Territoriality as a Global Concept

Stanford M. Lyman ; Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton

Abstract

The terraqueous globe is made up of spaces on which peoples, ethnic groups, races, and nations have carved out territories over which they form themselves into sovereign bodies politic, on which they can interact, through and across which they can pass with ease or difficulty, at the borders of which they can erect barriers or open the area to migrants and trade. Hence, I propose territoriality as the successor concept to social distance and as both a basic concept and a fundamental process in all of human life.

Keywords

territoriality; terraqueous globe; sphragistics; eristics; social distance; toponym; anthroponym
