This volume examines the controversial and complex connection between sex and work in prostitution from economic, legal, sociological, and gender-theoretical perspectives. In so doing, it critically reflects contemporary debates and legislative proposals – especially from Great Britain, France, and Sweden – and, in wake of new labor politics, the most recent attempts at regulating prostitution and sex work in a restrictive manner. Central to the volume is the economic nexus of supply and demand, around which unfolds the problematic of prostitution as a special form of work. The volume’s interdisciplinary approach makes possible an examination of economic requirements and regulatory practices in relation to sex work that goes beyond moral and ideological debates.
