Historical injustice and global inequality are basic problems embedded in        territorial rights. We ask questions such as: How can the descendants of colonists        claim territory that isn't really 'theirs'? Are the immense, exclusive oil claims of        Canada or Saudi Arabia justified in the face of severe global poverty? Wouldn't the        world be more just if rights over natural resources were shared with the world's        poorest? These concerns are central to territorial rights theory and at thesame time        they are relatively unexplored. In fact, while there is a sizable debate focused on        particular territorial disputes, there is little sustained attention given to        providing a general standard for territorial entitlement. This widespread omission        is disastrous. If we don't understand whyterritorial rights are justified in a        general, principled form, then how do we know they can be justified in any        particular solution to a dispute?As part of an effort to remedy this omission, in        this book Cara Nine advances a general theory of territorial rights. Nine puts        forward a theory of territorial rights that starts with the idea that territorial        rights affect everybody. Territorial rights, she asserts, must be universally        justified. She adapts a theoretical framework from natural law theory to ground all        territorial claims. In this framework, particular territorial rights are claimable        by the collectives that establishlegitimate, minimal conditions for justice within a        geographical region. A consequence of this theoretical approach to territorial        rights is that exclusive resource entitlements are justified, even if they maintain        global inequality.
