Abstract
In the face of more restrictive migration policies, quota systems, increased border controls and tighter security measures imposed on “aliens”, an ethical question arises spontaneously: is the welfare of migrants and their families included in the concept of better “management” of migration flows? In this book, a group of scholars from different parts of the world try to answer this question, through a shared analysis on specific migration issues which have a global impact. The volume compiles the papers presented at the 10th Metropolis International Conference held in Toronto, Canada (17-21 October 2005) in the workshop “Migration Management and Ethics: Envisioning a Different Approach” planned by the two editors. The various presentations try to offer a “ethical” assessment of some migration policies in South America, North America, Europe and Asia, highlighting the role of each stakeholder (governments, non-governement organizations and academies) towards a feasible process of “ethicization” of migration management.
