Migration in Legal and Political Theory: Remaining Challenges

Description

Conveners

Dr Sarah Fine (Corpus Christi/POLIS/Philosophy)
Dr Lea Ypi (LSE)

Conference summary

The conference aims to address some of the legal, political and ethical challenges posed by transnational migration that so far have received limited attention in the theoretical literature on the subject. Legal and political theorists—in particular, those working in the so-called Anglo-American tradition—have been slow to give migration its due attention. Hence, a number of pressing issues, such as the rights of undocumented migrants, responsibility for refugee populations, and “brain drain” remain under-researched from a normative perspective.

1. Entry and Exit;
2. Statelessness, Citizenship, and Naturalisation.
