Politics and Policing Sex Trafficking in Southeast Europe

Abstract

The preceding chapter has approached the emergence of the new anti-trafficking regime from a historical viewpoint and at a global level. These analyses provide the general context of the Mirage Operations as a particular event. This chapter takes a different vantage point to explore how this layer of relations has entered into developments at the regional level of Southeast Europe. Among wider social and political processes, the concrete organisational arrangements of the Southeast European Cooperative Initiative (SECI) Centre are also found at this level.
