From Frontiers to Borders: How Colonial Technicians Created Modern Territoriality
Territorial Integrity As an Etiquette of Thieves: Non-conquest in Nineteenth-Century Imperialism
In the contemporary era, territorial conquest has been seen as illegitimate and has taken place in only limited ways. According to an influential narrative in scholarship and public debate, this “territorial integrity norm” is a product of the post-World War II international order and contrasts with the nineteenth century, when conquest was normalized and “might made right.” This essay argues, however, that nineteenth-century European internation…

Notes from the Editors: Increasing Qualitative Submissions
One of the main goals of our editorial team when we became editors of the American Political Science Review was to increase the substantive , methodological , and representational diversity of the APSR while continuing to publish excellent work. As we explained in our 2019 Vision Statement, we seek to broaden the range of research topics that are published in the journal and to diversify the subfields, geographic foci, and methodological approach…
The Colonial Origins of Modern Territoriality: Property Surveying in the Thirteen Colonies
Most scholars agree the rise of states led to modern territoriality. Yet globally the transition to precise boundaries occurred most often in colonies, and there are virtually no systematic explanations of its occurrence outside Europe. This article explains how precise boundaries emerged in the earliest context where they were regularly and generally implemented: seventeenth- and eighteenth-century colonial North America. Unlike explanations of …
Connected Memories: The International Politics of Partition, from Poland to India
This article theorizes connected memory, or in other words how people remember each other's memories, through the connected histories of territorial partition in different contexts. It claims that social memories can travel beyond their original context, pushing beyond efforts to understand supranational 'mnemonic communities,' or to understand cosmopolitan memory as a thin memory community encompassing all humanity. It builds on the idea of 'con…
Borders and Boundaries
The concepts of ‘borders’ and ‘boundaries’ are in some sense inherently central to International Relations (IR), but Historical IR is an area of the discipline where comparatively little work has been done which takes as its primary goal the analysis of ‘borders’ or ‘boundaries’. In this chapter, we give an overview of IR scholarship which intersects with the history of borders, dividing it into two categories: first, Historical IR which engages …
The rise of linear borders in world politics
This article argues that the dominance of precise, linear borders as an ideal in the demarcation of territory is an outcome of a relatively recent and ongoing historical process, and that this process has had important effects on international politics since circa 1900. Existing accounts of the origins of territorial sovereignty are in wide disagreement largely because they fail to specify the relationship between territory and borders, often con…
The Politics of Time in International Relations
Translating International Relations: On the Practical Difficulties of Diversifying the Discipline
Once within borders: Territories of power, wealth, and belonging since 1500
Veteran historian Charles Maier's latest work is a much-needed book which examines what too many—in international history and beyond—have taken for granted: the changing ideas and practices of representing, enacting and governing territory. Maier's ‘unconventional history’, as he puts it, which ‘has no set of core events to structure a narrative’ (p. x), skilfully weaves together the military, strategic, economic, social and technological spheres…
