Abstract

This note offers an analysis of the retention of national sovereignty by

states that have lost all of their territory, primarily by analyzing the

international recognition of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta as a post-

territorial state. This analysis will be of increasing pertinence as more nations

face territorial loss due to climate change. This paper traces the development

of the Order's role in world politics and its ongoing international recognition

by various nations.
