Kimiko Kuga earned a D.Phil (PhD) in Politics at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford. Her thesis offers insights into the institutional and policy changes associated with anti-trafficking and anti-slavery paradigms by drawing attention to discursive institutionalism. These insights derived from the constructed dominant discourses on human trafficking and modern slavery in Japan from 1990 to 2017. Two strands of discourse have become dominant there as a consequence of political activism since the early 1990s: Filipina entertainers as ‘sex trafficked victims’ and interns and trainees in the Technical Intern Training Programme (TITP) as 'modern slaves'. Taking a critical view of these discourses, her thesis answers the questions of how and why institutional arrangements associated with trafficking and modern slavery have changed in Japan.
