This book investigates the moral and political obligations of individuals living in exile toward their home states and the international community. Ashwini Vasanthakumar, a scholar of political theory, constructs a normative framework that moves beyond the traditional view of exiles as passive victims. By analyzing the unique position of those displaced, she argues that exiles possess specific political roles—such as witnesses, stakeholders, and representatives—that carry distinct ethical duties and rights within transnational political spheres.
