Employing the concept of unfree labor, this article explores the role of the state in reinforcing victims’ vulnerability and shaping the political economy of trafficking practices. Based on a case study of trafficking victims in Benjina and Ambon, Maluku Province, Indonesia, I argue that Indonesian authorities’ intervention was driven not by humanitarian interest, nor by the concern for the protection of migrant workers’ rights, but rather by the intent to advance a political and economic agenda against the Thai fishing industry. Consequently, the intervention ignored the exploitative relations of production that underpinned the vulnerability of victims, despite being conducted in the name of victim-protection and improving livelihoods.

非自由劳工和国家的政治经济学:印度尼西亚案例研究

本文采用非自由劳动的概念,探讨了国家在加强受害者的脆弱性和塑造贩运行为的政治经济方面的作用。基于对印度尼西亚马鲁古省本吉纳和安汶的贩运受害者案例研究,我认为印度尼西亚当局的干预不是出于人道主义利益,也不是出于对保护移民工人权利的关注,而是出于意图推进反对泰国渔业的政治和经济议程。因此,尽管干预是以保护受害者和改善生计的名义进行的,但它忽视了支撑受害者脆弱性的剥削性生产关系。
