Territory is very important when it comes to starting, fighting, and ending wars. For land to be called “territory,” people need to think of it that way and treat it as their own. In simple terms, territory is something that countries and people make real by their beliefs and actions.

In Shifting Grounds, Burak Kadercan looks at different examples, like the Thirty Years War and ISIS, to understand how ideas about territory affect wars. He explains that different countries and people have thought about and used territory in different ways over time. What territory means can change depending on the time and place.

Kadercan makes two main points. First, how a country’s leaders think about their territory, both inside and outside their borders, can change their goals and how they fight wars. Second, the way people think about territory leads to different types of wars, and wars can also change how people think about land. Kadercan also talks about how wars can change the way people understand territory and power, and how this can be different in Western countries compared to non-Western ones.
