Professor Pistocchi has published research on the use of natural resources, urbanisation and regionalisation in some EU countries. His recent research projects deal with Western Aid organisations and the relationship between aid, natural resources and geo politics, migration and urbanisation as well as the effects of tourism in certain parts of Africa.
