Abstract: Modern Europe witnessed the birth of the concept of sovereignty accompanied by the spatial shift of state-building; in terms of physical space, legal space and image space, territorial state was built in both internal and external dimensions duringwhichtime the relationship with the empire, church, lords and other sovereignpowers should be addressed, followed by taking advantage of the geographical power mechanism to shape the land space and its order. For such kind of national spatialization and territorial sovereignty, traditional scholars usually attribute it to a top-down structural transformation. This article argues that both the material sense of boundary closure and the legal level of right argument are summarized through a series of practices and experiences. Taking modern France as an example, the birth of a territorial state is reflected in various aspects such as boundary delineation, territorial integration, spatial governance, and cultural representation. It has reference significance for understanding modern geopolitical culture and reflecting on current global territorial issues when we sort out these phenomena and traditions at the micro level.

Key words: territorial state, sovereignty, space steering, geopolitics, international relations
