This book investigates the moral and legal obligations of European Union member states regarding the collective responsibility for refugee protection. Eleonora Milazzo, a scholar in political theory, utilizes normative analysis to dissect the tension between national sovereignty and supranational solidarity. By applying ethical frameworks to current policy debates, the author seeks to provide clarity on the duties states owe to one another when managing displacement crises.

Experts in international relations and political science identify this work as a rigorous contribution to the ethics of migration policy. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is well-suited for scholars and policymakers interested in the intersection of morality and EU governance.
