Trafficking in Human Beings in Global Age: A Case Study of Turkey

Öz

With the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the monolithic international structure, asymmetric threats raised to the top of the agenda of the international community. Among them, trafficking in human beings has become one of the main issues threatening the security of the Western countries. Due to the fact that trafficking in human beings is now regarded as a modern form of slavery and constitutes one of the major crimes in international law, several studies have been conducted analysing the issue. These studies have been designed within a general framework and lacked to cover case studies on country-basis. Within this context, this article aims to analyse Turkey’s approach and policies in relation with the trafficking in human beings issue. Since Turkey is a transit, destination and origin country of migration, the root causes and the dimensions of the problem for Turkey and Turkey’s strategy to cope with the issue will set forth meaningful data and enable a better understanding
