Abstract: Despite the rising concern and the study of human trafficking for 20 years, few studies systematically analyze the phenomenon and almost none take a global, cross-national approach. Quantitative research is rare in this field: most studies cover just one or a few countries (JacKucharski 2012; Mahmoud and Trebesch 2009; Clawson et. al. 2006; Cho 2012; Karakus and Mcgarrell 2011; Danailova-Trainor and Belser 2006; Akee 2007). This study offers, firstly, a more rigorous examination of factors that explain anti-trafficking enforcement across the globe. Using external validity test of the sources of anti-trafficking enforcement I choose the best measurement for global anti-trafficking enforcement. Secondly, the study aims to offer a more rigorous examination of factors that explain antitrafficking enforcement across the globe. I expect to offer a broad theoretical framework according to which I test most significant factors influencing global anti-trafficking enforcement. Thirdly, with this study I expect to offer some recommendations to the policymakers responsible for construction of global measure of anti-trafficking enforcement
