title: Prostitution or sex work in the common market?
abstract: Prostitution has recently come under public and political scrutiny in the countries of the European Economic Community. A "pro-prostitution" lobby is promoting a program that portrays prostitution as sex work, which has provoked much debate. The author describes the debate, putting forward two paradigms of prostitution: the functionalist versus the socially critical views.
