Forschungsprojekt

“Globalisation, poverty, and the shadow economy of human trafficking in Nigeria”

Human trafficking in Nigeria has a widespread link to North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. The Nigerian presence in Europe has included connections to organized crime. Since the beginning of the 1990s, organized criminal networks have gained considerable power in West Africa. These networks consist mainly of Nigerians, and have, among other things, based their growth on established trade networks in the region and ties to the large West African populations in the United States and in parts of Europe. The combination of corruption and poverty makes it easy to engage in organised crime in Nigeria. The dynamics of trafficking are best explained by migration theory, which utilizes and economic perspective to analyse the flow of human migration in terms of demand-pull factors. Factors such as high levels of economic development and prosperity, access, and employment prospects make affluent regions in the global north attractive for migrants. To many families in Nigeria, having a child travel to Europe is the only way to escape extreme poverty. Nigeria is a source, transit and destination country for women and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Human trafficking as part of an organised crime can be categorised under what is known as shadow economy, because it is an economic activity that includes conscious efforts to avoid official detection. This research examines economic globalisation in a country ridden by poverty, and how it is encouraging and fuelling the increase of modern day slavery in Nigeria. Specifically, the paper seeks to understand the extent to which the law plays in protecting inequalities of nations brought about by globalisation. The general purpose of this study is to explore the role of local, regional and global laws in promoting or undermining the shadow economic activities such as human trafficking and smuggling in Nigeria.
