This paper examines the changing meaning of "territoriality" by focusing on the problem of representation. It examines the two-dimensional homogenous space as it has been increasingly used in "mapping" the international system as an area of mutually exclusive zones of jurisdiction. This way of mapping has reinforced the notion of "sovereignty" as exclusion, despite the growth of competing jurisdictional claims based on a variety of principles, which the emergence of private international law attempted to mediate during the heydays of the nation state.
