“…According to a widely spread stereotype, the combat of sex trafficking is not a political issue and the people involved are without selfish or parochial interests. This view is convincingly challenged by current research, which notes that the issue of sex trafficking on the contrary is “a highly political topic” (Penttinen, : 15; cf. Aradau, ; Segrave et al, ) and that it has become “increasingly politicised in recent years” (Weitzer, : 447).…”

“…Clearly, the multiplicity of social constructions opens the door for several strategies and means for combating sex trafficking. On the other hand, some studies claim that a discursive shift is currently taking place, which might result in more focus on certain counter‐measures (Penttinen, : 15; Segrave et al, : 5–6; Zheng, ). The meaning of this shift is that sex trafficking is increasingly presented as a human rights problem.…”

Many anti-sex trafficking analyses use the term institution in a narrow meaning, comprising mainly formal-legal political structures (public laws and governmental organizations). However, by bringing in the new institutionalism approach, it is argued that an anti-sex trafficking institution should refer to a relatively enduring collection of rules -including also informal rules such as norms and routines -and organized practices that prescribe appropriate behaviour for any actor, public or private, combating sex trafficking. Based on a review of current research it is concluded that anti-sex trafficking institutions in the early 21st century tend to focus on behaviour that aims at detection, prevention, protection, crisis management, consequence management, and response. Finally, reflecting different strands of the new institutionalism approach, it is argued that the design of anti-sex trafficking institutions depends on path-dependencies, social constructions, international institutions, and domestic politics.

“…When we are looking at the international sex industry this approach allows us to avoid technical issues like ‘who is transgressing against whom’, who should be punished and how to repair the damage – and give, instead, more profound consideration to the question of how power structures and regulates the individual, controls him (or, in our case, her) and enmeshes her with the international sex industry. We may then argue that as a disciplining formation, globalisation reveals the real regime below the surface; or, in Elina Penttinen's words, ‘globalization as a form of govern mentality then reveals the underlying regime of truth or “deep system of meaning” of globalization of the world‐economy’ (Penttinen 2000:6).…”

The term transnationalism, dealing with all facets of immigration – refugees, foreign workers, illegal layovers and migrants from one country to another – has been one of the prominent topics on the public and political agenda of most Western countries in recent years. Through analysing several visual works, this article seeks to draw out the influence of economic, political and cultural changes upon a range of female artists in post‐communist countries today. These artists each react differently in their works to the globalisation processes and the major transitions to a capitalistic economy, from a critical and personal point of view. As a result, these artists create what I shall call ‘a polyphonic project’, which is a product of Central and Eastern European artists that set out, and indeed succeeded, to reclaim their voice and body as women, challenging questions of gender, nationality, politics and economy in a changing Europe.
