Multiculturalism on Immigration - Dictionary of Arguments

Gaus I 255
Immigration/Multiculturalism/Kukathas: Immigration will (...) continue to shape multicultural policy, and so multicultural theory (Kukathas, 2003c)(1). At this point, the strains in multicultural policy also start to become evident in political theory, and in liberal political theory in particular. In part, this is because immigration is itself problematic from a liberal point of view and political theorists are divided on the question of how free people should be to move from country to country. While some favour open borders (Dowty, 1987(2); Carens, 1987(3); 1992(4); 2000(5); Goodin, 1988(6); 1992(7)), others are less sure of the wisdom of letting the liberal state throw open its society to all-comers, particularly if that might threaten to undermine the liberal state (Buchanan, 1995)(8). Unsurprisingly, then, much of the debate about multiculturalism has been a debate about citizenship. >Citizenship/Multiculturalism
