| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This research explored the situation of trafficking particularly in Japan, Thailand and India. Focusing on these countries helps to understand the trends and patterns of the problem in Asia due to the fact that they are the largest providers and receivers of trafficked humans.
The main research result was published as a book chapter titled "Revisiting Gender-sensitive Human Security Issues and Human Trafficking in South Asia: The Cases of India and Bangladesh" in an edited volume. The key finding is although human trafficking has been traditionally approached from the perspective of criminalization,the root causes of human trafficking, particularly women trafficking, from India and Bangladesh,are related to these regions’ vast and intractable economic poverty of women, which, in turn, is related to the political economy of global capitalism.
Another research outcome is the paper titled "political Economy, Bio-power and Gender-sensitive Human Security in Asia: The Case of Human Trafficking in Japan and Thailand" (under review). The study of political economy has rarely addressed the issues of human security and gender. The paper argues that there exists country-specific gendered exploitation of bodies which causes human insecurity and that it could be better explained through the analysis of global political economy. It further argues that gender-sensitive human insecurity is reinforced through the bio-power exercised by neoliberal governmentality of the states and institutions that helps control and flourish the path of both sex and labor trafficking in Asia.
