This case study reviews the U.S. government approach to human trafficking over the past decade. Trafficking in persons is a national security concern that has been linked to organized crime, drug trafficking, migrant smuggling, and terrorist financing—making it a problem for the conduct ofU.S. policies in all those areas. International human trafficking presents a complex, multifaceted, and transnational challenge that does not fall neatly into the jurisdiction of any single executive branch organization. Addressing the trafficking problem requires an integrated government response that, notwithstanding significant progress over the past decade, remains lacking.

The Project on National Security Reform (PNSR) is a non-partisan initiative that seeks to improve the U.S. Government's ability to integrate all elements of national power and more effectively respond to the strategic challenges of the 21st century.  The PNSR case studies inform the other analytic work of PNSR by highlighting recurring trends in how the U.S. national security system addresses complex national security problems. 

Attendees at PNSR workshops may use the information as background, but may not identify the speaker, the other attendees, or PNSR itself or quote anything said at the event.

We hope that you can attend.
