Rethinking International Protection

More about the book

The book critically examines the concept of international protection, emphasizing the complex relationship between state sovereignty and the obligations of states to provide legal, social, and economic support. It argues that protection should extend beyond mere safety from violence to include emancipation. By analyzing the specific context of Italy, the author highlights the distinction between public responsibilities and private assistance, revealing how inadequate protection has driven refugees to seek safety in other EU nations. This work is crucial for those studying migration and asylum politics.
