Migration, state legitimacy and international order: on liberal and republican internationalism
Migration, state legitimacy and international order: on liberal and republican internationalism
In Justice for People on the Move, Gillian Brock offers what might
be described as a liberal internationalist form of moral
cosmopolitanism in order to provide a framework for
addressing contemporary issues of international migration. It
is important that what I am calling Brock’s ‘liberal
internationalism’ is grounded on her moral cosmopolitanism
because this registers the point that the commitment to liberal
internationalism is a pragmatic and contingent choice concerning
the best available option for realising moral cosmopolitan
commitments. In this article, I will put some pressure on Brock’s
argument from an alternative internationalist position, that of
republican internationalism, in order to argue that on grounds of both
people’s interests in mobility rights and of sustaining conditions of
background global justice, there are compelling reasons for her to
favour a stance of republican internationalism over one of liberal
internationalism.

Abstract
In Justice for People on the Move, Gillian Brock offers what might
be described as a liberal internationalist form of moral
cosmopolitanism in order to provide a framework for
addressing contemporary issues of international migration. It
is important that what I am calling Brock’s ‘liberal
internationalism’ is grounded on her moral cosmopolitanism
because this registers the point that the commitment to liberal
internationalism is a pragmatic and contingent choice concerning
the best available option for realising moral cosmopolitan
commitments. In this article, I will put some pressure on Brock’s
argument from an alternative internationalist position, that of
republican internationalism, in order to argue that on grounds of both
people’s interests in mobility rights and of sustaining conditions of
background global justice, there are compelling reasons for her to
favour a stance of republican internationalism over one of liberal
internationalism.
