Brief outline of Anna Bara’s lecture:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Practice is when it works but we don’t know why.
\nTheory is when we understand but it doesn’t work.
\nOften Theory and Practice converge:
\nNothing works, and we can’t explain it.<\/p>\n
