The Politics of Prostitution: Women's Movements, Democratic States and the Globalisation of Sex Commerce

Revealing how women's movements in Western Europe, North America and Australia have affected politics on prostitution and trafficking of women since the 1970s, this study asks why they are successful in some countries but failures in others. The contributions written by an international team of experts are based on original sources. The final chapter utilizes comparative analysis to determine the factors that make women's movements and agencies successful, presenting an argument for "state feminism".
