Hélène Ruiz Fabri, Immaterial, Territoriality and State
The development of immaterial communication and the penetrability of the territory of the State asks the question of the control of the State over a national normative space usually traced exactly over the territory and expressed in the principle of territoriality. Of course, there are normative alternatives but some of them challenge the monopoly of State. The loss of control of the State over its territory leads to wonder if the way this entity is defined by international law remains valid. It seems possible to say that the evolutions, however important, have not yet altered this validity.

Key Words : immaterial, territory, state, international
