MIGRATION AND JUSTICE (IN 3 VOLUMES)

Migration and Justice provides a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary examination of migration as a deeply normative and practical challenge shaped by legal systems, public policies, organizational practices and social institutions. By examining both the opportunities and injustices generated by contemporary migration processes, the volumes highlight migration as a source of innovation, entrepreneurship, and cultural enrichment, while foregrounding migrants' agency amid experiences of exploitation, exclusion and structural inequality.Across the volumes, contributors address key themes such as access to justice, human rights protection, gender and migration justice, healthcare and educational equity, labor exploitation, ethical governance, and environmental displacement. The series also includes studies of entrepreneurship, leadership, workforce integration, and emerging forms of work such as digital nomadism, with particular attention to vulnerable populations including undocumented workers, refugees, women, children, and communities affected by climate-induced migration.Situated within the broader reality that immigration and migration continue to shape societies, economies and institutions across time and space, Migration and Justice aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars in management, economics, sociology, law, political science, and related fields. The series ultimately seeks to advance theory, inform policy, and support more just, inclusive, and sustainable responses to global migration.Volume 1: Migration and Justice: Displacement and Difference: Gender and Markets"Migration and Justice" constitutes an important and timely contribution to the broader scholarly conversation on migration and justice. By foregrounding the lived experiences of migrants across social, economic, and institutional domains, the book advances a nuanced understanding of justice as a multidimensional and contextually embedded phenomenon. Rather than treating migration merely as a demographic or economic process, it positions it as a critical site where inequalities are reproduced, negotiated, and potentially transformed. In doing so, the series lays a strong conceptual foundation for the overall book by linking questions of justice to recognition, redistribution, and participation across diverse migration contexts. Within this framework, in this Volume, the first thematic cluster on gender, integration, and social justice demonstrates how migration is profoundly shaped by gendered and intersectional dynamics. It highlights how migrant women and other individuals experience layered forms of exclusion, while also emphasizing their agency in resisting marginalization and constructing new forms of belonging. The second cluster on migration, business, and neo-colonial inequalities complements this perspective by examining the economic dimensions of justice. It critically interrogates narratives of migrant entrepreneurship and inclusion, revealing how global capitalism often reproduces asymmetries and dependencies, even as migrants create alternative spaces of participation and resilience. Together, these themes reinforce the book's overarching argument that migration must be analyzed through a justice lens that integrates social, economic, and political dimensions.Volume 2: Migration and Justice: Beyond Inclusion — Global Care, Local Control: Policy and Inequality"Migration and Justice" constitutes an important and timely contribution to the broader scholarly conversation on migration and justice. By foregrounding the lived experiences of migrants across social, economic, and institutional domains, the book advances a nuanced understanding of justice as a multidimensional and contextually embedded phenomenon. Rather than treating migration merely as a demographic or economic process, it positions it as a critical site where inequalities are reproduced, negotiated, and potentially transformed. In doing so, the series lays a strong conceptual foundation for the overall book by linking questions of justice to recognition, redistribution, and participation across diverse migration contexts. Volume 2 focuses on political environments and policy justice, demonstrating how migration governance—through laws, securitization, and border control—actively produces inequalities. By examining cases such as European detention regimes, BRICS migration strategies, and xenophobic violence in South Africa, the chapters reveal how state power and historical legacies shape access to mobility and protection. Justice, therefore, is inseparable from the political frameworks that define belonging and exclusion. The following cluster in this book shifts attention to global care chains, highlighting care as both labor and an ethical relation embedded in migration. It uncovers how migrant care workers sustain global economies while facing precarity, invisibility, and emotional burdens. Together, these themes connect to the overall book by showing that a just migration system must address governance structures and the unequal distribution and recognition of care, alongside broader social and economic inequalities.Volume 3: Migration and Justice: Claiming Space on the Move: Urban Justice and Human Dignity"Migration and Justice" constitutes an important and timely contribution to the broader scholarly conversation on migration and justice. By foregrounding the lived experiences of migrants across social, economic, and institutional domains, the book advances a nuanced understanding of justice as a multidimensional and contextually embedded phenomenon. Rather than treating migration merely as a demographic or economic process, it positions it as a critical site where inequalities are reproduced, negotiated, and potentially transformed. In doing so, the series lays a strong conceptual foundation for the overall book by linking questions of justice to recognition, redistribution, and participation across diverse migration contexts. Volume 3 explores how displacement, discrimination, and structural violence limit migrants' freedoms and well-being. Case studies from Gaza, Syria, and the US–Mexico borderlands highlight health inequities arising from environmental and political crises, while the experiences of nuclear victims in Japan reveal the enduring stigma that erodes social recognition. These chapters emphasize that justice is more than formal rights—it requires the material and social conditions enabling individuals to exercise those rights, restoring agency and dignity through community initiatives and social movements. The following section situates migration within urban environments, showing how the built environment shapes access to resources, participation, and visibility. Migrants navigate both exclusion and opportunity, contributing to economic vitality while negotiating civic marginalization. The Shanghai case exemplifies how everyday urban interactions foster public deliberation and community formation, illustrating the struggle for spatial rights, belonging, and democratic participation.
