As far as immigration theory is concerned, the attempt to reconcile
concern for all persons with the reality of state boundaries and
exclusionary policies has proved difficult within the limits of
normative liberal political philosophy. However, the realpolitik of
migration in today's environment forces a major paradigm shift. We
must move beyond standard debates between those who argue for more
open borders and those who argue for more closed borders. This book
aims to show that a realistic utopia of political theory of
immigration is possible, but argues that to do so we must focus on
expanding the boundaries of what are familiar normative positions
in political theory. Theorists must better inform themselves of the
concrete challenges facing migration policies: statelessness, brain
drain, migrant rights, asylum policies, migrant detention
practices, climate refugees, etc. We must ask: what is the best we
can and ought to wish for in the face of these difficult migration
challenges. Blake, Carens, and Cole offer pieces that outline the
major normative questions in the political theory of immigration.
The positions these scholars outline are challenged by the pieces
contributed by Lister, Ottonelli, Torresi, Sager, and Silverman.
These latter pieces force the reformulation of the central
positions in normative political theory of immigration. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review of
International Social and Political Philosophy.
