Description
Justice, Migration, and Mercy by Michael Blake offers a thought-provoking exploration of the complex issues surrounding migration. The author provides a novel account of the right to exclude, grounded in a fundamental right to avoid unwanted forms of political relationship. Blake examines the best justifications for exclusion, challenging current global realities that often prioritize open borders for select individuals and closed borders for the majority, who are most marginalized in society. He also sheds light on specific questions of justice in migration, such as the permissibility of travel bans and carrier sanctions. At its core, this book is a philosophical analysis of migration policy, arguing that mercy should be a central consideration in constructing migration policy and public debate.
