Gillian Brock is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Her books include Global Justice: A Cosmopolitan Account (2009), Debating Brain Drain (with Michael Blake, 2015), and Cosmopolitanism versus Non-Cosmopolitanism (2013).
'Brock's excellent book challenges readers to think carefully about
what allows us to make policies around immigration and refugees
that serve the interests of our citizens. In so doing, her book
helps us to think deeply about what a just world would look like
for migrants and non-migrants alike.' Serena Parekh, Journal of
Global Ethics
Gillian Brock's book is a vital contribution to the existing
philosophical literature on the ethics of migration. It engages in
an original and incisive analysis of how respect for human rights
ought to guide immigration policy today.' Desiree Lim, Ethics
'Justice for People on the Move will be invaluable for those
seeking clear ethical metrics for evaluating recent immigration
policies. Brock deftly navigates between exploring current events
and providing sound philosophical reasoning. Her capacious ethical
framework draws from her prior work on global justice and solidly
grounds arguments regarding policies that affect the human rights
of migrants and refugees.' Paulina Ochoa Espejo, Haverford
College
'Gillian Brock directly engages the issues at the heart of our
public debate: the US Muslim Ban, deportation of irregular
migrants, refugee policy, temporary guestworker programs, and
strategies for combating terrorism. Brock's excellent book has done
us a great service by bringing the tools of philosophy to bear on
these issues.' Anna Stilz, International Journal of Applied
Philosophy
'Gillian Brock's compelling and richly textured new book aims to
set out a human-rights-based framework for thinking about justice
in migration.' Andrea Sangiovanni, International Journal of Applied
Philosophy
'Justice for People on the Move is an important contribution to the
political philosophy of immigration. It is humane and compassionate
toward the world's most vulnerable migrants, refugees, while
nonetheless seeking to understand the misguided thinking behind the
attraction of anti-immigrant rhetoric for many ordinary people, as
well as whose interests roadblocks in the ways of progress on
migration justice serve.' Matthew Lindauer, Res Publica
'Justice for People on the Move presents an important research
program. Its core insight, that migration contexts should be
understood not as natural justificatory deserts but rather as gaps
in international human rights protection that need cooperatively to
be filled, importantly sets us on the right track in thinking about
contemporary migration challenges.' Jiewuh Song, Res Publica
'... a fine book ... that explores how the values embedded in the
post-war human rights framework can be applied to illuminate the
tensions between the rights of political communities to
self-determination and the rights and aspirations of migrants and
refugees.' Christopher Bertram, Mind
'Brock's framework ... does highly important work. Justice for
People on the Move is an exciting book of great practical ambition,
and its human rights framework facilitates its considerable
capacities for action guidance.' David Owen, Ethics and Global
Politics book symposium
'A powerful, new account of migration justice, and as exciting, ...
contribution to normative debates on climate displacement.' Shelley
Wilcox, Ethics and Global Politics book symposium
'A significant contribution to the literature on migration justice.
The book situates itself as a core reading for anyone interested in
global migration justice and provides an excellent bridge between
International Relations and Political Theory.' Merve Edilman,
Journal of Refugee Studies
'Her argument is a powerful and searing indictment of the
inadequacy of present efforts and attitudes towards migrants and
refugees. We should learn the lessons Brock offers, as well as
investigate alternative pathways for clearing more access routes to
developed states for people on the move. Pandemic aside, the
international community ought to do much better, and this book
offers one such path forward.' Carmen Pavel, Ethical Perspectives
