The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children was adopted in 2000 by the UN General Assembly, ushering in a new regime of norms and guidelines that reshaped action by states, NGOs, and international organizations around human trafficking. Dr. Faier draws on three years of multi-sited fieldwork in Tokyo, Manila, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. to analyze why these efforts so spectacularly fall short of their stated goals—despite having dedicated considerable resources to them. Building from Hannah Arendt’s understanding of banality as a rote thoughtlessness in political life, she argues that globalized political projects aimed at doing “good” can also be wrought by such a thoughtlessness when they trade official gestures of institutional compliance for more trenchant strategies of political-economic change.
