The articles included in this special issue are the result of research funded under a joint British Academy–DFID (Department for International Development) programme, ‘Tackling Slavery, Human Trafficking and Child Labour in Modern Business’. Together they address the modern slavery regime from a number of angles, interrogating the effectiveness of law and policy in curbing abuse, and exploring how cultural and societal norms influence the ways in which modern slavery is understood.
