In our response to our commentators, we address four main issues. First, the role and purpose of our account of voluntariness in migration, and how it differs from the notion of voluntariness employed in the ideal theory of liberal egalitarian justice. Second, where our account of receiving states’ obligations towards migrants stands with respect to a cosmopolitan right to free immigration on one hand, and the discretion of receiving states in deciding the conditions of admission on the other. Third, our reasons for insisting on special rights for those who engage in temporary migration projects, rather than relying on frameworks of supranational citizenship rights. Finally, our choice to frame our account of receiving states’ duties to temporary migrants without relying on strong transnational assumptions.

Abstract
In our response to our commentators, we address four main issues. First, the role and purpose of our account of voluntariness in migration, and how it differs from the notion of voluntariness employed in the ideal theory of liberal egalitarian justice. Second, where our account of receiving states’ obligations towards migrants stands with respect to a cosmopolitan right to free immigration on one hand, and the discretion of receiving states in deciding the conditions of admission on the other. Third, our reasons for insisting on special rights for those who engage in temporary migration projects, rather than relying on frameworks of supranational citizenship rights. Finally, our choice to frame our account of receiving states’ duties to temporary migrants without relying on strong transnational assumptions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
