Abstract

Free international mobility is one of cosmopolitan egalitarianism’s classical political goals. Yet, nowadays, borders’ impact on people’s opportunities on a global scale does not solely arise from their mechanisms of exclusion, but also from their permeability to certain forms of migration. This article analyses the implications of skilled emigration for productive justice, and argues that, in some circumstances, cosmopolitan egalitarians should support restrictions to freedom of movement to articulate a defence of that basic right that is more coherent with its different normative commitments.
