Chandran Kukathas explains the threat immigration control poses to the freedom of citizens.Today's Book: Immigration and Freedom

Do you have the courage of a Spartan? Are we all partly anarchists? What are we truly? What do we value? Are Reason and Nature entangled? Is there a hierarchy of beings above/below human beings? What do Gods have that humans don't have? Does Nature offer us moral guidance? How do plants imitate Gods? How much does human nature vary with (say) geography, culture, language, & time? Are we more (or, less?) diverse at birth? Do you want to transcend your body? Is matter evil? Does social evolution change (the psychological) human nature? Does one need to have a theory of human nature to think about political forms? What is it to be a flourishing human? Do literature and art have the function of ‘making' human? Do stories around the world share something? Why do classics endure? Do each one of us need to realize our human-ness? Where does this normativity come from? Does (only) force keep us together? Is the construct of human nature both useful and dangerous? Are (most) determinisms dangerous? &, will any new kind of world in the future (off a new structure) have a new kind of human nature? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from literary studies (Dr. Milind Brahme, IIT Madras, Chennai), philosophy (Dr. Aditi Chaturvedi, Azim Premji University, Bangalore), & political studies (Prof. Chandran Kukathas, Singapore Management University (SMU), Singapore).

Bör människor få välja att frivilligt ingå i sammanhang som innebär förtryck? Vilka gränser finns det för fria samhällens tolerans? Det försöker malaysiskfödde Chandran Kukathas svara på, bland annat genom sin teori om den liberala skärgården. Han sjunger den fria rörlighetens lov, men blundar inte för motsättningarna och tvekar inte att dra resonemang till sin spets. Catarina Kärkkäinen samtalar med Patrick Krassén och Niklas Elert.

We talk a lot about liberalism on this show, but to date haven't done an episode on just what liberalism is. So it is my pleasure to have Chandran Kukathas join me today to fix that. He is Dean of the School of Social Sciences and Lee Kong Chian Chair Professor of Political Science at Singapore Management University, and the author of many books, including the classic The Liberal Archipelago, and his most recent, Immigration and Freedom.We set out the basic principles of liberalism, explore the nuances and complicated application, and dig into critiques that have been raised by non-liberal thinkers.ReImagining Liberty is an independent show.

On this episode Ethan sits down with the great Professor Chandran Kukathas, the Dean of the School of Social Sciences at Singapore Management University and former Chair of Political Theory at the London School of Economics. The conversation covers his work on questions of nationalism, ethnic identity, and political order. Chandran also discusses his research into the work of Friedrich Hayek and the great economist's contributions to the advancement of not just human liberty but the field of political science.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned from his parliamentary seat this month, sending shockwaves throughout British politics and posing yet another headache for current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Immigration is most commonly discussed through the lens of the emigre seeking a way into a new land and the rules put in place to secure borders from those deemed undesirable to enter the country. But another, less explored approach of looking at immigration control is to consider the impact on the receiving society and whether the costs of exchanging freedom for secure borders is ultimately what we as a society want. Prof. Chandran Kukathas, author of the book "Immigration and Freedom" puts forth alternative views of the immigration debate.Image credit: Shutterstock

Yesterday Queen Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral Castle aged 96 after 70 years on the throne. How will she be remembered, both by the British public as well as the broader international community, and what can we expect from the reign of King Charles the Third? We reflect on the monarch's legacy with Prof. Chandran Kukathas of the Singapore Management University.

The next UK Prime Minister is Liz Truss, after she beat rival Rishi Sunak in the Conservative party leadership race. She inherits a government that has swung from one crisis to another, from the pandemic to the war in Ukraine. How will Liz Truss handle this thrust into leadership, and can she deliver as cost of living crisis looms? Prof. Chandran Kukathas, Dean at the Singapore Management University weighs in with his reactions.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a book panel discussion of Chandran Kukathas's book, Immigration and Freedom. Immigration is often seen as a danger to western liberal democracies because it threatens to undermine their fundamental values, most notably freedom and national self-determination. In this book, however, Chandran Kukathas argues that the greater threat comes not from immigration but from immigration control. The discussion is moderated by Stefanie Haeffele, and Kukathas is joined by panelists:Ryan Muldoon — Director of Undergraduate Studies; Associate Professor of Philosophy, University at BuffaloLiza Schuster — Reader in Sociology, City Univeristy of LondonBas van der Vossen — Associate Professor of Philosophy; Director, Law and the Liberal Arts Minor, Chapman University

Alex speaks with Chandran Kukathas about the costs of limiting immigration and what effects there may be on policy if the question of who counts as an immigrant is itself unclear.

Rob and Chandran discuss Chandran's journey from a young socialist to a thoughtful liberal. Chandran understands the essence of liberalism as a commitment to individual freedom but also a commitment to equal freedom. Chandran and Rob discuss how differently liberalism expresses itself in different cultures and how liberal institutions and ideas are all over the world, even in countries like Singapore, which explicitly disavows liberalism.

Discussions of the ethics and politics of immigration tend to focus on those seeking entry into a new society. We ask whether a country has the “right to exclude” those who want to relocate within it. We explore the moral implications of more-or-less restrictive immigration policies, often with a view towards the plight of immigrants and refugees. These are of course important questions, but in his new book, Immigration and Freedom (Princeton University Press, 2021) Chandran Kukathas argues that a state's immigration policies also exert control over its domestic population. He asks whether this exercise of power is justifiable. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kevin talks with Chandran Kukathas (Singapore Management University) about his new book Immigration and Freedom, as well as his pluralistic approach to political philosophy. In the book, Kukathas argues that immigration restrictions not only problematically restrict the freedom of immigrants but also of citizens, and that many gains that immigration proponents/skeptics think they make by keeping immigrants away are illusory. 3:36 - Chandran's Unique Approach (Contra Rawls) to Political Philosophy 12:52 - Is Chandran a...

Can a free society really limit the movement and activities of foreigners within its borders without impacting the freedoms of its own citizens? On March 29, 2017, Chandran Kukathas, Chair in Political Theory and head of the department at the London School of Economics and Political Science, spoke on the the dangers immigration control pose to individual freedom for our Hayek Speaker Series event.

People have been moving around, and borders have been shifting around, for as long as there have been people. Who gets to say who belongs, and who doesn't? Chandran Kukathas, who heads the London School of Economics' department of government, argues that a free society should tolerate difference, and (relatively) open borders, and quit fearing Muslims as a group.

Chandran Kukathas analyses the varieties of multiculturalism and the implications of a rigorous liberalism.

Genocide is, at first glance, a straightforward term. We understand what it is and why it is such an evil. But, as  Chandran Kukathas of the London School of Economics argues in this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast, perhaps the received definition of this term needs refinement.

Friedrich Hayek was a major figure in Twentieth Century economics and political philosophy, but his ideas are sometimes caricatured, not least because Margaret Thatcher approved of his work. Chandran Kukathas explains the key features of his liberalism in this episode of Philosophy Bites.
