Opis

How should we think about immigration and what policies should democratic societies pursue? Sarah Song offers a political theory of immigration that takes seriously both the claims of receiving countries and the claims of prospective migrants. What is required, she argues, is not a policy of open or closed borders but open doors.

Recenzje

Song's desire to advance a "controlled borders and open doors" (p. 190) theory of immigrant justice will resonate with those who believe that democratic values themselves can provide an ethico-political framework for immigrant justice.
