 A theory of territorial justice has to explain and justify rights over territory. It has to explain what rights there are, the limits of these rights, and who holds these rights. In doing so, it has to examine and justify the relationship between three different elements: the people (or individual persons); land; and the regime, government or state. There are different ways in which these elements are related and different justificatory values may undergird these different configurations, but all extant theories offer an argument that relates these different elements and justifies their particular configurations.
