 There are many theorists of justice and political obligation who adopt a Kantian view of the justification of the state, but fewer who try to apply this theory to justify territory. A fairly typical view is expressed by Allen Buchanan who argues that “the chief moral purpose of endowing an entity with political power is to achieve justice…” (Buchanan 2003a: 247; Waldron 2009). He then clarifies that justice involves acceptance of human rights, due process and the rule of law. This basically Kantian view is very helpful for explaining why we need states, but, like Kant’s own account, has difficulty explaining where the state ought to wield that power (the particularity problem). This in turn gives rise to three distinct, but inter-related, problems, and manoeuvres to deal with that problem.
