アジアにおける人身売買の政治経済とジェンダーに敏感な人間の安全保障

这项研究探讨了贩运人口的情况，特别是在日本、泰国和印度。关注这些国家有助于了解亚洲这一问题的趋势和模式，因为它们是被贩运人口的最大提供者和接受者，主要研究成果已作为一本书的一章出版，题为“重新审视南亚对性别问题有敏感认识的人类安全问题和人口贩运：印度和孟加拉国的案例”。关键的发现是，尽管人口贩运传统上是从刑事定罪的角度来处理的，但从印度和孟加拉国贩运人口，特别是贩运妇女的根本原因与这些地区妇女广泛而棘手的经济贫困有关，而这反过来又与全球资本主义的政治经济有关。另一项研究成果是题为“政治经济学，亚洲的生物能源和对性别问题有敏感认识的人类安全：日本和泰国的人口贩运案例”（审查中）。政治经济学研究很少涉及人类安全和性别问题。本文认为，存在着特定国家的性别剥削的身体，造成人类不安全，这可以通过全球政治经济学的分析更好地解释。它进一步认为，对性别敏感的人类不安全感通过国家和机构的新自由主义治理所行使的生物权力得到加强，这有助于控制和繁荣亚洲的性和劳动力贩运。

This research explored the situation of trafficking particularly in Japan, Thailand and India. Focusing on these countries helps to understand the trends and patterns of the problem in Asia due to the fact that they are the largest providers and receivers of trafficked humans.The main research result was published as a book chapter titled "Revisiting Gender-sensitive Human Security Issues and Human Trafficking in South Asia: The Cases of India and Bangladesh" in an edited volume. The key finding is although human trafficking has been traditionally approached from the perspective of criminalization,the root causes of human trafficking, particularly women trafficking, from India and Bangladesh,are related to these regions’ vast and intractable economic poverty of women, which, in turn, is related to the political economy of global capitalism.Another research outcome is the paper titled "political Economy, Bio-power and Gender-sensitive Human Security in Asia: The Case of Human Trafficking in Japan and Thailand" (under review). The study of political economy has rarely addressed the issues of human security and gender. The paper argues that there exists country-specific gendered exploitation of bodies which causes human insecurity and that it could be better explained through the analysis of global political economy. It further argues that gender-sensitive human insecurity is reinforced through the bio-power exercised by neoliberal governmentality of the states and institutions that helps control and flourish the path of both sex and labor trafficking in Asia.
