These are conflicts over the language of the border agreement in a treaty or boundary contract. It's about how we interpret what was written down when the boundary was set.
Think of it like two siblings arguing over who gets to play with a toy based on their parents' vague instructions. The argument isn't about the toy itself, but rather how each sibling interprets their parents' words.
Boundary Dispute: A disagreement over where a border should be placed.
Territoriality: The connection of people, their culture, and their economic systems to the land.
Sovereignty: The ability of a state to govern its territory free from control of its internal affairs by other states.
