Migration dominates contemporary politics across the world, and there has been a corresponding surge in political theorizing about the complex issues that it raises. In a world in which borders seem to be solidifying while the number of displaced people soars, how should we think about the political and ethical implications of human movement across the globe? In this book, Gillian Brock, one of the leading figures in the field, lucidly introduces and explains the important historical, empirical and normative context necessary to get to grips with the major contemporary debates. She examines issues ranging from the permissibility of controlling borders and the criteria states can justifiably use to underpin their migration management policies through to questions of integration, inclusion and resistance to unjust immigration laws. Migration and Political Theory is essential reading for any student, scholar, or reader who seeks to understand the political theory and ethics of migration and movement in the 21st century.

Exploring the moral implications of needs, this volume delves into whether and how certain needs can justifiably impose claims on individuals. Distinguished contributors analyze the grounds for our responsibilities to fulfill others' needs through diverse theoretical lenses, including contractarian, Kantian, Aristotelian, rights-based, egalitarian, liberal, and libertarian frameworks. This multifaceted examination addresses complex questions of obligation and moral significance, offering a rich discussion on the interplay between needs and ethics.

This volume explores the relevance of moral obligations across national boundaries in an era of increased trade and labor mobility.
