The paper seeks to find the relationship between the philosophical debate on absolute and relative space & the IR debate on territoriality. It shows the relation between the absolute space concept & the territorial definition of the modern state. It also seeks to find parallels between relativity & relative space on one hand & the current questioning of territoriality & attempts to find a substitute for it on the other. Due to the fact that relativity has not been overthrown in philosophy of physics, the article concludes that we cannot expect a relative conception of space to disappear from IR either.
