Abstract

This chapter establishes that human trafficking is a contested concept—that its meaning is neither straightforward nor unproblematic, and that constructions of trafficking reflect constellations of competing interests and values. The chapter ties the poor quality of quantitative data on human trafficking to its conceptual fluidity and contentious politics, and then goes on to explain why there is no technical or apolitical solution to this problem. Next, it provides an overview of the book’s aims and arguments, and a justification for the US case. Finally, the chapter introduces its methodology, and concludes with a preview of the plan for the book.

The protocol supplements the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime, also known as the Palermo Convention after the Italian city in which it was signed. Within the anti-trafficking community, the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children may be referred to as the Palermo Protocol or the Trafficking Protocol. The Trafficking Protocol entered into force on December 25, 2003.

The words of Alisdair MacIntyre prove instructive:
Suppose someone proposed to operationalize such concepts as those of education or freedom by definitional legislation. … Any claim about its validity would be in conflict with other categorizations and since these, as we have already seen, involve normative claims, so would the aspiring scientific theory. To operationalize would be to participate in the debate, not to escape it. MacIntyre, 8.
