The Global Political Economy of Sex: Desire, Violence, and Insecurity in Mediterranean Nation States

This book examines the movement of domestic and sex workers to Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey and demonstrates that gender, race (ethnicity), and nationality are crucial elements in the constitution of the desire economies which are informed by the dominant neoliberal understanding of globalization and its neocolonial logic: the desire for power and security, and the drive to consume the labor and bodies of the Other.
