By consulting both published and unpublished sources, this paper aims to elucidate the tensions that occurred in the late 1980s between the Italian government and the governments of Nigeria and Lebanon.

Abstract

This paper examines the phenomenon of international trafficking in Italian waste, which occurred in the late 1980s, and analyses the ways in which this context has changed over time. Furthermore, it analyses the impact of these changes on Italian diplomatic relations and national environmental legislation. By consulting both published and unpublished sources, this paper aims to elucidate the tensions that occurred in the late 1980s between the Italian government and the governments of Nigeria and Lebanon. These tensions originated from the discovery of Italian waste in Koko and Beirut, subsequently giving rise to a regulatory response at the end of the decade.
