- Abstract
- There are approximately 200 million international migrants in the world today as well as countless irregular migrants that would benefit from more open migration. Despite this, borders remain closed for many and the right to free mobility is only granted to a few. Theories speak of a hierarchy of power dictated by those who can move freely and those who cannot. Using this as a base, our study looks at the possibility of migration without borders.
This is achieved through constructive analysis. In the normative section, we pose the sovereignty of states against human rights, as viewed through liberal egalitarianism and realism. In the empirical part, we look at the economic consequences of migration in sending and receiving countries....

We come to find that migration without borders is very much a possible as well as a desirable outcome, with certain reservations. (Less)
