Human trafficking is a violation of human rights that takes many forms (U.S. Department of State, 2017). Participation in same-sector and multisector coalitions and collaborative counter-trafficking efforts are being actively encouraged by the aid industry globally. Working in partnership with other organizations within and across sectors is increasingly perceived as necessary. There is a wide variety of models for structuring and enacting multisector collaboration to counter human trafficking, but little is known yet about the effects of various models combined with the communication practices of leaders and members, on the functioning and outcomes of the collaborations, and most extant studies overlook the Global South. This paper helps redress the dearth of research on coalitions in the Global South through a multimethod, comparative analysis of three national level counter-trafficking coalitions (CTCs) operating in the regions of sub-Sahara Africa, Asia-Pacific Islands, and Southeast Asia. All three CTCs began in the civil society sector and are comprised primarily of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The primary research question addressed in this paper is: Through what structures and practices do NGO-led CTCs in Global South countries engage with public and private sector entities? Findings indicate similarities in the vulnerabilities of NGO-led CTCs in Global South countries, and the challenges they face in cross-sector interactions, but variations in the strategies they employ in those interactions. Each CTC engages the public and private sectors in their country in multiple ways: through membership in the CTC, partnerships with the CTC, and/or a range of engagement practices. Finally, NGO-led CTCs in the Global South engage in the kinds of cross-sector and local-global dynamics that are a key focus in critical cosmopolitan theorizing.

全球南方反人口贩运联盟跨部门参与的结构和实践

人口贩运是对人权的侵犯,其形式多种多样(美国国务院,2017年)。全球援助行业积极鼓励参加同部门和多部门联盟以及反人口贩运的合作。与部门内和部门内其他组织合作的工作越来越被认为是必要的。建立和实施多部门合作以打击人口贩运的模型多种多样,但对于各种模型与领导者和成员的沟通实践相结合对合作的功能和成果的影响知之甚少,大多数情况下现有研究忽视了全球南方。本文通过多种方法帮助解决了全球南方联盟研究不足的问题,在撒哈拉以南非洲,亚太岛屿和东南亚地区开展活动的三个国家层面的反人口贩运联盟的比较分析。所有三个反恐委员会都始于民间社会部门,主要由非政府组织组成。本文研究的主要研究问题是:全球南方国家的非政府组织领导的反恐委员会通过什么结构和做法与公共和私营部门实体进行互动?研究结果表明,在全球南方国家中,由非政府组织领导的四氯化碳的脆弱性相似,它们在跨部门互动中面临的挑战,但在互动中采用的策略却有所不同。每个反恐委员会都通过多种方式与本国的公共和私营部门互动:通过成为反恐委员会的成员,与反恐委员会的伙伴关系,和/或一系列参与实践。最后,由南方地区的非政府组织领导的反恐委员会参与各种跨部门和局部全球动态,这是重要的国际化理论的重点。
