Immigration poses one of the major moral and political challenges of the twenty-first century. Questions of the state's responsibilities towards immigrants, open borders, security, coping with the displacement of people caused by climate change and natural disasters, and deciding who has a 'right to remain' are but some of the significant challenges currently faced by governments, policymakers and humanitarian organisations.

The Routledge Handbook of the Ethics of Immigration is an outstanding reference source to this vitally important topic. Comprising twenty-five chapters by an international team of contributors, the handbook is organised into seven clear parts:

Open Borders or Right to Control: Theoretical Arguments Open Borders or Right to Control: Practical Approaches Culture, Language, and Institutions Immigration and Discrimination Entry, Exit, and Exploitation Climate, Refugees, and Protection Immigration Enforcement.

In these sections a range of important issues are explored, such as immigration and cultural diversity, the economic aspects of immigration, exploitation, definitions of refugee status, territory, citizenship, trafficking and gender. As such, The Routledge Handbook of the Ethics of Immigration will be of great interest to those studying philosophy, politics and related subjects such as law, sociology and social policy.
