25Collateral benefitSocial Philosophy and Policy 23 (1): 218-230. 2006.This essay attempts to identify the ethical principles appropriate to a second-order political agent—an agent, that is, whose primary responsibility lies not in the implementation of state power, but in the response to and evaluation of that state power. The specific agent I examine is the human rights non-governmental organization, and the specific context is that of humanitarian military intervention. I argue that the specific role of the human rights NGO gives rise to ethical permissions not …Read more

15Voluntary and Involuntary Migrants: On Migration, Safe Third Countries, and the Collective Unfreedom of the ProletariatEthics and International Affairs 37 (4): 427-451. 2023.The claims of those who are compelled to migrate are, in general, taken to be more urgent and pressing than the claims of those who were not forced to do so. This article does not defend the moral relevance of voluntarism to the morality of migration, but instead seeks to demonstrate two complexities that must be included in any plausible account of that moral relevance. The first is that the decision to start the migration journey is distinct from the decision to stop that journey, through rese…Read more

15Migration and ManipulationPublic Affairs Quarterly 37 (3): 174-187. 2023.Much modern discussion of the morality of migration begins with the concept of coercion, and takes the coercive nature of border enforcement as especially salient in the moral analysis of migration policy. Much migration control, however, begins not with overt coercion, but with what I term manipulations; these are ways of making migration more difficult that do not resemble canonical cases of coercion. Examples include the alteration of the physical pathways between states, attempts to deceive …Read more

12Unwanted Compatriots: Alienation, Migration, and Political AutonomyEthics and International Affairs 35 (4): 491-501. 2021.In Territorial Sovereignty: A Philosophical Exploration, Anna Stilz argues that legitimate political authority requires the actual—rather than hypothetical—consent of the governed. I argue, however, that her analysis of that consent is inconsistent, in the weight it ascribes to the felt desire to refrain from doing politics with some particular group of people. In the context of secession and self-determination, the lack of actual consent to shared political institutions is weighty enough to ren…Read more

Social Justice and State BordersDissertation, Stanford University. 1998.Liberalism is premised upon moral egalitarianism, so that no arbitrary fact about persons can serve to justify a difference in the administration of justice. Yet liberalism also traditionally applies its egalitarianism only within the borders of the territorial state, so that arbitrary facts of citizenship serve to place a limit upon the range of such egalitarian principles. I argue that the current ways of solving this dilemma are inadequate; both the partialist and the Rawlsian cosmopolitan ap…Read more
