The Ethics and Politics of Immigration: Core Issues and Emerging Trends
Alex Sager - Rowman & Littlefield International, 2016
The
Ethics and Politics of Immigration provides an overview of the central
topics in the ethics of immigration with contributions from scholars who
have shaped the terms of debate and who are moving the discussion
forward in exciting directions. This book is unique in providing an
overview of how the field has developed over the last twenty years in
political philosophy and political theory. The essays in this book cover
issues to do with open borders, admissions policies, refugee protection
and the regulation of labor migration. The book also includes coverage
of matters concerning integration, inclusion, and legalization. It goes
on to explore human trafficking and smuggling and the immigrant
detention. The book concludes with four topics that promise to move
immigration ethics in new directions: philosophical objections to states
giving preference to skilled laborers; the implications of gender and
care ethics; the incorporation of the philosophy of race; and how the
cognitive bias of methodological nationalism affects the discussion.
