This is the first book-length examination of immigrant admissions
from a feminist philosophical perspective. Much philosophical work
on immigration is founded on an outdated conception of immigrants
and the causes of migration. This is based on the model of the
pre-World War II European migrant to North America escaping
political tyranny, fleeing famine or hoping to claim 'unsettled'
land. Higgins draws on empirical evidence to show that the world
has changed, and reasons for migration have changed too. So we need
to create new moral principles for deciding which immigrants should
be admitted. Rather than suggesting one absolute solution, Higgins
argues that a unique set of immigration policies will be just for
each country. He concludes with concrete recommendations for
policymaking. It draws on empirical data on trends, patterns and
causes of contemporary global migration. It is the most thorough,
up-to-date examination of existing philosophical work on justice in
admissions. It responds the thought of other political philosophers
including John Rawls, Thomas Pogge and Michael Walzer. It includes
chapters on nationalism, cosmopolitanism and policy.
