D. Vigneswaran 
Territory, Migration and the Evolution of the International System 

This book deconstructs territoriality in the context of current and past European politics to advance international relations scholars’ understanding of the uses and limits of territory in European history as well as the origin of an international system. It looks to the future of migration regimes beyond the territorially exclusive state.
