The Cascade Effect of Migration...

Anna Fausta Scardigno, Martina...

This volume offers a rigorous and interdisciplinary exploration of how the European Union's externalization of migration governance has reshaped territorial, political, and human landscapes at its periphery. Tracing the aftermath of the 2015 migration crisis, the volume examines how informal agreements with Turkey, Libya, Tunisia, and Albania initiated a cascading logic that normalizes legal opacity, erodes accountability, and institutionalizes human rights violations. Moving beyond legal and geopolitical critique, the book investigates the entanglement of migration containment with tourism development in border regions such as Lampedusa and Lesvos, exposing how these territories become doubly burdened as sites of both securitization and commodification. By engaging with law, postcolonial theory, and critical tourism studies, the authors reveal the neo-colonial dynamics underlying EU mobility governance and advance alternative models grounded in accountability, territorial justice, and the defense of fundamental rights.

The Erich Fromm Reader

Erich Fromm

"Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological world." —Newsweek 
 
 
 
Erich Fromm's basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of "social character," Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium. 
 
 
 
The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm's unique social psychological notion.
