 The main differences among these theories tend to track the following dimensions: (1) the putative territorial right-holder; (2) the value that explains and justifies rights over territory and which limits the scope of each of these rights; and (3) the argument for connecting both the justifying value and the rights to the particular geographical area. Let’s take these different dimensions in order. The first key difference among rival theories concerns their conception of the appropriate (or justified) territorial right-holder: is it the nation? the people? or the state? They also offer different accounts of the underlying value that justifies these rights: the main contenders are peace and stability; justice; and self-determination. The underlying value also affects the scope of the rights being claimed, and indeed which set of rights in the bundle of rights can be so justified. A theory of territory has to explain how we can demarcate the geographical domain that the rights range over. It is not sufficient to explain in general that states need to be territorial in order to realize whatever value is supposed to justify them. The theory should explain which particular bits of territory are connected to which states. This is called in the literature ‘the particularity question’. To address this question, the theory needs an argument that relates people and land to the state in ways that justify rights over particular bits of territory, and this is a difficult problem for one of the most prominent theories of territory—justice theories.
