Michael I. Blake Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Political controversy surrounding migration is increasingly urgent, prompting critical questions in policy-making and philosophical discourse. Do liberal states possess the right to exclude unwanted outsiders, or should borders remain open? What ethical principles should guide refugee and asylum policies? This work provides a framework for addressing these issues by exploring the political morality of migration. Michael Blake presents a novel account of the right to exclude, grounded in a fundamental right to avoid unwanted political relationships. He does not merely justify exclusion but examines the best rationales for it to determine its limits. Blake challenges the current global migration landscape, where open borders favor a select few while the majority, often marginalized, face restrictions. His analysis addresses specific justice-related questions in migration, including the legitimacy of travel bans and carrier sanctions. Furthermore, he advocates for a vision that transcends mere rights and liberal justice, urging a reflection on the type of community we aspire to be. Central to his moral analysis is the notion of mercy, leading to the conclusion that migration policy and public discourse should embody both mercy and justice.
