This book explores the constraints which justice imposes on
immigration policy. Like liberal nationalists, Ryan Pevnick argues
that citizens have special claims to the institutions of their
states. However, the source of these special claims is located in
the citizenry's ownership of state institutions rather than in a
shared national identity. Citizens contribute to the construction
and maintenance of institutions (by paying taxes and obeying the
law), and as a result they have special claims to these
institutions and a limited right to exclude outsiders. Pevnick
shows that the resulting view justifies a set of policies -
including support for certain types of guest worker programs -
which is distinct from those supported by either liberal
nationalists or advocates of open borders. His book provides a
framework for considering a number of connected topics including
issues related to self-determination, the scope of distributive
justice and the significance of shared national identity.
