Abstract
This chapter explores and defends the territorial rights of states in an argument that is rooted in the value of collective self-determination. It offers a critique of rival values to explain territorial rights, and then explores the implications of that argument for defensive rights over territory. The justification in terms of self-determination is compatible with Michael Walzer’s argument that self-determination is a central principle of the international order in Just and Unjust Wars. The argument provided, in terms of territorial rights, is distinct from the one that Walzer offered, however, perhaps because his argument was focused centrally on war.
