Reviews

'Satvinder Juss argues here that the equal moral worth of all persons should entitle all to migrate and sign a social contract with the country of their choice. Rejecting traditional sovereignty-based limits on migration as unnatural and radical , Juss makes a passionate and well-researched case that migration and its accompanying resource flows are critical to the pursuit of global justice.' James C. Hathaway, University of Michigan, USA 'Migration offers one of the most exciting challenges for the twenty-first century, and what Dr Juss does is to prepare the ground for that debate, identifying the most pressing questions, and highlighting the approach from principle.' Guy S. Goodwin-Gill, All Souls College, Oxford, UK '...[this] well researched and referenced book is an important text for anyone interested in international migration from a personal or professional point of view. It will also be of use to anyone undertaking advanced studies in international law.' SCOLAG Legal Journal 'This is a learned book that clearly, consistently and with persistent vigour presents its case, placing migration and its attendant costs and benefits at the centre of the pursuit for global justice...an excellent resource for rethinking the hidebound restrictions on freedom of movement that have arisen over the past century or so.' European Journal of Communication '...the latest book of Satvinder Juss...is more than timely and will of necessity be controversial. Known for forceful arguments and incisive analysis, Juss has become a major academic contributor to the literature on immigration and asylum, with one leg firmly in legal practice as well. This splendid book ...indeed deserves a wide readership, so that we can progress in further, more interdisciplinary discussions in a field that will involve many types of legal and non-legal expertise.' King's Law Journal '...a bold attempt by Professor Juss to redefine the terms of the debate around migration and to show clearly why a more liberal moral approach to migration is the correct response for the 21st century.'
