| Summary: | Territory is one of the central political concepts of the modern world and, indeed, functions as the primary way the world is divided and controlled politically. Yet territory has not received the critical attention afforded to other crucial concepts such as sovereignty, rights, and justice.

This book provides a detailed account of the emergence of territory within Western political thought. |
