Owen, David (2016) Refugees, economic migrants and weak cosmopolitanism. Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy, 20 (6), 745-54. (doi:10.1080/13698230.2016.1231754).
Abstract
This article takes issue with several features of David Miller’s account of justice with respect to refugees and to economic migrants, as outlined in Strangers in our Midst. It suggests that even within the terms of his own weak cosmopolitanism, the requirements of justice are more demanding than he acknowledges. In particular, the argument advanced criticizes Miller’s ‘fair shares’ argument concerning obligations to refugees and his recourse to ‘mutual advantage’ in theorizing economic migration.
