Abstract
Perché la Terra dei Fuochi è diventata la "pattumiera d’Italia", come ha riconosciuto la Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo nel caso Cannavacciuolo (2025)? Perché gli abitanti delle case popolari di Scampia sono stati costretti a vivere per anni in condizioni estreme di degrado urbano e insicurezza? Perché ancora oggi tanti braccianti vengono sfruttati e muoiono in seguito a condizioni di lavoro disumane mentre raccolgono la nostra frutta e verdura in Campania, Calabria o Puglia? Al centro di questo volume c’è un interrogativo cruciale: qual è il ruolo del diritto amministrativo e delle istituzioni pubbliche nella produzione e nel mantenimento dell’ingiustizia strutturale? E qual è il ruolo delle autorità pubbliche nell’applicazione del diritto? Il libro propone una lettura critica delle strutture del diritto pubblico che radicano le disuguaglianze e alimentano meccanismi di esclusione sociale. Attraverso tre casi di studio – le ingiustizie ambientali nella Terra dei Fuochi, le disuguaglianze abitative nelle Vele di Scampia e lo sfruttamento dei lavoratori agricoli nelle catene globali del valore – l’autrice analizza come regole, omissioni istituzionali e scelte amministrative possano contribuire a discriminazioni sistemiche.

Why has the Terra dei Fuochi become the “dumping ground of Italy,” as recognized by the European Court of Human Rights in the Cannavacciuolo case (2025)? Why have the residents of Scampia’s public housing been forced to live for years in extreme conditions of urban decay and insecurity? Why do so many agricultural laborers still today suffer exploitation and die under inhumane working conditions while harvesting our fruit and vegetables in Campania, Calabria, or Puglia?
At the heart of this volume lies a crucial question: what is the role of administrative law and public institutions in the production and maintenance of structural injustice? And what is the role of public authorities in the enforcement of law?
The book offers a critical reading of the structures of public law that entrench inequalities and sustain mechanisms of social exclusion. Through three case studies—the environmental injustices in the Terra dei Fuochi, housing inequalities in the Vele di Scampia, and the exploitation of agricultural workers in global value chains—the author examines how legal rules, institutional omissions, and administrative choices can contribute to systemic discrimination.
