About this book

The Ethics of Territorial Borders develops a distinctive line of argument, drawing on political theory and geography as well as international relations. Unusually, this book argues for the ethical significance of borders themselves, pointing to their role in human diversity and the enduring appeal of territorial division.

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
