Activists, academics, trade unions, governments and NGOs around the
world are trying to both understand and address forced labour, human
trafficking, and modern slavery. The European Union has recently adopted
a new strategy, which will be overseen by the EU’s Anti-Trafficking
Coordinator. This new strategy has seen a wave of new initiatives
designed to combat these practices. However, the frequently poor track
record of past efforts in this area means that there is an urgent need
for both additional research and further conversations regarding the
best pathways forward. With labour exploitation and inequality on the
rise, and debates over migration intensifying, high-level policy debates
regarding forced labour, trafficking, and slavery can be expected to
continue for the foreseeable future.

Beyond Trafficking and Slavery seeks to constructively influence these
debates by bringing together the best available research, and by both
formulating and evaluating the merits of competing proposals for reform.
In addition, we also aim to inform a new wave of scholars,
policy-makers, and practitioners who are currently making their way
through school systems and universities around the world. Our approach
combines the rigour of academic scholarship, the clarity of journalism,
and the immediacy of political advocacy in order to address the
political, economic, and social root causes of exploitation,
vulnerability, and forced labour around the world.

With the BTS Short Course, we have re-edited our publications from the
past 18 months into the world’s first open access ‘e-syllabus’ on forced
labour, trafficking, and slavery. With 167 contributions from 150 top
academics and practitioners, this 900-page, eight-volume set is packed
with insights from the some of the best and most progressive scholarship
and activism currently available. We have made this free for download,
as well as print and classroom ready, with the goal of reaching not only
practitioners and students in the global north, but to also reach
readers working in organisations and institutions unable to pay for
expensive academic journal and subscription services.

1. Popular and Political Representations    5. Migration and Mobility
2. Forced Labour in the Global Economy    6. Race, Ethnicity and Belonging
3. State and the Law    7. Childhood and Youth
4. On History    8. Gender
