    Las fronteras del aire: cambio climático, migraciones y justicia global
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Campillo, Antonio
    Necesitamos comprender la novedad de las migraciones contemporáneas para poder regularlas con criterios de justicia. Para ello, hemos de considerar la escala geopolítica global, la larga duración histórica y nuestro vínculo ecológico con la biosfera. Migran las plantas, los animales y los humanos, estos últimos por la violencia, la desigualdad y la degradación ambiental. El cambio climático es ya la principal causa de las extinciones de especies y de las migraciones humanas. Por eso, debemos instituir una justicia social y ambiental global que proteja simultáneamente a los pueblos, a las generaciones venideras, a las especies y a los ecosistemas.

    Odious debts and international fair trade.
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Dimitriu, Cristian
    I argue that one of the most important reasons why international trade has been unfair is that weaker parties in trading negotiations have been illegitimately forced to accept terms of trade that they would not otherwise accept under normal circumstances. Odious debts are at the center of this kind of injustice. Odious debts are sovereign debts that are not binding for the state, as public officials have used the money for private purposes. Creditor countries have taken advantage of the fact that countries are burdened with odious debts by tailoring trade agreements in their favor.

    The right to migrate: a matter of freedom or justice?
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2025) Niño Arnaiz, Borja; Sin departamento asociado
    This paper investigates one of the central questions in the ethics of migration: is migration a matter of freedom or justice? The former claims that it is a human right, whereas the latter defends a remedial right to immigrate as a way to meet the requirements of global distributive justice. These arguments seem to enter into an intractable contradiction. On the one hand, if freedom of movement is a human right, it should not be subordinated to the maximization of justice. On the other hand, in a non-ideal world an open-borders policy would be of little help in the assignment of priorities, and its redistributive effects would be suboptimal. The solution, I will argue, lies in a package of global redistributive measures. More open borders now can bring us closer to justice, and only then would immigration make sense as a human right.
