Protection Regimes – a Critical Analysis

Veronica Federico - University of Florence | Sabine Hess - Göttingen Universiy

The expression ‘refugee protection regime’ is frequently used to indicate both the national and international system of principles, legal norms, administrative procedures and practical processes that should guarantee protection for those who, forcibly removed from their country of origin, seek (and sometimes manage) to obtain protection as asylum applicants first, and as refugees, beneficiaries of subsidiary protection or national forms of temporary protection once their application has been successful. More than 20 million entries can be retrieved when searching online for ‘refugee protection regime’, more than six million when searching for ‘international protection regime’. The very same expressions have been widely used in RESPOND…

Integration Policies, Practices & Experiences: ITALY Country Report

Renato Ibrido, Claudia Marchese | University of Florence

The Italian case is characterised by a considerable delay in the development of a model of integration. Indeed, with a long tradition as a country of emigration, Italy has been culturally less well equipped to face the challenges of a multicultural society. Moreover, the country’s geographical position – which impedes an efficient control of the borders – has incentivised policies to contain the arrivals rather than to promote integration.

Refugee Protection Regimes: ITALY Country Report

Renato Ibrido, Andrea Terlizzi | University of Florence

The report explores the impact of the recent migration flows on the asylum and international protection regimes in Italy during the years 2011-2017 and also seeks to identify some best practices and policy recommendations. Through empirical evidence, statistics, expert interviews, discourse analysis and an overview of academic literature, the report examines the response of the Italian authorities to the growing number of applications for international protection (and therefore, the consequent growth of a strong anti-immigrant narrative).
