In their introduction to Migration in Political Theory, the editors claim that its essays will 'highlight and scrutinize the central, prevalent assumptions about migration that 'inform current political thinking about migration, as well as countless migration and naturalization policies.' The book delivers on this substantial promise, while also interrogating many of the core normative claims advanced in the theoretical migration debates. Although some essays echo arguments that have been advanced before, this is a largely original volume, as well as a timely and significant contribution to the field.
