This research project will comprehensively address the nuances and interpretations of anti-trafficking provisions in Latin America in regional and comparative perspective. Through the lens of legal culture, the project will identify patterns and trends in anti-trafficking laws, analysed in conjunction with meaning-making factors. To develop a contemporary contextual understanding of human trafficking in Latin America as constructed and shaped by legal culture, this research project will address the core research question: How have legal cultures in Latin American countries shaped the understanding, domestication, and application of the anti-trafficking laws?This research will address three sub-questions:1. How has the international prohibition of trafficking been domesticated in Latin America?2. How have legal cultures shaped the design and application of anti-trafficking provisions in Latin America?3. What other factors have shaped the design and application of anti-trafficking provisions in Latin America?The project will employ a mixed methods nested analysis operating at three scales: global, regional, and national. The project will be divided into three research streams representing these different scales, with learnings from each scale informing and reforming analysis across the others. 1. Global secondary data analysis will take advantage of new and established international quantitative datasets relevant to the domestication of the anti-trafficking prohibition. This includes datasets such as the Global Slavery Index (Walk Free Foundation) and the Antislavery in Domestic Legislation (Schwarz & Allain, 2020) and others. This stream will identify potential explanatory factors linked to political, historical, economic, and cultural contexts, to form a quantitative evidence base for statistical analysis of factors related to the design and implementation of anti-trafficking laws. 2. Regional doctrinal and empirical analysis will consider the regional legal context of Latin America, interrogating the translation of international anti-trafficking norms in Inter-American human rights law. Doctrinal and qualitative methods will be employed to examine legal texts and cases before both the Inter-American Commission and the Court through the lens of legal culture, seeking to understand the contextual meaning-making factors underpinning the law's design and interpretation. Regional legal analysis will also include comparative consideration of anti-trafficking law across Latin America, drawing additional quantitative and qualitative evidence into the interrogation delivered in research stream (1) and considering the interplay between the regional system and domestic laws. 3. National case studies in two Latin American countries will deliver a close examination of legal culture in context, and how this shapes the design and implementation of anti-trafficking laws. The national case studies-to be selected based on a defined case selection framework driven by preliminary data analysis-will identify and map meaning-making factors, characteristics, and underlying values and principles of the legal system to understand how they shape anti-trafficking laws. Primary data collection is expected to include semi-structured key informant interviews and surveys with policymakers and practitioners but may also employ other qualitative and mixed methods.

该研究项目将全面解决拉丁美洲反贩运条款的细微差别和解释，从区域和比较的角度来看。通过法律文化的角度，该项目将确定反贩运法律的模式和趋势，并与意义上的创造因素结合进行分析。为了根据法律文化建立和塑造对拉丁美洲人口贩运的当代上下文理解，该研究项目将解决一个核心研究问题：拉丁美洲国家的法律文化如何塑造对反贩运法律的理解，驯化和应用？这项研究将解决三个子问题：1。在拉丁美洲，国际禁止贩运的禁令是如何被驯化的？2。法律文化如何塑造拉丁美洲反贩运规定的设计和应用？3。其他哪些因素塑造了拉丁美洲反贩运规定的设计和应用？该项目将采用以三个尺度运行的混合方法嵌套分析：全球，区域和国家。该项目将分为三个代表这些不同尺度的研究流，并从每个量表中进行学习，以告知和改革其他分析。 1。全球二级数据分析将利用与反贩运禁令有关的新的和已建立的国际定量数据集。其中包括全球奴隶制指数（Walk Free Foundation）和国内立法中的反奴隶制（Schwarz＆Allain，2020年）等数据集。该流将确定与政治，历史，经济和文化背景相关的潜在解释因素，以构成定量证据基础，以对与反贩运法的设计和实施有关的因素进行统计分析。 2。区域学说和实证分析将考虑拉丁美洲的区域法律背景，询问美国跨美洲人权法中国际反贩运规范的翻译。将采用教义和定性方法，通过法律文化的范围在美洲委员会和法院面前检查法律文本和案件，以寻求理解基于法律设计和解释的背景意义因素。区域法律分析还将包括对拉丁美洲的反贩运法律的比较考虑，将额外的定量和定性证据纳入研究流（1）中的审讯中，并考虑区域体系与国内法律之间的相互作用。 3.两个拉丁美洲国家的国家案例研究将在上下文中对法律文化进行仔细检查，以及这如何塑造反贩运法律的设计和实施。根据初步数据分析驱动的定义案例选择框架选择的国家案例研究将识别和映射含义的含义因素，特征以及法律体系的基本价值观和原理，以了解它们如何塑造反贩运法则。预计主要数据收集将包括对决策者和从业人员的半结构化关键线人访谈和调查，但也可能采用其他定性和混合方法。
