本文引入了“陆地水的领土性”一词来分析资本主义作为一种社会形态与海洋作为一种自然力量之间的特殊关系。它侧重于三个空间-专属经济区，“方便旗”制度和多边反海盗倡议-作为资本主义国家和公司寻求超越坚实的陆地和流动的海洋之间的地理物理差异的实例。这里有人认为，资本积累试图通过主权形式和从陆地经验中汲取的占有模式来将海洋领土化，但在这样做的过程中遇到了特殊的紧张局势，从而产生了独特的空间效应。通过探索在陆地与海洋交汇的空间组织中主权、领土和占有之间的联系，本文试图展示一个强调当代资本主义土地性质的分析框架的价值。
This paper introduces the term 'terraqueous territoriality' to analyse a particular relationship between capitalism as a social formation, and the sea as a natural force. It focuses on three spaces - exclusive economic zones, the system of 'flags of convenience' and multilateral counter-piracy initiatives - as instances of capitalist states and firms seeking to transcend the geo-physical difference between firm land and fluid sea. Capital accumulation, it is argued here, seeks to territorialise the sea through forms of sovereignty and modes of appropriation drawn from experiences on land, but in doing so encounters particular tensions thereby generating distinctive spatial effects. By exploring the articulation between sovereignty, territory and appropriation in the organisation of spaces where land meets sea, the article seeks to demonstrate the value of an analytical framework that underlines the terraqueous nature of contemporary capitalism.
