"The Ethics of Territorial Borders" develops a distinctive line of argument, drawing on political theory and geography as well as international relations. It argues that although borders have played a role in ethical discussions about war, about intervention and about identity in international politics, these treat them as possessing derivative significance. Instead, this book critiques such an approach to argue for the ethical significance of borders themselves, pointing to their role in human diversity and the enduring appeal of territorial division.

Industry Reviews

'This book remains an extremely interesting and challenging read for both political scientists and anthropologists interested in the relationship between borders, sovereignty, and the international system.' - Political Geography
