Migration by Bill Jordan

Migration by Bill Jordan

The freedom to choose where to live and work is a fundamental right in liberal societies. The moral equality of persons is the basic principle of democratic politics. But liberal democracy has no coherent theory of boundaries, or how members should be selected for political communities.

"This is an innovative, thought-provoking and well-informed book that should be useful to all those interested in immigration policy, and in globalization and its implicationsHopefully, given its substance and arguments, this book will be read as much by policy-makers and practitioners as by those studying and researching the subject of migration policy and global human movement." Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies

"This is an excellent book. ... It deals in an illuminating and original way with a range of issues that are fundamental to the contemporary world." Alan Carling, University of Bradford

"The text moves the debate on migration and mobility to a new place and level, raising vital questions and offering perspectives that are both original and challenging for anybody working in the field." Phillip Cole, Middlesex University

"In a world on the move, we can no longer assume the division of humanity into bordered entities as a given. Using current immigration issues as a starting point, Jordan and Duvell venture boldly beyond ordinary policy concerns to recast theories of equality and justice." Aristide R. Zolberg, Graduate Faculty, New School University, New York

Bill Jordan is Professor of Social Policy at Exeter and Huddersfield Universities and Reader in Social Policy at London Metropolitan University. Dr Franck Düvell is Research Fellow at Exeter University and Lecturer at the University of Bremen
