International Studies Association Ethics Panel Book Award 2016 Notable Mention

"Moore's dense and rigorous critique of alternative theories of territorial rights will be of considerable value to scholars." --George Anderson, Literary Review of Canada

"A Political Theory of Territory is a pathbreaking book: it is one of the first monographs to assess the existing literature on this issue, and to contribute an original argument on a topic that has become central to normative Anglo-American political philosophy in recent decades." -- Perspectives on Politics

"Above and beyond the originality of its arguments, Moore's book impressively surveys and critiques all the relevant philosophical literature on territory, presenting its reader with a clear overview of pre-existing accounts, as well as distinguishing its own contribution from those that pre-date it. No other author to date has taken on the wide array of issues discussed in Moore's current work, nor has anyone previously addressed the entire range of interlocutors in the territorial debate. Moore delivers on her promise, presenting us with a systematic book length theory of territory, unmatched by any of the previous writing on this topic. She has given those of us interested in territorial justice a book which deserves much praise. For anyone working on issues related to territory, this book is a veritable 'must read'." --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online

"This is a well-written, well-argued book on an extraordinarily important and until recently neglected topic. Moore is impressively knowledgeable of all the relevant philosophical literature and does an excellent job in general of distinguishing her view from those of others such as Miller, Waldron, Kolers, Meisels, and Nine. Moore succeeds in staking out a new, yet very plausible position-one that avoids the deficiencies of rival theories."--Allen Buchanan, James B. Duke Professor, Duke University

"The work is well grounded in the literature, its argument is powerful, and it is clear and highly accessible. An important contribution to the field...Highly recommended." -- Choice
