Working Paper: Steering Demand and the Quest for ‘Better Regulation’
By Christina Boswell and Sarah Kyambi
The imperative to discourage demand for trafficking in human beings is part of international legislation for addressing the phenomenon. A new Working Paper, part of the research project DemandAT, examines what sort of regulatory approaches might be suitable for curbing demand for trafficking-related services. The authors discuss if ‘smart’ forms of regulation, involving light touch steering through forms of competition, persuasion or peer pressure might work better than ‘command and control’ forms of state intervention.
