This book is about their conversations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese dialogues introduce the reader to the most important ethical and political questions about immigration. They begin by considering the claim that significant levels of immigration pose a threat to the very civilization of the West, where the immigration issue is a particularly vexed one. The chapters that follow consider the economics of immigration, whether or not the state is justified in its efforts--or even obliged--to control immigration, and whether everyone has a right to move or if only refugees can make so strong a claim. The final chapter considers the implications of a philosophy of immigration on the ideal of an open society. Throughout the book, there is a strong emphasis on addressing the conceptual questions that are vital for making any headway in understanding practical issues. What is a refugee? What are rights? What is an open society? Indeed, what is immigration?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten as a friendly engagement between six thoughtful but skeptical students who hold a variety of views, and a philosophy professor, who insists he's just trying to work out the answers with their help rather than convince them of one right answer;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngages with the immigration debates in philosophy, economics and politics, without presupposing any specialist knowledge;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion of the historical and institutional aspects of immigration, so the conversation is never simply about abstract or hypothetical cases;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConcludes with a substantive theory about how to think about immigration and the free society to prompt further reflection.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChandran Kukathas \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Political Science at Singapore Management University.
