b'Moral and political theorists have paid a healthy amount of attention to states\\u2019 rights to determine who may reside within their territory.\\xa0 Accordingly, there\\u2019s a large literature on immigration, borders, asylum, and refugees.\\xa0 However, relatively little work has been done on questions concerning how refugees are treated once they have gained access to a new country; and from these questions emerge additional issues concerning the repatriation of refugees.\\xa0 As it turns out, there are several global organizations involved in efforts to make repatriation accessible to refugees.\\xa0 However, it is frequently the case that repatriation is dangerous and risky; and often the refugees\\u2019 desire to repatriate is arguably non-voluntary.\\xa0 Distinctive moral concerns quickly into view.\\nIn The Ethics and Practice of Refugee Repatriation (University of Edinburgh Press, 2018), Mollie Gerver systematically addresses these distinctive moral questions.\\xa0 Combining philosophical analysis with testimonial data from extensive field work with refugees, she makes concrete policy recommendations for navigating this fraught moral landscape.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
