New Challenges in Immigration Theory (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Akakpo, Crispino; Lenard, Patti

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

New Challenges in Immigration Theory seeks to stretch the limits of familiar liberal political theory in order to consider the difficult normative questions presented by 'new' forms of migration, such as climate refugees, and skilled and unskilled temporary labour migration. It also considers the moral challenges posed by states' attempts to exclude migrants in 'innovative' ways - including via the increased use of detention centres - as well as the effects of transnational networks of migrants on encouraging specific migration flows. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.

Autorenporträt

Crispino E.G. Akakpo is currently a doctoral researcher at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Leuven, Belgium, where he works on political philosophy and the philosophy of law. He aims to develop criteria for just migration policies by exploring the tension between moral universalism and state based exclusion. Patti T. Lenard is Assistant Professor of Applied Ethics at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa, Canada. Her first book, Trust Democracy and Multicultural Challenges (2012), focused on the challenges posed by diversity, largely caused by immigration, in domestic states. Her current research focuses on the normative questions that arise as people cross borders, and the reasons that states provide to justify admitting and excluding migrants.
