Territory and Self-Determination

In this talk, the speaker discusses the often overlooked significance of territory-the geographical domain of the modern state-in political theory, political science, international law, and international relations. While traditional discussions emphasize the rights and duties between states and citizens, the concept of territory remains underexplored. Many global conflicts revolve around territorial disputes, including issues of borders, belonging, secession, and annexation. This talk aims to explore the fundamental questions surrounding territory, evaluate existing territorial theories and their shortcomings, and consider the legitimacy of claims over territory.
Speaker
Margaret Moore, Professor of Political Studies and Philosophy, Queen's University
