May Lockean Doughnuts Have Holes? The Geometry of Territorial Jurisdiction: A Response to Nine

Hillel Steiner

Political Studies, 2008, vol. 56, issue 4, 949-956

Abstract: The traditional Lockean account of a state's territorial rights construes them as arising from, and coextensive with, the property rights of whichever set of landowners mutually contract to form that state. The coherence of this individualistic account has recently been challenged by Cara Nine. I argue that the reasons offered in support of that incoherence charge are unpersuasive.
