Citizenship, migration, holism, individualismAbstract
The aim of the essay is to outline the possible relations between, on one hand, the main normative models of society in Western political thought and on the other hand the ways migration has been addressed in theoretical terms. First, we look at the complex and contradictory connections between migration and models of society in Plato and Aristotle. Secondly, we examine how the relationship between citizenship and migration has been understood within the framework of individualism and contract theory (foremost in Hobbes, Locke and Kant). In section three, the theme is illustrated from the perspective of some of today’s normative political theories (neo-utilitarism, communitarism, neo-republicanism, constitutionalism centred on fundamental rights). Here some critical arguments in favour of residence-based citizenship entitlement and the right to migrate are discussed.
