De la contraportada

Studies in Global Justice and Human Rights Series Editor: Thom Brooks This series publishes ground-breaking work on key topics in the area of global justice and human rights including democracy, gender, poverty, the environment, and just war. Books in the series are of broad interest to theorists working in politics, international relations, philosophy, and related disciplines. "Higgins urges us to consider an angle of vision on this issue that plays an important role in ordinary discussions but that has been unduly neglected in philosophical debates. The discussion is clear and lucid. This is an important contribution to contemporary debates about immigration admissions." Joseph H. Carens, University of Toronto The first book-length examination of immigrant admissions from a feminist philosophical perspective By what moral standards must nation-states select immigration policies? Immigration Justice is the first book-length feminist philosophical work addressed to this question, defending the view that the justice of an immigration policy can be ascertained only through consideration of the pervasive, systematic, and unjust inequalities engendered by the institutions, such as gender, race, and class, that constitute our social world. In this book, Peter Higgins challenges conventional positions taken on immigration justice, including the view that states have a moral right to choose whatever immigration policies they like, as well as the view that states morally ought to eliminate all or most restrictions on immigration - open borders. Key Features - Draws on empirical data relevant to the moral assessment of immigration policies - Presents the most thorough, up-to-date examination of existing philosophical work on justice in admissions, making it an ideal resource for courses on international justice - Argues that a unique set of immigration policies will be just for each country, depending on its economic and political position and on what social groups that state's policies are most likely to affect - Concludes with concrete recommendations for policymaking Peter W.
