This is an excellent collection of academic essays on some of the key normative issues raised by the laws, policies and practices that govern immigration in liberal states. Nearly all of the contributors work in political theory or philosophy, though the collection distinguishes itself in taking a more self-consciously practical approach to the issues, closely attuned to specific institutional and strategic contexts and the dominant modes of argument in public discourse.
— Guy Aitchison, University College Dublin; LSE Review of Books
This collection deftly accomplishes the difficult task of accurately representing the current state of the philosophical debates on migration while also broadening this discourse to address many critical but hitherto overlooked real world issues. Timely, illuminating, and methodologically pluralistic, The Ethics and Politics of Immigration is an important contribution to the field and a superb example of publicly engaged philosophy.
— Shelley Wilcox, Professor of Philosophy, San Francisco State University
This is an excellent collection. All of the essays are of high quality, many address topics that have been neglected in the normative literature, and some adopt new methodological approaches. Everyone interested in the ethical questions raised by migration will gain from reading this book.
— Joseph H. Carens, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto
