| Summary: |
Human trafficking has become a global obsession of the international community in the past decade and the Balkans a key target in their anti-trafficking efforts. An expanding network of local non-governmental, state, and transnational actors are directly involved in every stage of the policy making process in the region. While transnational efforts have achieved some success to date, anti-trafficking initiatives have encountered a number of unintended consequences due to inherent conflicts between law enforcement and human rights approaches. The discussion will consider some of these effects and discuss policy recommendations that can assist in better coordinating national and transnational strategies to combat the human trafficking trade in the Balkans.
