Descripción
Sumario:[EN] This paper reconsiders the meaning of national borders and its role in the control of migration flows from the perspective of distributive justice. Beyond defining the territory of jurisdiction of each state, borders guarantee the reproduction of the comparative advantages enjoyed by countries with greater economic prosperity and their citizens. Thus, they convert into endemic the disadvantages suffered by the less fortunate. From the perspective of the affected subjects, the way borders function as distributors of resources and welfare can be characterized as a global lottery. That being the case, it becomes a political and moral imperative to find some way, oriented by principles of justice, to overcome the arbitrariness generated by state borders.
