Governments are beginning to act, with countries including the US, Canada, and Brazil having recently launched national strategies to tackle human trafficking and modern slavery. The UK’s draft Modern Slavery Bill is currently before Parliament. Yet, such initiatives do little to address the political economic drivers of these forms of exploitation, nor do they offer adequate protection. This seminar will bring together academics, policy-makers, and civil society figures to discuss and debate the political economy of exploitation and protection in the 21st Century, including the role of governments, business, and international organizations.
