| Description: | Select Guide Rating In this rigorous but accessible volume, fresh insights are offered into the political and moral complexities of how to assess and deal with the claims of millions of displaced people to find refuge and asylum in safe and prosperous countries. How to assess and deal with the claims of millions of displaced people to find refuge and asylum in safe and prosperous countries is one of the most pressing issues of modern political philosophy. In this timely volume, fresh insights are offered into the political and moral implications of refugee crises and the treatment of asylum seekers. The contributions illustrate the widening of the debate over what is owed to refugees, and why it is assumed that national state actors and the international community owe special consideration and protection. Among the specific issues discussed are refugees'' rights and duties, refugee selection, whether repatriation can be encouraged or required, and the ethics of sanctuary policies. |
