• Sommario/riassunto: This book, part of the IMISCOE Research Series, examines the complex interplay between protection and harm within asylum laws and bureaucracies. It highlights the dual agendas of European Union policies on immigration: attracting skilled workers for economic needs and adhering to humanitarian commitments to protect human rights. The text explores the concept of vulnerability in asylum processes, revealing how it is used as a criterion for protection but often fails those it is meant to help due to inconsistent application and contextual variability. The book provides empirical data from various countries, offering insights into the practical challenges faced by vulnerable individuals seeking asylum. The authors aim to enrich academic discourse on migration and protection while addressing the complexities of implementing equitable and consistent protection policies.
