This book is the first interdisciplinary study of the fundamental normative issues underpinning immigration policy. A distinguished group of economists, political scientists, and philosophers offer a stimulating and provocative discussion of this complex topic. Among the issues addressed are the proper role of the state in supporting a particular culture, the possible destabilization of the political and social life of a country through immigration and the size and distribution of economic losses and gains.

good book, terrible price,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Justice in Immigration (Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Law) (Hardcover)
This book is made up of essays from a conference. Like all such books some of the essays are better than others. Most in this volume are quite good, with Stephen Perry's especially sticking out as excellent. It's a book worth reading for both lawyers and legal scholars interested in immigration and philosophers and political theorist who want to get a better hand on this neglected and under-theorised area of political and legal philosophy. The only draw back is the outragous price, putting it out of most buyer's range. We can only hope cambridge will eventually see fit to publish a paper-back. Until then, read it in the library.
