Anna Bara (EUI) will also give a guest lecture on December 4 (13.00-15.00) on “Faces of Forced Migration: governmental responses to human trafficking in post-conflict zones”. A short summary of her lecture is copied and pasted below this message.
All best,
Élise Féron
Brief outline of Anna Bara’s lecture:
Human trafficking has long since represented one of the most problematic forms of forced migration. Particularly notable in the post-Soviet context has been the concerted influx of male and female labour migrants trafficked into various countries from the zones of conflict. Efforts to combat this phenomenon have traditionally been the preserve of individual state governments. The objective of the lecture is to examine key policy dilemmas related to human trafficking in Eastern Partnership countries and Russia that followed as a result of experienced inter and intra state conflicts.
Practice is when it works but we don’t know why.
Theory is when we understand but it doesn’t work.
Often Theory and Practice converge:
Nothing works, and we can’t explain it.
