Gasbarri's research centers on public international law, international organizations law, and human rights jurisprudence. His seminal 2021 monograph 'The Concept of an International Organization in International Law' (Oxford University Press), translated into Chinese in 2024 and featured in EJIL:Talk!'s Favourite Readings of 2021, revolutionized theoretical frameworks for understanding international institutional nature through original categorization systems and conceptual models.

His recent publications demonstrate evolving analytical trajectories toward institutional accountability mechanisms, UN Security Council practice, and theoretical repositioning within international organizations law. Current work examines space governance, adjudicative creativity, and Eurocentrism in border agency accountability.
