Aims and Background

Migration is a recurrent issue in contemporary politics. As a consequence, it is also a growing concern among political philosophers and political scientists. While in a first wave of scholarship claims about the admission and fair treatment of migrants were mainly embedded in general treatments, more focused works are starting to appear. Since P. Cole’s Philosophies of Exclusion and J. Carens’ The Ethics of Immigration (2013), a growing scholarship on migratory justice and politics is now flourishing, dealing with issues of fairness, democracy and justice concerning ‘people on the move’, as Gillian Brock says in her recent Justice for People on the Move (2020), which is the book discussed in the symposium of this issue.

We expect original contributions discussing problems such as (but not limited to):

• Justice and Migration
• Territorial Rights and Migration
• Self-determination and Migration
• Refugees
• Temporary Migration
• Voluntary and Forced Migration
• Terrorism and Migration
