Disaster Displacement and International Protection in the EU: Challenges, Misconceptions, and the Way Forward (Routledge, July 2026) [open access]

- "This book investigates the reasons behind the absence of consolidated protection concerning disaster displacement in the EU. ...Through a comprehensive and detailed analysis, it sheds light on the challenges and misconceptions faced by individuals displaced across borders in the context of disasters. It offers a thorough examination of existing legislation, policies, and case law at both the national and EU levels, with a particular focus on Italy. By addressing these issues, it provides a valuable insight for academics, policymakers, and decision-makers, advocating for an evolutive approach to protection claims related to disaster displacement. It calls for the dismantling of State-led barriers to asylum, arguing that such measures are neither effective nor human rights compliant."
