The volume gathers theoretical contributions on human rights and
global justice in the context of international migration. It
addresses the need to reconsider human rights and the theories of
justice in connection with the transformation of the social frames
of reference that international migrations foster. The main goal of
this collective volume is to analyze and propose principles of
justice that serve to address two main challenges connected to
international migrations that are analytically differentiable
although inextricably linked in normative terms: to better
distribute the finite resources of the planet among all its
inhabitants; and to ensure the recognition of human rights in
current migration policies. Due to the very nature of the debate on
global justice and the implementation of human rights and migration
policies, this interdisciplinary volume aims at transcending the
academic sphere and appeals to a large public through argumentative
reflections. Challenging the Borders of Justice in the Age of
Migrations represents a fresh and timely contribution. In a time
when national interests are structurally overvalued and borders
increasingly strengthened, it's a breath of fresh air to read a
book in which migration flows are not changed into a threat. We
simply cannot understand the world around us through the lens of
the 'migration crisis'-a message the authors of this book have
perfectly understood. Aimed at a strong link between theories of
global justice and policies of border control, this timely book
combines the normative and empirical to deeply question the way our
territorial boundaries are justified. Professor Ronald Tinnevelt,
Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands This book is essential
reading for those frustrated by the limitations of the dominant
ways of thinking about global justice especially in relation to
migration. By bringing together discussions of global justice,
cosmopolitan political theory and migration, this collection of
essays has the potential to transform the way in which we think and
debate the critical issues of membership and movement. Together
they present a critical interdisciplinary approach to international
migration, human rights and global justice, challenging
disciplinary borders as well as political ones. Professor Phil
Cole, University of the West of England, UK
