The Dynamics of Securitisation and De-Securitisation in the European Union's Anti-Trafficking Policies: The Case of Trafficking in Women for Sexual Exploitation
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the triangular dynamics of securitisation and de-securitisation underpinning the European Union’s policies against trafficking in women for sexual exploitation. Drawing on two main bodies of literature: critical security studies and feminist insights into prostitution and trafficking, it sheds light on the growing tendency of the European Union to conceptualise and address trafficking in women for sexual exploitation as a security issue, and on the distinct and competing approaches that coexist within feminist struggles against such trend, which largely follow the opposing views that structure feminist debates on prostitution: an abolitionist stance that is articulated predominantly from inside the European Union’s institutions and a sex-work approach that is defended mainly from outside.
