This book argues that citizens have a moral right to decide by
which criteria they grant migrants citizenship, as well as to
control access to their territory in the first place. In developing
and defending this argument, it critically engages numerous
objections, thus providing the reader with a thorough overview of
the current debate on the ethics of immigration and exclusion. The
author's argument is based on a straightforwardly individualist and
liberal starting point. One of the rights granted by liberalism is
freedom of association, which also comprises the right not to
associate with people with whom one does not want to associate.
While this is an individual right, it can be exercised collectively
like many other individual rights. Thus, people can decide to
collectively organize into an association pursuing certain goals;
and subject to certain provisos, this gives rise to legitimate
claims to space and territory in which they pursue these goals. The
author shows that this right is far-reaching and robust, which
entails an equally far-reaching and robust right to exclude.
Moreover, he demonstrates that large-scale immigration from
illiberal cultures tends to severely compromise the way of life,
the values, and the institutions of liberal democracies in ways
routinely ignored by apologists for multiculturalism. Freedom,
Culture, and the Right to Exclude will be of interest to scholars
and advanced students working in applied ethics, political
philosophy, political theory, and law.
