"Democracy, Self-Determination, and Territory"
Abstract: In contemporary theories of group self-determination, an important
connection is made between the right of self-determination and the right
to territory; the right of self-determination is a necessary condition
for the right to territory. (Some theories assume that the right of
self-determination is a necessary and sufficient condition for the right
to territory.) Any account of the right of self-determination must also
be able to give an account of the connection between self-determination
and territory. In this paper, I explore the relationship between
accounts of the right of group self-determination from theories of
democracy and the right to territory. Unfortunately for existing
democratic accounts of self-determination, I argue that they cannot give
an account of a right to territory. Fortunately, I offer an alternative
democratic account of self-determination based on the notion of
compromise as an element of justice. My account, I argue, can explain
why it is that a group with the right of self-determination also may
have a right to territory.

Will talk about his work on representation. He has a book in progress on representation, but he applies his treatment more generally, in particular to paintings, which may be of general interest.
