Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewFerracioli grapples successfully with the challenges involved in formulating a liberal theory of migration and is not afraid of biting bullets when the need arises...Everyone working on topics connected to self-determination and immigration will benefit from a close reading of this book, and come away with new questions to address, as well as new answers to contemplate. * David Miller, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
Liberal Self-Determination in a World of Migration is a terrific book which compellingly demonstrates that the resources of analytical political philosophy can be combined with a deep humanism. This is an original contribution both to the philosophy of liberal citizenship and the ethics of migration, and along the way Ferracioli adds her distinctive voice to debates on citizenship for children, adults, refugees, family members, the brain drain, and unjust membership policies. * Margaret Moore, Professor of Political Studies, Queen's University Canada and author of Political Theory of Territory (OUP, 2017) *
This is a thoughtful exploration of some of the puzzles and tensions that arise when we think about questions of citizenship, self-determination, and immigration from a liberal perspective. Ferracioli writes in a clear and engaging style. Her discussion is challenging and provocative. This is a rewarding read. * Joseph H. Carens, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto *
Most accounts of states' right to exclude immigrants address why states can exclude immigrants, when and why deportation is permissible, and limits on the right to exclude in cases of desperately needy migrants...Luara Ferracioli takes on all these questions and more in her illuminating and measured book, Liberal Self-Determination in a World of Migration * Thomas Carnes, Radical Philosophy Review *
