This work offers a timely philosophical analysis of interrelated
normative questions concerning immigration and citizenship in
relation to the global context of multiple nation states. In it,
philosophers and scholars from the social sciences address both
fundamental questions in moral and political philosophy as well as
specific issues concerning policy. Topics covered in this volume
include: the concept and the role of citizenship, the equal rights
and representation of citizens, general moral frameworks for
addressing immigration issues, the duty to obey immigration law,
the use of ethnic, cultural, or linguistic criteria for selective
immigration, domestic violence as grounds for political asylum, and
our duty to refugees in general. The urgency of the need to discuss
these matters is clear. Several humanitarian crises involving human
migration across national boundaries stemming from war, economic
devastations, gang violence, and violence in ethnic or religious
conflicts have unfolded. Political debates concerning immigration
and immigrant communities are continuing in many countries,
especially during election years. While there have always been
migrating human beings, they raise distinctive issues in the modern
era because of the political context under which the migrations
take place, namely, that of a system of sovereign nation states
with rights to control their borders and determine their
memberships. This collection provides readers the opportunity to
parse these complex issues with the help of diverse philosophical,
moral, and political perspectives.

The economic impact of the U. S. financial market meltdown of 2008
has been devastating both in the U. S. and worldwide. One
consequence of this crisis is the widening gap between rich and
poor. With little end in sight to global economic woes, it has
never been more urgent to examine and re-examine the values and
ideals that animate policy about the market, the workplace, and
formal and informal economic institutions at the level of the
nation state and internationally. Re-entering existing debates and
provoking new ones about economic justice, this volume makes a
timely contribution to a normative assessment of our economic
values and the institutions that active those norms. Topics covered
by this volumes essays range from specific or relatively
small-scale problems such as payday lending and prisoners' access
to adequate healthcare; to large-scale such as global poverty, the
free market and international aid. Economic Justice will stimulate
and provoke philosophers, policy makers, the engaged readers who
and better outcomes from financial institutions and more effect
distribution of economic goods.
