Sovereignty is rarely a settled fact.
It is negotiated, disputed, and reinterpreted — often far from where the official record admits.
This project tracks those disputes as they unfold: who claims
what, on what grounds, and what happens when competing claims meet. Each case is treated on its own terms, not folded into a single narrative about how the world works.
What’s here: memos on individual contested cases, the framework behind how they’re built, and the reasoning that shapes each one.
