Abstract

Contemporary scholarship and policy discussions increasingly acknowledge the ongoing transformation of the established world order. This paradigm shift is accompanied by significant changes in international legal frameworks across multiple jurisdictions. The present study examines the evolving dynamics of territorial governance and the multifaceted influences exerted by various actors in this process. Through interdisciplinary analysis, this work develops a comprehensive theoretical framework that addresses the politico-legal dimensions of territorial sovereignty. The research offers original typologies: (1) a classification of external influences on territorial governance, and (2) a categorization of territories based on their vulnerability to external interventions and the strength of state sovereignty in today’s geopolitical landscape.
