Description
Unrecognized States: A Comprehensive Analysis of Sovereignty in the Modern International System This timely new book provides a thorough examination of unrecognized states, exploring their origins, survival factors, and future trajectories. Drawing on contemporary and historical cases, Nina Caspersen sheds light on the complexities of sovereignty and statehood, addressing crucial issues such as how these anomalies survive in a system of sovereign states. The book delves into the context of non-recognition, its impact on unrecognized states' attempts to build effective entities, and the factors that enable them to persist. By analyzing various cases, including Nagorno Karabakh, Somaliland, and Taiwan, Caspersen offers a nuanced understanding of the development of unrecognized states in the modern international system. Ideal for students and scholars of global politics, peace, and conflict studies, Unrecognized States provides a much-needed account of this critical topic.
