Abstract

This chapter continues the task of enriching the categories and considerations for an ethics of mobility. It insists that determining causality is central to identifying moral responsibility. It urges locating migration within broader trends of often inequitable social transformation. This requires attention to global political economy, as well as to migration systems which bind people and regions together through historical, economic, cultural, and political relationships. It also advocates for more moral scrutiny of corporate actors and for greater attention to internal migration and mobility restrictions within cities.
