In his Perpetual Peace Project, Kant keeps coming up against the same theoretical issue: what legal architecture could maintain political communities under one authority without depriving them of their sovereignty? The answer to that question is to be found in a rather surprising place: in Kant’s defence of a limited right to immigration. Kant’s cosmopolitan right to hospitality is divided between an unconditional right to visit and the privilege of the residence. I will argue that the institutionalisation of cosmopolitanism ultimately rests on transnational communication made possible by migratory flows, and therefore requires a progressive blurring of this distinction between visiting and residence. This paves the way for the reinterpretation of Kant’s right to hospitality as the right for migrants to have access to a process of integration.
