Immigration Justice

Informationen zum Autor Peter Higgins is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Department Member in Women's and Gender Studies at Eastern Michigan University. His research applies a feminist perspective to issues of global justice. Klappentext What moral standards ought nation-states abide by when selecting immigration policies? Peter Higgins argues that immigration policies can only be judged by considering the inequalities that are produced by the institutions - such as gender, race and class - that constitute our social world. He challenges conventional positions on immigration justice, including the view that states have a right to choose whatever immigration policies they like, or that all immigration restrictions ought to be eliminated and borders opened. 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. Zusammenfassung The first book-length examination of immigrant admissions from a feminist philosophical perspective. Higgins argues that a different set of immigration policies will be just for each country and concludes with concrete recommendations for policymaking. Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgments; 1.
