Republikanizmus és bevándorlás: mit diktál a szabadság?
Republicanism and Immigration: What freedom dictates?

Summary/Abstract: A key issue within the philosophical debate on immigration is whether or not states have the right to restrict immigration in the name of democratic selfdetermination. In recent years, a number of authors have suggested that republican theory offers a clear-cut solution to this dilemma. The solution is that states do not have such a right. Unilateral border controls dominate migrants and are therefore immoral. In my paper, I argue that this suggestion is misconceived. In fact, republican theory is characterized by a great degree of ambiguity on this front. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the nondomination criterion offers no solution to the dilemma whatsoever.
