This book examines John Locke as a theorist of migration,
immigration, and the movement of peoples. It outlines the contours
of the public discourse surrounding migration in the seventeenth
century and situates Locke’s in-depth involvement in these
debates. The volume presents a variety of undercurrents in
Locke’s writing — his ideas on populationism, naturalization,
colonization and the right to withdrawal, the plight of refugees,
and territorial rights — which have great import in present-day
debates about migration. Departing from the popular extant
literature that sees Locke advocating for a strong right to exclude
foreigners, the author proposes a Lockean theory of immigration
that recognizes the fundamental right to emigrate, thus catering to
an age wrought with terrorism, xenophobia and economic inequality.
A unique and compelling contribution, the volume will be of great
interest to scholars and researchers of political theory, political
philosophy, history of international politics, international
relations, international political economy, public policy,
seventeenth century English history, migration and citizenship
studies, and moral philosophy.
