Abstract

Motivated by a comparative analysis of the rise of populism in contemporary US and UK immigration policies, the chapter draws on the legacy of Kantian notions of impartiality in contemporary liberal-egalitarian political philosophy, and a Rawlsian contractualist analysis of political justification, to argue for a re-theorising of the value of partial reasons for action at the political level and against the moral legitimacy of nationalistic, protectionist foreign policy.
