On Immigration and Refugees: Thinking in Action
Autor Sir Michael Dummetten Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mai 2001
Exploring the confused and often highly unjust thinking about immigration, Dummett then carefully questions the principles and justifications governing state policies, pointing out that they often conflict with the rights of refugees as laid down by the Geneva Convention. With compelling and often moving examples, On Immigration and Refugees points a new way forward for humane thinking and practice about a problem we cannot afford to ignore.

Recenzii
'Makes the case meticulously ... a terrible indictment of modern British immigration policy.' - The Economist (WORLD)
'Passionately argued and shot through with a sense of urgency ... an invigorating read.' - The Tablet
'acutely spots a blank in the mentality of earlier political philosophers who "have seldom asked what obligations a state has towards those who are not its citizens" and argues powerfully against those who "hold that we have at most only negative duties towards strangers: that, for example, we may not kill them, but have no duty to protect them from being killed". He exposes the fraudulence of the phrase "bogus asylum-seeker"It would be rash to expect so decent a voice will get much of a hearing. After all, selfishness is not only admired but encouraged all around us' - The Evening Standard
