Global Bodies in Grey Zones departs from the current globalised market in biological material and treatments. Three different forms of medical travel are in focus: transplant travel, fertility travel and stem cell travel. The global travelling includes legally organised cross-border care, as well as completely illegal activities involving trafficking in bodies and body parts implicating a range of people, technologies and treatments. The theoretical focus is grey zones - various places where people, money, bodies, and so on constitute components in an international market. The authors are researchers from the cultural, social and medical sciences. They examine how people's desperation, hopes and longing for health and reproduction fuel these medical travels.

This evolution is the result of an increasing number of legally binding instruments adopted in the framework of the third pillar of the European Union and of their growing impact on national legal systems.

Mit der vorliegenden, vom Bundesministerium der Justiz und für Verbraucherschutz in Auftrag gegebenen Studie wurden die im Jahr 2016 reformierten strafrechtlichen Vorschriften über die Bekämpfung des Menschenhandels (§§ 232 bis 233a StGB) einer kritischen Prüfung unterzogen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden unter anderem eine Aktenanalyse, zahlreiche Interviews mit Expert:innen und ein Workshop durchgeführt. Das Ergebnis der Forschung ist ernüchternd: Die vom Gesetzgeber mit der Reform verfolgten Ziele wurden zum Großteil nicht erreicht. Die Autor:innen schlagen daher mehrere Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Bekämpfung des Menschenhandels vor.
