On Borders
Territories, Legitimacy, and the Rights of Place
When are borders justified?
Borders are justified when they allow us to fulfill those duties; that border-control rights spring from internationally-agreed conventions--not from internal legitimacy; that borders should be governed cooperatively by the neighboring states and the states system; and that border redrawing should be done with environmental conservation in mind.
Who has a right to control them?
Border-control rights spring from internationally-agreed conventions.
Where should they be drawn?
Borders should be drawn with environmental conservation in mind and should be governed cooperatively by neighboring states and the states system.
