Migration in Political Theory

Sarah Fine is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at King's College London. She was previously a Research Fellow at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. She specialises in issues relating to migration and citizenship. Her forthcoming book, Immigration and the Right to Exclude (OUP), sets out to challenge the idea that the state has a moral right to exclude would-be immigrants. Her publications include 'Freedom of Association Is Not the Answer' in Ethics. Lea Ypi is a Professor in Political Theory at the London School of Economics and Political Science and Adjunct Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University. She is the author of Global Justice and Avant-Garde Political Agency (Oxford University Press 2012), The Meaning of Partisanship, (OUP 2016, with Jonathan White) and the co-editor of Kant and Colonialism (Oxford University Press 2014, with Katrin Flikschuh).

"In their introduction to Migration in Political Theory, the editors claim that its essays will 'highlight and scrutinize the central, prevalent assumptions about migration that 'inform current political thinking about migration, as well as countless migration and naturalization policies.' The book delivers on this substantial promise, while also interrogating many of the core normative claims advanced in the theoretical migration debates. Although some essays echo arguments that have been advanced before, this is a largely original volume, as well as a timely and significant contribution to the field."
