New open access paper out in @bjpir.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

A number of recent articles have sought to carve out space for more feasible and action-guiding political theories of migration. These accounts have focused on policy-makers as target agents. I suggest an alternative approach that targets migrant and refugee-led social movements who can generate social and political goods that are crucial in non-ideal conditions. These include situated social critique, embodied non-oppressive alternatives and community-building. Making these goods salient renders three desiderata for normative theorising. Movement-oriented theories need to be intelligible to such movements, they need to provide a framework for transformative worldmaking and they need to attend to affective relations created in and by social movements. Engaging with migrant and refugee social movements, I suggest that a movement-oriented theory of migration renders ‘no borders’ more action-guiding by focusing on how border regimes sustain a hierarchical international order that makes some people more vulnerable to displacement and its associated harms.

They don’t seem wrong about the incentives here. It’s the wrong conclusion though, the conditions are the problem. It does appear a very reckless position from the UK or am I missing something?

It’s a bold title for sure, but this is a much needed contribution towards the truth. I found parts of it cathartic to read - thank you @rachelshabi.bsky.social

Quick (I hope!) break from book writing to draft this.
