Since the Cold-War, unrecognized states have been involved in conflicts over sovereign statehood in the Balkans, the former Soviet Union, South Asia, the Horn of Africa, and the South Pacific; some of which elicited major international crises and intervention, including the use of armed force.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYet they remain subject to many myths and simplifications. Drawing on a number of contemporary and historical cases, from Nagorno Karabakh and Somaliland to Taiwan, this timely new book provides a comprehensive analysis of unrecognized states. It examines their origins, the factors that enable them to survive and explores their likely future trajectories. But it is not just a book about unrecognized states; it is a book about sovereignty and statehood; one which does not shy way from addressing crucial issues such as how these anomalies survive in a system of sovereign states and how the context of non-recognition affects their attempts to build effective state-like entities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdeal for students and scholars of global politics, peace and conflict studies, \u003ci\u003eUnrecognized States \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a much needed and engaging account of the development of unrecognized states in the modern international system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNina Caspersen \u003c\/b\u003eis lecturer in peace and conflict studies at Lancaster University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42131915112583,"sku":"9780745653433","price":42.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a884907587e90b86dc00a41ff971a4b2.webp?v=1732622346","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/unrecognized-states-the-struggle-for-sovereignty-in-the-modern-international-system-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
