DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Special Workshop &ldquo\;Non-ideal Approaches in Migration Ethics: Movement\, Membership\, and Asylum in the Contemporary World&rdquo\;</strong></p>\n<p><strong>IVR World Congress 2026 Istanbul</strong></p>\n<p>June 28 &ndash\; July 3\, 2026</p>\n<p>https://ivr2026istanbul.org/</p>\n<p><strong>Convenors</strong>: Konstantinos Farmakidis-Markou (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki)\, Anna Milioni (Center for Research in Ethics\, Montreal)\, Jan Turlej (Jagiellonian University)</p>\n<p><strong>Workshop Description</strong></p>\n<p>Migration raises difficult questions against the background of an imperfect global order. Cross-border movement &ndash\; whether voluntary\, driven by constraining circumstances\, or the absence of meaningful life opportunities\, and forced &ndash\; poses enduring ethical problems of admission and reception\, exclusion\, protection\, responsibility\, and belonging. At the same time\, recent and emerging developments &ndash\; including climate-induced displacement\, digitalized border control\, the securitization of migration\, shifting labour markets\, the externalization of responsibility\, and evolving legal regimes of asylum and citizenship &ndash\; are putting established legal and moral-political frameworks under increasing strain. Non-ideal theory\, first systematized for global society by John Rawls in The Law of Peoples\, has since served as a framework for justifying and specifying international duties and as a widely adopted account of the responsibilities that peoples bear toward fellow human beings. At the same time\, it has been strongly\, yet fruitfully\, criticized by proponents of more morality-centred approaches to global justice\, especially in the context of migration. This workshop invites contributions that engage with the ethics of migration across its full spectrum\, approached especially through a non-ideal normative-theoretical perspective\, including: immigration and emigration\, refugee protection\, statelessness\, and citizenship. The workshop aims to provide a forum for philosophical reflection on how moral obligations toward migrants are shaped\, justified\, constrained\, and sometimes transformed under contemporary conditions. Rather than focusing on a single doctrinal or policy issue\, the workshop aims to explore the normative principles underlying migration governance\, as well as the tensions between state sovereignty\, individual rights\, collective self-determination and global justice.</p>\n<p><strong>Themes and Questions</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>We welcome theoretical\, normative\, critical\, and empirically informed contributions on\, among others\, the following topics:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ethics of admission and exclusion: What moral principles should guide immigration policies? Are borders morally permissible\, or is the abolition of borders morally permissible?</li>\n<li>Emigration and exit rights: Do individuals have a moral right to leave their state? Under what conditions\, if any\, can restrictions on emigration be morally justified?</li>\n<li>Refugees\, asylum\, and forced displacement: What obligations do states and international institutions owe to refugees and displaced persons?</li>\n<li>Climate migration and future displacement: How should ethical frameworks be revised to address migration and displacement driven by environmental degradation and climate change?</li>\n<li>Citizenship and membership: Is citizenship best understood as a matter of state discretion\, or as something to which individuals can have moral (and possibly legal) claims? When\, if ever\, do long-term residence\, contribution\, or vulnerability give rise to obligations of inclusion?</li>\n<li>Statelessness and legal invisibility: How should law and ethics respond to individuals who fall outside established regimes of protection?</li>\n<li>Global justice and responsibility-sharing: How should the burdens and benefits of migration be distributed fairly at the global level? &nbsp\;</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The workshop is open call. Contributions may draw from:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>philosophy (moral\, political\, legal philosophy)\,</li>\n<li>legal theory and jurisprudence\,</li>\n<li>political theory\,</li>\n<li>and a normative analysis informed by empirical research.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The workshop aims to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>foster dialogue among different approaches to migration ethics\,</li>\n<li>clarify the normative assumptions underlying contemporary migration regimes\,</li>\n<li>and contribute to broader debates on responsibility\, membership\, and justice.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The workshop may provide the foundation for future collaboration\, a themed publication\, or a subsequent research network.</p>
