Introduction: Territorial Rights: New Directions and Challenges
Recent scholarship has moved beyond the traditional focus on state – citizen relations to scrutinise the normative foundations of territorial authority. This special issue situates itself firmly within this ‘second wave’ of territorial theory, engaging seminal accounts by Moore, Simmons, Stilz, Ochoa Espejo, and Nine while charting new directions on gentrification, immigration, Indigenous land rights, resource governance, and historical injustice
People and Places: The ‘River’ and ‘Desert Island’ Models of Territory
This paper offers a comparative examination of two models of territory: the ‘River’ (Nine, Ochoa Espejo) and the ‘Desert Island’/self-determination (Moore, Stilz) theories. This paper argues first that the central contrast between the two is less stark than it first appears. However, there are several dimensions in which the accounts are contrasting, specifically, the importance of group or collective self-determination, and, relatedly, boundary …

Assessment of the Effectiveness, Socio-Economic Impact and Implementation of a Digital Solution for Patients with Advanced Chronic Diseases: The Adlife Study Protocol
Due to population ageing and medical advances, people with advanced chronic diseases (ACD) live longer. Such patients are even more likely to face either temporary or permanent reduced functional reserve, which typically further increases their healthcare resource use and the burden of care on their caregiver(s). Accordingly, these patients and their caregiver(s) may benefit from integrated supportive care provided via digitally supported interve…
Occupancy, Land Rights and the Algonquin Anishinaabeg
This article is about Indigenous territorial title and land rights, and specifically those of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg Nation. In 1983, the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn, residing in the province of Ontario, petitioned the Crown to recognize Algonquin territorial title and rights to 36,000 square kilometres of their natal homelands in the Ottawa River watershed. With negotiations beginning in the early 1990s, an Agreement-in-Principle was develope…
The Development of a Set of Coaching Competencies for Medical Education Using a Modified Delphi Approach
Purpose: Coaching is emerging as a way to support learners’ academic, professional identity, and well-being goals in medical education. 1,2 To date, there is scant literature on ways to assess coaches and evaluate coaching programs so that the benefits of coaching can be quantified and investments into coaching justified. 3 One piece of this gap is to identify the core competencies of a coach. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) has publi…
Justice Principles, Empirical Beliefs, and Cognitive Biases: Reply to Buchanan's ‘When Knowing What Is Just and Being Committed to Achieving it Is Not Enough’
This article raises three concerns about Buchanan's argument related to the individualist description of ideology and psychological description of the obstacles to justice, as well as the way in which he separates empirical and normative beliefs, which, the article argues, are much more closely connected in all the examples that he raises. In the end, however, it agrees with Buchanan's central contention concerning the cognitive biases that inter…
Beyond advising and mentoring: Competencies for coaching in medical education
BACKGROUND: Coaching supports academic goals, professional development and wellbeing in medical education. Scant literature exists on training and assessing coaches and evaluating coaching programs. To begin filling this gap, we created a set of coach competencies for medical education using a modified Delphi approach. METHODS: An expert team assembled, comprised of seven experts in the field of coaching. A modified Delphi approach was utilized t…
Territorial Rights in Unoccupied Places
The standard justifications for control over territory appeal to goods that are delivered to persons who inhabit the territory (self‐determination, justice). This raises the question: What justifies territorial rights in unoccupied places? This question is relevant to a pressing practical question concerning the permissibility of national and corporate interests in mining or gas drilling and other resource extraction activities in unoccupied plac…
Territorial Justice in Israel/Palestine
This Article examines the two dominant theories of territorial justice — one associated with justice, the other with self–determination. It applies these theories to the case of Israel/Palestine, and to ongoing claims by political actors with respect to territorial rights there. It argues that justice theory seems to straightforwardly suppose the territorial rights of the State of Israel, at least if historical and retrospective considerations ar…

Occupancy rights: Life planners and the Navajos
This Comment focuses on the limitations of Stilz’s individualist conception of occupancy rights. Her account of occupancy is critical to her attempt to answer the question of where one holds territorial rights as well as related place-related rights like the right of return. Her account appeals to the geographical location of individual life plans. This Comment argues that this fails to distinguish between Indigenous People who are connected hist…

Reply to critics
In this reply, Moore addresses the central criticisms of her theory which have been advanced by Bachvarova, Carens, Catala, and Kolers. It argues that the concept of 'people' is not irreducibly subjective, nor is her theory normatively statist. These criticisms rest on a misunderstanding of her theory. She defends the methodological commitment to examining the self-determination argument for territory and arriving at its limits through objections…
A Political Theory of Territory: An overview
In this book I offer a theory of territory, by which I mean a normative theory of the appropriate (that is, normatively defensible) relationship between people, the state and land. It defines what
The Taking of Territory and the Wrongs of Colonialism
Legitimate Expectations and Land
This paper focuses on land as a domain in which legitimate expectations can give rise to entitlements. The central argument is that people are connected to other people and to projects, which are symbolically and materially rooted in particular places. This gives rise to an interest – an interest that is sufficiently weighty that it imposes obligations on other people – to protect stability of place. There are two ways in which legitimate expecta…
Our debt to Walker Connor: Reflections from political theory
First, let me say that it is a pleasure to be asked to comment on the work of Walker Connor, who is a huge figure in the study of nationalism, and has been tremendously influential for me both personally and in my own work. Let me say something personal, first. In the spring of 2005, Walker Connor came to my home university, Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, as a Fulbright Fellow. This was our first Fulbright Fellow and we were thrilled to …
Michael Walzer, Spheres of Justice
This essay examines the ideas and influence of Michael Walzer’s Spheres of Justice. It argues that Walzer’s influence on the discipline has taken a different form than many other writers on justice, such as Rawls, where the central ideas have been taken up and argued about in essentially Rawlsian terms. Walzer’s influence has operated on different levels, of which we can distinguish at least three. There is a micro level, with numerous authors pi…

Justice and Colonialism
This paper examines the relationship between justice and colonialism. It defines colonialism; examines the kind of injustice that colonialism involved; and the possibility of corrective justice
A Political Theory of Territory
"Our world is currently divided into territorial states that resist all attempts to change their borders. But what entitles a state, or the people it represents, to assume monopoly control over a particular piece of the Earth's surface? Why are they allowed to prevent others from entering? What if two or more states, or two or more groups of people, claim the same piece of land? Political philosophy, which has had a great deal to say about the re…
Symposium ‘Theories of Territory beyond Westphalia’
Is territory a trap? Does the concept of territory trap us into false assumptions of internally homogeneous, externally bounded political communities that exercise uniform sovereignty across their domain? Against the background of debates about territory and the territorial state in international relations, this symposium brings together five contributions in political theory that advance a nuanced and systemic understanding of what territory is.…
Natural Resources, Territorial Right, and Global Distributive Justice
The current statist order assumes that states have a right to make rules involving the transfer and/or extraction of natural resources within the territory. Cosmopolitan theories of global justice have questioned whether the state is justified in its control over natural resources, typically by pointing out that having resources is a matter of good luck, and this unfairness should be addressed. This paper argues that self-determination does gener…
Normative Justifications for Liberal Nationalism: Justice, Democracy and National Identity
The essay examines a prominent normative defence of nationalism, which links shared nationality with the attainment of the goods of liberal justice and democratic governance. The essay first considers the argument that liberal values, and especially the value of social justice, will best be promoted in states whose members share a common nationality. In its strong form, this argument is vulnerable to counter‐instances. A weaker version, which cla…
On National Self-Determination
This paper argues in favour of a conception of self-determination which involves the equal recognition of different national identities. It proceeds by, first, criticizing the dominant territorial (in contrast to national) conception of self-determination. It then addresses three main criticisms of a principle of national self-determination. These are (1) the argument from indeterminacy; (2) the argument from instability; (3) the problem of overl…

Global justice, climate change and Miller’s theory of responsibility
This article assesses Miller's conception of global responsibility, partly in terms of its internal plausibility and coherence, but particularly from the point of view of its capacity to deal with the issue of global climate change. Global climate change is challenging for most theories of responsibility (which are tied to our conception of ourselves as agents), which are (a) individualist and (b) focused on direct, rather than indirect, outcomes…

Beyond the cultural argument for liberal nationalism
The nation is usually taken to be an expression, and ‘nationalism’ a defence, of culture. But we may have sanguinary national conflict (as in Northern Ireland or the former Yugoslavia) where cultural difference is small; and we may have minimal conflict (as in Switzerland or Belgium) where cultural difference is great. This essay proposes a shift, away from seeing nations as grounded in culture, to seeing them as grounded in ‘identity’ ‐ often fo…
The Ethics of Care and Justice
This article argues that the relationship between liberal justice and care has been conceived incorrectly. Liberal justice theorists tend to relegate care to the personal sphere and thereby conceptualize it as a form of self-interested action. Care theorists, such as Carol Gilligan, have recognized that the language of care tends to be ignored by justice theorists, but they have tended to incorrectly identify justice and care as two genderized mo…

Foundations of Liberalism
Foundations of Liberalism is a critical examination of contemporary liberal theories of justice (Gewirth, Rawls, Gauthier, Raz, among others) focussing on the familiar problem of how to relate the personal point of view of the individual to the impartial perspective of justice. Two kinds of problems typically arise from the attempt to ground liberal justice in an individualist foundation. The ‘motivation problem’ refers to the difficulty in expla…
Justice for Our Times
This article analyzes the attempt to offer a contextual or historical justification of political liberalism. This type of justificatory argument for liberal political principles has recently been advanced by John Rawls in a series of essays and by Charles Larmore in his 1987 book entitled Patterns of Moral Complexity. Both Rawls and Larmore argue that this justification for liberal political principles avoids the problems attributed to other form…
Place-related attachments and global distributive justice
This paper is interested in place-related attachments. It discusses the way in which territory or land is treated in theories of global distributive justice, and argues that this fails to capture the normatively significant relationship between peoples and places. This paper argues that any adequate theory of justice in territory has to begin by recognizing that territory is a claimant-relative good, and that this should be an important point of …
On Rights to Land, Expulsions, and Corrective Justice
This article examines the nature of the wrongs that are inflicted on individuals and groups who have been expelled from the land that they previously occupied, and asks what they might consequently be owed as a matter of corrective justice. I argue that there are three sorts of potential wrongs involved in such expulsions: being deprived of the moral right of occupancy; being denied collective self-determination; and having one's property rights …

Liberalism and the Ideal of the Good Life
This article examines a recent justificatory argument in defense of liberal political principles. Joseph Raz, in The Morality of Freedom , and Will Kymlicka, in his book Liberalism, Community and Culture , argue that liberalism is not based on skepticism or on an implausible individualist metaphysics, as its communitarian critics have contended. They argue that liberalism can be justified as an essential element in human flourishing. This article…

On Reasonableness
This essay argues that the concept of ‘reasonableness’plays an important role in Scanlon's, Rawls's, and Barry's theories of justice (or morality). The relationship between moral motivation and reasonableness is critically analysed. Specifically, the paper questions whether it is plausible to impute to the agents of construction the desire ‘to justify our actions to others on impartial terms’. It also argues that most of the work is done by the a…

National Self-Determination and Secession
National Self‐determination and Secession brings together a number of original essays by leading figures in the field on the ethics of secession. It examines such questions as: When is secession justified? What is a people and what gives them a right to secede? Is national self‐determination compatible with liberal and democratic principles? It offers fresh insight into debates about contested territory, the problem of minorities, and the place o…

Introduction: The Making and Unmaking of Boundaries
This volume is concerned with one of the most pressing issues facing us today: the making and unmaking of boundaries. Even in this age of globalization – by which is usually meant capital mobility, extremely rapid methods of transportation and communication, the liberalization of economic markets, the advance of multinational corporations to many parts of the globe, and increased global economic trade – boundaries are enormously important. It mat…
States, Nations and Borders: The Ethics of Making Boundaries
This volume examines comparatively the views and principles of seven prominent ethical traditions on one of the most pressing issues of modern politics - the making and unmaking of state and national boundaries. The traditions represented are Judaism, Christianity, Islam, natural law, Confucianism, liberalism and international law. Each contributor, an expert within one of these traditions, shows how that tradition can handle the five dominant me…
