This article explores the different views on contemporary slavery by highlighting both the complexity of the phenomenon (a politicized notion, a protean phenomenon), and the different dimensions that need to be considered in order to grasp its complexity: a global moral economy, a neoliberal economy that makes working conditions precarious, and a racialized, gendered, and hierarchical international division of labour between developed and developing countries.
