Summary:

'Liberal Self-Determination in a World of Migration' develops and defends a theory for why some children and some adults have a right to citizenship in a liberal state, and why adult citizens have a moral right to design and implement their own immigration arrangements. It also discusses the moral duties that liberal states have in the areas of asylum, family migration and skilled migration, with surprising implications regarding who exactly has a moral right to be included on a permanent basis in a liberal state.
