Summary:

"States, at least in the modern era, tend not to move (at least not much). Borders are adjusted, some states disappear, but they seldom move to entirely new geographic positions if they reappear. It wasn't always true that states, state-like formations, or political communities didn't move. The nomadic empires of the steppes of Asia moved a great deal. It also wasn't always true that states were defined by reference to geometrically defined spaces. Sovereignty over physical space has often been relational, relative, and conceived of as rights to seasonal migration routes, sea lanes, or, more often, the spaces inhabited by kith and kin wherever they happened to be"-- Provided by publisher.
