Territorial Sovereignty: A Philosophical Exploration offers a
qualified defense of a territorial states-system. It argues that
three core values-occupancy, basic justice, and collective
self-determination-are served by an international system made up of
self-governing, spatially defined political units. The defense is
qualified because the book does not actually justify all the
sovereignty rights states currently claim, and that are recognized
in international law. Instead, the book proposes important changes
to states' sovereign prerogatives, particularly with respect to
internal autonomy for political minorities, immigration, and
natural resources. Part I of the book argues for a right of
occupancy, holding that a legitimate function of the international
system is to specify and protect people's preinstitutional claims
to specific geographical places. Part II turns to the question of
how a state might acquire legitimate jurisdiction over a population
of occupants. It argues that the state will have a right to rule a
population and its territory if it satisfies conditions of basic
justice and also facilitates its people's collective
self-determination. Finally, Parts III and IV of this book argue
that the exclusionary sovereignty rights to control over borders
and natural resources that can plausibly be justified on the basis
of the three core values are more limited than has traditionally
been thought. Oxford Political Theory presents the best new work in
contemporary political theory. It is intended to be broad in scope,
including original contributions to political philosophy, and also
work in applied political theory. The series will contain works of
outstanding quality with no restriction as to approach or subject
matter. Series Editors: Will Kymlicka and David Miller.
