 The structural similarities between property rights and territorial rights should not blind us to their differences. Territory is not the same as property, because it has, as its primary element, a right of jurisdiction. Some of the rights that are included in rights over territory look as though they’re concerned with the claims to regulate and control a particular territory, which we think of as primarily rights of jurisdiction; and other rights are much more property-like, because they involve exclusionary claims over a region, and claims about how to use resources and land located within the boundaries of the state. However, these rights are mainly conceived of as secondary to that of jurisdiction, and of meta-jurisdictional powers such as the power to secede from a state or merge with another one.
